Moonlight cast cool rays over my shoulder calming my demeanor while I waited in the cold and quiet alley. My thoughts strayed to better days then the ones I lived through now. How my life takes tragic turns and twists at every obstacle. I have been waiting for hours for her to show up it seamed. It wouldn't be long now she shall pass by very soon. I could feel the anticipation seeping out of my being. I brushed my hands down the front of my skirt to wipe the moister off. I have been separated from her too long. I have wandered aimlessly looking for her everywhere, only to find all but her. She was my other half, the perfect shelter. How had this come about? How could I have let her walk away without taking me with her? I'm a fool. I have been in this cold dark alley too long praying, wishing, begging to be reunited with her. If only this feeling, longing, would have left before I could have moved on, left her behind. You never know how attached you are to another before its too late. I ran my fingers through my hair pushing it up and out of my eyes. I would not let a few strands of hair disable me from sighting her. This was the moment, the day, the time, I would be in her presence. My persistence would pay off. All the other distractions in this world, the pull to other places, was never strong enough to rip me from my mission. At last I could see her. She turned the corner walking in my direction. I stood froze trying not to breath. Tremors flew through me daring me to shudder. I wouldn't. I refused. Her black hair danced over her shoulders and her eyes were vacant. How did she ever live without me? She slowly walked closer and closer to where I was. She was just close enough to be in my reach. I let air out of my lungs so gently that the rats that kept me company couldn't even hear. She was inches now. I placed my fingertips to the surface of the mirror and pushed with all my determination. My hand pushed free of it and I grabbed her wrist with a death grip. Her head jerked in shock and gazed upon me. She was perfectly identical. Her shock matched mine on her face. I slowly ebbed out of the mirror back into my body with a peace I had never felt before. I was home at last. She was me and I am her once again.
