He had turned down the advances of a few females lately. He just wasn't in the mood yet. He had lost his mojo a long time ago and he had no plans on looking for it any time soon. He wasn't secluding himself away but he was spending a lot of time alone. So many things had changed. He had to find himself and in order to do that he knew he had to get lost for a while. He hadn't realized how hollow he had allowed himself to become through out the years.
He went for a jog and that's where he found her. The first female he had truly touched in a long time. He wasn't looking for her but there she was. She followed him home and they would spend the rest of her life together. His heart was in desperate need of this. He had no idea how desperate. They spent long hours together. Late at night he would listen to her shallow breathes. Sometimes he would put his head on her side and listen to her heart beat. She was always warm and her warmth helped to fill his hollowness.
Their relationship wouldn't last very long but it would leave an everlasting mark. She had saved his heart from self imposed isolation and for that he would always be grateful. She died with his hand over her heart while he listened to her shallow breath.
