"Excuse me?" She said, stepping up beside me at the bus stop. "I need an answer to a question."

"...Hit me." I was bored, and really didn't have much else going on.

"How would you define 'love'?" The lady next to me didn't look as she asked the question, flipping open a leather bound book and getting out a pen.

I looked at her a moment starting to speak, as I tried saying the usual line...but it wouldn't come out. Instead something purple-pink drifted out of my mouth, feeling like a hug from my mother, the taste of my first kiss, and the smell of sweet wine and fruit.

"Mhmm... yes, very good answer thank you." She smiled and mist sucked into the pen and book. "Move two steps over to the right please."

Stunned and really at a loss for what had just happened, I complied and took two long steps over into the street staring at her.

I didn't even see the bicycle messenger coming at me head on.

And that kids, is how I met your father.

She left 6 years ago. Said she couldn't handle things on this side anymore, the threat letters for us living together, the gay-bashers, and skinheads.

We'd been together for a little over a year and a half before then, and I can't tell you how much I loved her then, and still do now. We used to have dates together, gazing at the place under the bridge where the barrier between places was so thin it was like looking into a swirling sunset.

But six years ago she said she couldn't take it anymore. She didn't come out and say it directly, she left a letter, saying she would be waiting for me on the other side of that barrier.

Six years ago. I still get letters from her, from the other side, every month or so. They appear in my business binder, sometimes just appear at my elbow when I'm working at my desk. They always come in a soft lavender parchment, with the smell of her perfume.

I plan to go and see her, stay with her someday soon. But I have a lot of work to do yet before I leave.

This world has to be left in better condition than what I found it in.
