[ WP ] The entire world is colorless - unless you 're touching your soulmate .

The white sandy beach behind my coastal house is nothing to be desired. I wake up each morning waiting for Jace to return, even after he just left. The water is gray, along with the sky. And the sand has a white/gray color. The view seems like a painful reminder of how cruel this world really is. I try to imagine what is what like when we held hands, walking on the beach. The yellow sand, and bright blue water. But when I open my eyes, it's all back to normal. I sigh. 
 `` Yeah, do n't worry, I'll be there in a minute Amanda.'' Jace promises Wednesday at noon. I always complain about what it's like without him, but at least he is the same way. 
 Minutes seemed like hours, but finally have drives down my driveway. 
 I do n't waste any time and I run up to hug him. I close my eyes and savor every moment I have with him. We've been together for over 3 years, and we are planning to go to Alaska. I'm hoping and praying that he will propose to me then. 
 Smiling, I open my eyes. The sky is still gray, and the grass is too. My smile quickly faded and I turn to him, panicked. 
 His smile begins to fade when he sees me. 
 `` Amanda, what's wrong?'' He holds me out at arms length to look into my eyes. 
 `` What color do you see in my eyes Jace?'' I ask. 
 `` Blue, beautiful blue. As always. I always compare it too the ocean, do n't you remember.'' He says worried. 
 My panic only increases. `` Yeah, I remember. It's just,'' I try to think of the words to say. How to explain this too him. `` I just wanted to hear you say it again.'' I say, faking a smile. 
 He just smiles in return. 
 `` You know, Jace, I'm not feeling to well. I hate to leave already but I'm going to run to the store quick and get some medicine.'' 
 `` You sure? I could get it for you, it's no problem. Really.'' 
 `` No, I just need to get out too. The air will be nice.'' 
 He does n't seem to be buying it, but he agrees hesitantly anyway. 
 `` Alright, I'll just be here waiting then.'' He says. 
 I fake another smile. Trying to the put words into my eyes: `` I'm fine really, I'll be right back. I love you.'' But I've never really been the best actor. And he just looks more worried, but turns away. And I leave. 
 I do n't go to the store like I promised. I just went to the Look Out. A famous place where I live, that is on a cliff side. It overlooks the ocean. Best view around. But when I look at the ocean now, it's a painful reminder, again, of what it will never be like again. My thoughts begin to drift like this and I panic even more. The ocean's waves, and wind, seem to call me closer. Call me down. What more do I have here besides memories of what I lost. I think of Jace and get reminded of what he still has, but it will never go on if it's one sided. He's better without me. He will move on. I stand up and walk forward. The gray sea calling my name. I'm now on the edge and I look down. I hold out my arms and lean forward... 
 
 Only to have a arm around my waist, pulling me back. 
 `` Finally!'' 
 I look into the face of a young man I've never seen. He's around my age, 19. His arms, still around me. Are round, muscular, and tan. His eyes are as green as the forest, when I saw it with Jace last summer. And his hair is as dark as midnight, and does n't change even with the sun hard against it. I look behind him at the now blue sky, and golden sand. He seems to have appeared from thin air, and he looks like he came strait out of a book. And he smiles at me. And I'm lost. 
 `` I've been trying to find you for years, come with me.'' 
 And we fade away into the evening.
