• Among the setting sun, the clouds pass o'er. Until the night falls, they hold on. "Never let me go." She whispered tightly into his shoulder, "Please. Don't leave me...."
    His shirt became tear-stained with her heart. Her small hands clawed at his shirt, her shoulders shaking and her heart throbbing. He was leaving her. He said he never was, and here they were now, saying the final whisperings of a good-bye. In the morning, he was to be chained and be-headed. Sobbing, she kept cradling her love, kept whispering her last prayers.
    "Maybe they'll leave you alone. Maybe- maybe they'll let you go! Just please!" She would've collapsed if it weren't for his arms wrapped tightly around her, "Please! Don't do this, Angelo!"
    The boy, the man named Angelo, sighed and whispered gently into her sweaty, matted Auburn hair.
    "Bella, Miranda, a te siete, e ognora volli devoto, mio
    singolo bella...."
    "

    Another sob racked her body violently and a soft scream escaped her quivering lips. His Italiano was one of the things that made her fall deeply in love with him.
    "I know, Angelo, but- but...."
    Another sob racked her and he didn't support her, he fell right beside her. He couldn't stand any longer. His brother accused him of an unspeakable crime and now he is sentenced to death. At dawn, he would kiss his lover good-bye and he will face his doom.
    "Don't cry, bella, please. It makes me saddened to......."
    He trailed off. The sun was set and the ocean looked deadly. His head nestled deeply into her shoulder. Her hands stroked his luscious curls as tears fell from his eyes and down his olive cheeks, staining in turn her silk dress sleeve. He had fallen for a princess of all things, and she in turn fell in love with a lowly peasant. His crime couldn't be cleaned, and her father hated him so she knew she couldn't do anything to save him. Whispering in his ears, she silently sang a quiet lullaby in her rough Italian.
    "Farfallina
    Bella e bianca
    vola vola
    mai si stanca
    gira qua
    e gira la
    poi si resta sopra un fiore
    e poi si resta spora un fior

    Ecco ecco
    a trovata
    bianca e rosa
    colorata
    gira qua
    e gira la
    poi si resta sopra un fiore
    e poi si resta spora un fiore....
    "

    It was always their song, their lullaby.
    "Grazie, Mi bella, a te sono, con cogni cosa miei cuore, sorprendente....."
    The time was flying but the world was slowing about them. Dawn was coming fast. They spent the entire night sobbing and holding each other in their arms. Angelo gathered Miranda, holding her together as if she would fall apart right in front of him. He nuzzled her neck lovingly and his brown eyes met her green ones.
    "No matter what happens, I will always remember you, mi bella, and you will always remember me. However, I will forgive you if you need another...... Mi Bella, I love you...."
    Angelo sobbed as the sun peaked the mountains and Miranda screamed. She knew that she needed one last time. One more minute. He let go of her and started for the door. This was her last chance.
    "Angelo! Wait!"
    She fell towards him. She gripped him tightly and whispered into his olive ears,
    "Angelo, you will always be my only love and I will never let it go!"
    Tears flew down both their cheeks as he kissed her passionately for one last time.
    "Grazie, bella. A me volli perdere a te negli il dopochè-durata......"
    He let go of her. The bell chimed 7 times and he knew his fate. Miranda gave one last sob and let go of the hand of her only lover.
    "Good-bye, mi bella, good-bye.....
    She bowed her head and silently cried, knowing that her lover will look after her in the after-life, waiting for her to come back to him.................
