To wake up from the darkness you need gentle words

The building stood quiet and inconspicuous in the middle of a valley, surrounded by the hills of the mountains. Nothing moved, no sound could be heard, not even the rustling of a leaf that fluttered individually and alone in the wind.
No, there was silence. On this dark night nobody would suspect that someone or something was moving through the underbrush of the forest.
But it was like that, a figure so black and mysterious like hardly anything else crept along his way.
He smoothed his way past the trees, always careful not to be noticed. Not to be caught on his run. Not caught on his way into new life.
If he could reach her now then maybe she would still be alive, but what if that wasn't the case? Would he ever see her again? You ever hold in his arms again? NO!!!! It just couldn't be over yet.Had he only just confessed his love to her, had only just discovered her for himself ....
No that would not be possible, it MUST not be possible!
Not now... .
He ran on and on, not even with the prudence of remaining undetected .....
If only he hadn't gone to her and told her ...
