The End
There he was, standing across me with eyes so rich I could spend my lifetime staring into it. A tear rolled out of his right eye. 2 seconds, one from his left. Somewhere deep in me, I heard something break. It was my heart.
I did not hold my hand out for him to take, neither did I surrender myself into his like I thought I would. We stood there, two lovers unable to comprehend the death of their love.
He still looked so beautiful with eyes that are blotched now. His nose had turned slightly red. This was the same man I gave my heart to, the same one I had envisioned in my future. It was too much to take, I couldn't even cry. And that was worse because I felt sick; the pain was spreading to every corner of my heart now. I could feel it; my heart was turning a pale red hue. It had given up.
The notion of time was a forgotten one. When did I first love him? Our first kiss? It had seemed like we had always been together that the start didnt matter anymore. Strangely, now it seemed like the only things left : the memories. What a dirty word it was. To reduce our love, our passionate embraces, our sworn promises, our stolen kisses, our tight grasp of each others' hand into one word; memories. The memories now floated between us like a wisp of smoke. The more I tried to keep it all in, the further it drifted away from me. I was getting exhausted trying. How could something so beautiful end up this way?
His eyes didnt leave me. The same loving gaze I had gotten all these while. I stared at him, memorizing every single detail, to keep for all eternity. Those lips... those very same lips that had taught me to kiss. The very ones that whispered forever&always. It was a strange concept, that. forever&always. I would always be his, he would always be mine. We both knew that. Yet separation was impending. And painful.
Finally, he said i love you. His lips didnt move but I could hear him, as clear as a resounding hummingbird's tune. it rang in my head, i flirted with the words for a bit and let it rest. i love you too.
With that said, he turned to leave. One hesitant step, two now. He walked away. It was then that I collapsed to the earth. My chest heaving, my face spread on the floor, one eye kept open. With that one eye, I teared.
Because he never turned back.
