The Straight Arrow
Forlorn & Reminiscing Memories
The first time I met her, she was so close to me. We laughed and joked around like there was no tomorrow.
But now?
We never even talked to each other; never laughed together, even glanced at each other. All we did was to imagine neither of us existed in each other’s world.
I felt like a phantom trying to take back the life he left behind.
And now, I just wept while sitting on a chair placed at the corner of my room.
It’s all because of that day when I told her I loved her.
I confidently came to her that morning, looked at her in the eyes and told her everything I kept for six straight months.
We talked for a while, and then she ‘remembered’ that she needed to do something at that minute. She did promise one thing before she left.
She’ll talk to me later.
I looked at her while she was running back to her room. I smiled. But there was this feeling inside of me that it could be the last time we talked to each other.
And it really was the last.
Day and night, I find myself reminiscing on all those all the blissful memories we had with each other, even if it was only for a short time. I felt like I was forlorn and never to be content in life again.
It felt like my dreams have fallen apart, that this curse of mine shall never be lifted forever.
She had left me forlorn on a corner, reminiscing memories of the past.
And the only way for me to live…
Is to move on.
