MY MEMORY OF LOVE
Jack Frost
I could smile now since i got my memory back. My little sister's face kept lingering in my head. It is enough to make me enjoy my daily life. Our childhood was really wonderful. The past memories about my family, friends, and other people came flooded my mind. I felt really good! But there is something weird happen to me these days. I felt lonely. Very lonely! It is not that i do not have friends but...i have been alone for hundred years!
The other guardians are really good to me. Sometimes i went to visit Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, Sand Man, and Tooth Fairy. We hang out together, talking till late at night, and feasting altogether. These are wonderful times that i could never forget. We are different and yet we are so similar. We all love those cute kids. We protect them since we are the guardians.
Back to my story, i hardly sleep nowadays. When i close my eyes, i saw an image of a girl. I could not grasp it because it is blurry. I kept thinking about that. I have all of my memories but this one i forgot what it is. Who is that girl? Surely she was not my little sister.
I could get a headache because of this girl. Who is she? I wanted to ask the other guardians but they already had many problems in their hands. I do not want to trouble my friends in any way. So, today i decide to take a walk at the garden. There are not so many people. There are a group of girls that are chattering while walking to school. I looked at them and i saw 'her'. She was looking straight at my direction. That moment i remembered everything.
We were best friends. We grew up together and understand each other but i loved her. That was my deepest secret. I just could not find courage to blurt it out. Not even incidentally. Then one day she introduced me to her boyfriend and i could not react well to the situation. Bit by bit, i built a wall between us even though i missed her so much. She kept chasing me with her tears and questions but i just could not face her. I was a coward.
That girl resembles her a lot. I came again today and i saw her. She was sitting under a shady tree. I was wondering, was she reborn? So, i kept coming here, staring at her, protecting her all the way. Without knowing, it brought smiles to my stone face.

My life is stressful. My parents are always busy with their works. I am lonely because i am the only child. But i have a secret too. I have a special ability to travel through times. A few years ago, i went to the past hundred years ago and i saw this little couple. They are playing by themselves. I was startled because that girl resembles me a lot. Looking them happy together just appease my heart. When they are together, i felt a strange feeling in my heart. They had a sad and tragic ending. The boy died and the girl followed just a few months later because of strange disease.
A few days ago, i felt that strange feeling again. I looked around but i saw nothing. Unfortunately, the feeling did not left. I am sure that i felt 'his' presence somewhere around me but that is impossible. He died hundred years ago! Am i being paranoid? Am i thinking too much? I am here again today, sitting by myself under the shady tree. I felt watched by someone but there is no fear. I could feel the cool breeze engulfed me but inside i felt warm. Somehow i felt protected. I wonder, was he really dead?
