Growing Pain
The minutes are going too fast today.
And he's dreading the pace.
He doesn't want to return because she's no longer there. She won't be waiting.
To think she asked him to go on this trip. It hurts how easily it became so meaningless.
Now he's sitting alone.
He's sitting alone, contemplating his ideas of tomorrow as he watches the waves chase each other one by one.
Tomorrow, will she have already forgotten everything?
It started with a greeting.
She said she wanted a friend.
And he was always there when he found himself thinking of her.
This love, he didn't need it. But when he realized it, she had already knocked down the wall that he'd placed between them.
These feelings came unexpectedly and now he sits alone with a growing pain.
If I'd known that the end would come so fast, I would have said so much more.
Why did these feelings come to him?
He didn't go out looking for them.
Why is he alone with this pain?
Because she left him to go to someone else.
Maybe he'll be like this for awhile.
Okinawa.
I was happy you invited me.
See you. Idiot.
