Memory 1: Painful Past
My surroundings are all hazy, as if enshrouded in a never-ending mist. Beyond the window, I can see the sky, covered in a single grey-white tone due to the stormy weather. It's hard to believe that I won't be seeing him again. But can you blame him after what I did to him? As I turn to see the time on my watch, I struggle to read it with the dim light that emits from the sky. All I can hear is the constant sound of the rain impacting on everything that seems to be outside, accompanied by the low rumble of thunder or lightning every so often. Slowly, I drag myself to my feet, choose the first set of clothes I can find and head outside.
As expected, the streets are empty. Nobody was in sight. Carelessly walking through the puddles, my long coat becomes drenched at the tips. Along the path of my destination, I can see that the shops are still filled with a cheery atmosphere, something that I am without. Every house I pass by is obviously glowing with content and happiness, but I find it hard to believe it anymore.
Finally, I arrive at the house that belonged to the person that left my life. He loved me dearly, but I rejected him. I didn't know why but I always seemed to misunderstand him; still, he continued to love me regardless, even to the point of tears. It was ignorant of me to misinterpret his feelings towards me. Now, I realise he only wanted to express it in a way that we would both understand. He seemed so sad; the pain in his eyes was undeniable, as if he had lost all hopes of his dreams. His smile wasn't warm anymore; instead it had disappeared, lost in the depths of his soul, if it even still existed. It was my fault. I shattered his heart with my ice-cold demeanor. I pushed him away. Even though I understand now, I wonder, am I too late? This house has been empty for so long, it feels like an eternity.
But my heart desires nothing but to bring him back.
Surely, I will see him again, even thought we have shared a painful past. There's still hope for the future…
