The Only One
By Darks Light
…Kai's POV…
It's that time of the year again, that day of the year to be exact, February 14th; Valentines Day. I walk along the street, they're advertising it in the shops, they were advertising it on the TV as well this morning and many of the mornings leading up to this day. I hate it. Everywhere I turn there are couples, lovers, it makes me think of you and I hate it because I'm the only one here it seems wondering this cursed place alone. Everyone has someone besides me.
I walk onto the path that leads through the park and head towards the lake; I had heard your convocation about maybe coming here. Why did I get up this morning? I have no idea, maybe it would have been best if I stayed in bed, stayed in doors at least. However, that's just not me; I don't sleep in. I walk past lovers throughout the park and it only makes me feel worse untilI come to a space away from it all, under a tree along the bank of the lake.
I sit in the shade watching the water sparkle in the sunlight, the weathers good; pity maybe if it rained I wouldn't feel so shit. I sigh leaning back against the trunk of the tree, I don't know what's gotten into me… usually I wouldn't care less spending time alone, though maybe because it's Valentines Day and I seem to be the only one who doesn't have someone. I look out onto the lake, even the ducks and other birds are mocking me; they all have someone.
I used to have someone, I thought I had someone. I thought I had you but I guess I was wrong. I let you slip through my fingers like the breeze through the trees with out even putting up a proper fight. It's agitating, because now I realise that the signs were there; I was just in denial. I was convinced you were mine and would be mine forever… but nothing lasts forever. You told me that, but that was so long ago…
And now I'm back to how I was before we came to be only my pain is far worse as you've already moved on and I haven't. Half a week hadn't even passed before I saw you in the arms of another and so it began to sink in. I had blown my chance; you were never coming back. You would never be mine again and I shall be nothing but a distant memory to you.
I hear laughter and turn my head slightly towards the nearest bench to my little get away place. I stare sadly as I notice that it's you and him who are laughing happily in the comfort of each others arms, your raven hair blowing in the breeze mixing with his gold hair. I watch you smile at him as he says something that makes you blush, your eyes are bright and full of liveliness, warmth and light… light… it's your light, your warmth which attracts others two you; you both have it. Me on the other hand, I am darkness, I keep others at bay; I am my own destruction…
But at least your happy now, or at least you look happy from the short glimpses I've managed to witness. And even though I still miss you I'm glad that someone I care for can enjoy this day, even if it's with him instead of me, maybe I'll be lucky and find someone… someone just for me… I could laugh… who am I kidding. I look back out over the lake… Valentines Day, a day of lovers and happiness yet I'm the only one not rejoicing, because I'm the only one alone. So I'm bitter, I'm allowed to be… but I'll get over it, so long as you're happy and keep smiling.
