Hey ya'll! Yeah...um, go to my profile to see the lyrics I used as inspiration! Love to my loyal army of readers!
The night seemed so long. Long and boring. Was it because she no longer had anything to look forward to in the morning? The inky sky above was dotted with stars. Was one of those stars a sign from him? Even if it wasn't, and it probably wasn't, Anita liked to think so. Because those little silver specks in the sky were the only thing that seemed to put her to sleep now. Those little silver specks could keep him alive.
Anita sat on the edge of the roof, watching the sun disappear behind the buildings. Color from the sunset leaked through spaces between apartment buildings, giving them a orange glow. A smile forms across her face, and she turns to her left. Then she remembers. He is gone. He is gone and she is now left to watch the sunset alone. The city seems eerily quiet. It's as if every bit of life in this place left with him. Anita looked down at her hands and gets up from the ledge. Because for some reason, this scene doesn't feel right.
Some people become angry after a loved one dies. Others close up and refuse to say a word. But Anita, Anita just felt hollow. She was neither angry or upset. She was…disappointed. Disappointed that he was taken so quickly. Disappointed that the idea of a "better" life in America hadn't held up to her expectations. Was all that stuff about "freedom" and "equality" just pretty wrapping paper trying to conceal an ugly rock? But she knows that he wouldn't want her to feel this way. He would want her to move on and live for the now, not for the past. But sometimes, one wants to live in the past. Sometimes, one wants to live in the past.
It's been too long. Too long to be dwelling in the past. And when Anita realized this, everything seemed clearer. She realized that everyone comes to the time in their life where they must say good bye. Unfortunately, a small handful of people must say good bye early on. And he was one of them. But at least she knew him for that short while. Because she rather would of known him for a short time than never of meeting him. But even with this epiphany, Anita won't forget him. Because as long as the stars hang above her head, he will still be here.
