Everything is hopeless. That's what I told myself after Ven died. I can't live without him. So I dreamt I went to the top of the clock tower in hopes of cheering myself up with the beautiful view.
Instead I found a strange looking man with long brown hair, sitting on the edge.
"Um…" I started.
The man turned to me. "Who're you?" he asked bluntly.
"I-I'm Aqua, h-how about y-you."
"Terra, what's wrong?" he asked, now full of concern.
"Do you expect me to sit here and pour my aching heart out to a complete stranger?"
"Come on, I know you're hurting inside."
I sighed a sat down next to him, and cried my eyes out. He patted my back comfortingly.
"I-it's just t-that my b-boyfriend, Ven, just passed away, and I don't know if I can live without him."
"Aqua, I know you're hurting, but what would Ven want you to do?" he questioned cautiously, though I was not angered.
"H-he would want me to keep on living."
"I think so. If it feels any better, you can come see me anytime."
Even though this was a dream, I somehow thought this was real.
"Thank you Terra. You're right. I shouldn't wallow in my sorrows for the rest of my life. I should be thankful for all of the good times me and Ven have had together. I should keep living."
"Aqua."
"Yes Terra?"
"Wake up."
"Huh?"
"Wake up. Wake up! WAKE UP!"
My eyes shot open, and I discovered that it was my alarm to go to work. I haven't gone in two weeks, but today, I feel I have the strength to move on.
So I got up, took a shower, got dressed, and went to work. Then, on my way home, I went to the mall o grab a bite to eat. There I miraculously saw my savior.
I ran up to him. At first, he looked confused, and then he smiled warmly at me. "I guess I've rekindled your spirit, eh?"
