he stares at the calender hanging on the wall, one day left, he thinks. he takes a drag of cigarette, blowing the smoke slowly, enjoying how it floats in front of his eyes before it dissolves into thin air, and then he sips his coffee. his morning starts like this and he spends the rest of day either sleeping or doing something that he won't remember the next day. cycle. sometimes, when he wakes up in the morning, his hand finds the space beside him occupied. he will pretend to be asleep until the visitor wakes up and leaves him. no one stays.

he thinks of the day when someone stayed and he was woken up with a butterfly kiss and he was happy. then, the happiness was quickly replaced by fear and regret because he was with someone else and she was not his to catch. they always came back to each other when they were tired of pretending to have another life. she was his and he was hers and anything else was unthinkable.

"i'm getting married," was the first thing she said when he opened his eyes in the last morning of him seeing her.

he doesn't really remember what happened next other than there were yelling and crying and the sound of the door slammed harshly. he starts smoking and drinking again, but still, he prefers caffeine to alcohol. people come and go, some tell him to stop, some tell him to move on. he will think about the advice as he starts his morning, but ends up cancelling it by the end of day. cycle.

he stares at them from the gate, not wanting to go in. he sees them saying the vow and exchanging a long kiss. he sees her smiling and laughing and he feels betrayed. he leaves.

he wakes up and sees the date and it is the day of her wedding. he decides to spend it by doing his cycle.
