Eternal Sun
Dark. I never knew that darkness could be so powerful. I felt so scared whenever either darkness or coldness embraced me. Every night, I had to cuddle into a ball in order to keep myself warm. If only I could reach it.
Light. So soothing, so warm. I really loved it whenever the sun shines its rays on me generously. I love the sun. I felt so happy and excited whenever its rays touched me, but whom could I share this happiness with? No friends, no family, nobody was with me. I was alone. If only I could reach it. if only I could reach the sun.
What had I done wrong? Why should I be locked in this cave? I had been locked here for so long that I had no idea for how long I had stayed here. alone. Is it that I am destined to be locked here for my entire life? I had been here for so long without anything, why am I still alive? Can't I die? Am I really destined to live just to suffer all this, alone?
The sun. I wish I could touch it with my own hands. Do I have freedom? Being locked here all alone. I am suffering from loneliness. aren't I? If this is a deep underground, I would not wish for the sun. If this is a deep underground, I would not want to know how freedom and loneliness felt.
Another day passed and another one came. Then it will just be gone and replaced by another one. I am so lonely and feeling so sad. It hurts me more because I could not cry out loud but only cry alone in my own broken pieces of heart. Wait, I saw a figure coming near me. What is it?
Colour of the sun. it has the colour of the sun. It came to me, to my shoulder and chirped happily beside my ear. I stretched out my arms slowly so as not to scare the little creature. I held it in my hands and felt so happy as it did not leave me alone and fly away with its other companions. From that day onwards, I had a friend, at last.
It was so cute, with feathers of the sun. It could fly under the sun that I had always wanted to touch. I really envied it, but I did not feel jealous of it. Why? Is this called friendship? Did I deserve to have a friend? I didn't have an answer, but I just hoped that it could always stay with me.
However, dreams could never last long. Dreams are more fragile than glass, but then why are we destined to dream? Dusk always brings misfortune. The sunset that day was even redder than the other days', because the sky had been painted by my small friend's soul and blood. It was there. lying unmoved, right in front of my cage.
Almost. I almost reached it, but my hands were still an inch before its dying body. If only I just touch it just one more time, one last time. but I could not reach it. I could not do anything but cry and shout on top of my lungs. I felt so sad and hurt, why should it die? Did it do anything wrong? Or is it that it was just destined to die, just like me, who is destined to be locked here for my entire life? I was alone again.
"Hey, is it you who kept on calling my name?" I held up my head to see who the speaker was. It was a young man with amethyst eyes and flaxen hair, just like the sun. The look on his face told me that he was in a foul mood. His mauve eyes contained a cold look, but I did not care about it. I kept staring at him, he looked just like the sun that I had always wanted and envied.
He held out his hands, and took me out of the cage, the cage filled with darkness and coldness. He freed and saved me. He gave me a world much brighter than the shining sun. Whenever he is not by my side, I feel forlorn and darkness surrounds me. Though sometimes he acts like he does not care about me, he will always be my sun, my eternal sun.
