Memories
Memories, float around your mind surfacing only at certain times in your life. Their cool breezes wrap themselves around the labyrinth of your mind. It was a dark and stormy night when this one ensnared itself in my mind. Tears flowed down my pearly white cheeks as I remembered as I remembered that time so long ago when my heart was broken.
I stood their watching him walk away. "My love" I whispered "why do you leave me?" he turned "I have told you Risika" he whispered, my pearly cheeks are tearstained as they were so far in the future. "You know my heart lies with another". "But Aubrey" I whispered it was too late his back was turned and the howling wind muted my soft words. "I love you," I whispered to his turned back, and then I ran to catch him. As I caught him he turned and kissed me for the last time. Then he walked away. As he walked his back turned to me the pain I felt was great. It was as though my heart had been ripped from my chest and torn apart in front of me. Ever since then that is all have felt every time my heart beats since that day.
I have cried everyday since then. Cupid has never again bothered me with his arrow. Often have I felt no reason to live, what's the point of life without love?
One day I took the beautifully crafted stone blade Aubrey had given to me so long ago, and I went deep into the forest. Unannounced to me Fala, my best friend, had followed me. As I was about to draw the blade across my wrist she grabbed my arm. "Don't," she said. "Why not?" I asked angry with her for stopping me. "Because" she choked "because I could not live without you" she started sobbing. My hand trembled and I lost my grip of the blade, and it fell to the forest floor lost forever like my dearest Aubrey.
The memory ended there. I have many more memories to share, if I had the time. But my time upon this dying planet is ending. Maybe now I can be at peace with my darling Aubrey.
