Apartment we won’t share is for people who letting someone go for the sake of each other. To let those burden away and feel the love again someday. Their love is merely a word means nothing, love that passes by on summer air. As the time goes by, she’ll moved on, and he’ll find his own too.

Wind blew up your hair as we slow dances to a classic romance songs on cafe somewhere in the town. Lost to a melodies, getting ready for the best part and syncing our beating heart to the tempo. Everything was just fine, retro light shining, lit a shadow to silhouette. He’s a gentleman and I’m just a girl.

It was 378 days, 7 hours since the last time I saw you, we were having last meal. Last goodbye.

I was a girl with so much fear of losing someone, and you’re a boy who took so much responsible on everything where losing someone is a cost.

We were both young, lively, and loving. So, why does it hurt?

I guess because we’re adults now.

Busy street, busy day, busy life and I’m busy with my own thoughts. Window rolled down, the wind blew in but still couldn’t break the tension between me and you. It’s funny and bothered me how silence this car but loud at the same time. Songs on the player were never my favorite, it’s yours. We take a long way home, your other hand now sat awkwardly on the steering wheel when it was always mine to holds.

The silence gets too loud. The wounds, the kiss, the sounds of saying i love you, the pain is still there — somewhere deep in my bones and let it buried. No argues, just staring to each other’s soul with amount of hopes though we both know almost is never enough to bear up. And he fades away with time in a blink of an eye.

I hope you shortly find what you long for.

Everything seems blur, I felt the burnt on my eyes the second after I took the first step way to home. The cry itself almost soundless, no matter how firmly rain drops suffocated and torn me to pieces. Even on my very last page, while the quiet of life, all I ever did is watching you from the coldest place on earth.

“Was the dog we won’t raise still waits for us? Was the apartment we won’t share still warm and bright? Was the love us to share forever now drown and died?”

It took a minute for us to understand. We always knew it.

Two years and some change, Isn’t it strange?

I go by new name.

We both grew up leading to a different path of life, though I used to walk alongside with him for these past years. We never really learned a thing and those almost was all we ever had. You should have with me through the ups and downs, until we turned to dust and ashes.

Your heart is truly deserved to be held in highest regards with the most warm, gentle and tender hands not a cracked, broken one i have thorns.

The story we won’t tell,

Is my greatest fantasy.

This story of ours comes to an end. I still wonder what a sad wive lives there. I’ll moved on as I tried to erase the things we should have done but never did.

Love is precious, thin, and fragile. All you have to do is hold onto it and be brave. Our love was thin and fragile, and I wish we both knew it earlier.
