The still water glistens as the rays of sunshine push their way through the cracks of the roof and shine on top of the fountain. I make my way towards the centre of
the court and the beams of light now too makes the ink black hair at the back of my head glow. While I stare into the reflection formed by the delicate water flowing
I'm only met with a pair of dull eyes gazing back at me, pupils with no colors dreading the life I've led without you next to me. I can't stand it. I can't stand it.
Rage and obsession, they're eating me up alive.
The sanity I lose day by day, I can feel that too.
Although, you can't see that displayed anywhere. The expression I've worn these one hundred years of waiting was nothing but remote. I drop a silver coin in that
fountain, "splash". And then walk away the only thing left behind being the muffled sound of that very coin hitting the bottom where lay dozens more and the clacks of
my heels. Century long patience, driven with my heart filled with hope you'd remind yourself how I can't live with your abandonment and let me back into your
embrace.
You've detached yourself from this world where time froze and the only care on our minds was us, the one thing left residing within here were our friends and their
rumors and assumptions whispered from ear to ear about this tragic fate our love has been met to. Like you, they all disappeared from my life eventually. Not
a trace of their being left here and not an explanation for it either but their words muttered behind my back still ring in my head.
Unfortunately, I don't think I can stay still and patient here anymore, I'm ending this cycle of lonesome waiting now. My life span will meet it's end when I step
into that forest we once roamed as children. There wasn't a day I lived with the least bit of doubt in you and I breath my last breath still hoping I had made the
right choice.
Pitiful, but I'd like to die with peace in mind even if it had meant deluding myself.
