« You’re just part of a game and I’m part of a reality. This is a Goodbye »

Such a brutal yet pragmatic statement that cannot be forgotten.

How did we arrive to such a stage of fate ?….

—————

She looked at me with endearing eyes and a questionable demeanor.

“What is it about me that you love so much ?”

Her voice sounded low like the waving of the sea. If it was describable, I would compare it to honey that hasn’t been savoured yet enticing to the sight.

At that time, i couldn’t help it. My heart was flying in other enigmatic dimensions. I had to gaze away to avoid exceeding the line that she’d set between her and me. How unsettling

“….”

I couldn’t answer, it felt like opening my mouth to say something would amount to me commiting a sinful act against love nature. If there was something such as a pendulum that keeps ticking louder and louder then that would be myself.

«Answer me, I want answers. Not silence”

Yes, she has bought me back to earth before my soul reached cloud nine. I am grateful but ungrateful at the same. It would have just been the best for the both of us if I were to loose consciousness on the spot. Does the kind of feeling actually exist ?

«Look away then»

Out of all answers I could possibly come up with, this was my top pick when I was in such a vulnerable state.

In my surprise, she looks away and —I took advantage of that.

I slide my hand on her cheek and lean towards her ear whispering slowly.

“I can’t really give you a reason. All I can say is that I’m drawn to your soul”

Have I become a poet ? I never knew that love could bring out something that I never knew was in me.

Her cheek was slighty burning, her lips were lightly trembling, her eyes in confusion looking at my direction.

Hmm—I want to see that expression again, again and again. Using the word “adorable” would be such an understatement of the memory my mind is currently capturing.

I place a gentle yet passionate kiss on her ear knowing that this might challenge that boundary. I’ve definitely lost it——-

«I want you to be mine, there is no point hiding it anymore. Don’t you agree ?»

I was the one who couldn’t utter any word a few seconds again. It’s now her turn. Role swap but with a sweet twist.

The setting was there at the right frequency and at the right time. The sun was illuminating both of our faces. The sand was warm at our feet and the sea…she was humming wonders in our senses. The cherry at the top was her mere presence leaving kisses to my soul.

I lean in the more but towards her face this time. Should I go for a kiss on her cheek now ?—

«U-uh»

She place her hand on my mouth and her face seems to have travelled from the realm of a beach of peaches to an island of apple trees.

I chuckle almost on the verge of laughing a melody of pure happiness. She also couldn’t resist the temptation and an unwanted smile merged at the side of her lips.

«Don’t you know what this means ?..» she mutters with glitters on her eyes

"I know what it means~”

I respond with a warm smile on my face even the wind responded to such expression. The expression of a man who could die of happiness.

——————

The “me” of that time would have never thought that our destiny would part away like that.

“Don’t leave …please…Ruby—-don’t do this me …”

When was the last time my heart bumped this tremendously ? Breathing has become hard and standing almost impossible.

The image that was set before me was like a stoic paper performing the unnatural such as being teared apart with no force exerting on it. Her whole body was disappearing in flakes of a yellowish shine and she offered me her most sincere smile yet full of sorrow and melancholy. Her tears themselves displayed a sense of grief that couldn’t be consolated.

The setting was the same but what changed exactly ? It looks desolate and out of his natural order of contentment—-

She was half, just her other half was left and i couldn’t do anything to exert dominion over the situation. I am helpless——she was helpless too but why was she looking at me at though this situation was the best answer for our circumstances ?——Circumstances you say ? Do I actually exist ?

“I’ll miss you Raphael….”

These were her last words.

You might be wondering what I was feeling at that time….I have no idea—-and I would never want to know.

—-END—
