He wakes up feeling like he has just survived a war. Every muscle in his body aches. Or maybe this is what they call longing? He had spent the whole night crying, he has probably cried most of the water in his system out because his lips are awfully dry. The night before his life had ended. The night before she had left him. And now he wakes up to the fact that he is alone. Out of the billions of people on this planet, he is just a number...no longer part of a pair. He tries his best to console himself before he cries a few more dry tears. He lifts his head and he spots a mirage. She's lying down on the floor and her hair is a mess and her makeup is smeared all over her face, but this mirage of her still looks as beautiful of his memory of her face the first time he was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of it. He continues staring afraid that if he looks away this surreal image of her will fade away. He whispers "I'm sorry....for everything." and he begins to cry. Her head pops up, awake from her slumber. She spots him staring at her and smiles. She gets up and starts to crawl towards the bed. He can't believe what is happening, that maybe just maybe, this could be real. She reaches the end of the bed and knocks him over and climbs on top of him. She puts her head to his chest and tries to fall asleep, even though it was 2 in the afternoon and they had already slept most of the day away... "I lov..." he beings to say "No words baby...no words." she interupts. And he cannot stop the tears. |
