Chapter 15: July 2010

Minutes, hours, days, and weeks,
Every time the clock ticked, I couldn’t wait.
I couldn’t wait to say it to you,
But I couldn’t find the guts to face it too.

July 4, 2010, I beeped your phone,
It started with a cold “hello?”
Simple talk and greet,
And finally, the black clouds were back again.

“I want a break up,” my heart pounded.
“Let’s end this, I am tired,” an excuse, that wasn’t true.
It was my heart, who wanted it to happen,
But my mind was in a protest; “Don’t give up.”
“Okay,” that’s all you said,
And that was it, it was the end.

I hanged up, and closed my eyes,
Because I couldn’t face the fact that you were gone.
I let my tears ran down,
It was what I deserved from the stupidity of the heart.

And so, there were no “us” any more
No more plans, no more future together.
We will now facing this world alone,
For we were done with this book.

But it isn’t the end,
There are another chapters to start for each other,
But in a separate story,
for we have separate lives to worry.

Let this rain continue to flow,
Though it makes us feel blue.
The sun will surely shine soon,
And will let us witness the beauty of the colors.
