Departure

*WHOOSH*

The breeze of the hot summer kept me awake.

As the light faded in the darkest days, you remained the same.

Under the silhouette of the pure blue sky.

We stood on top of the river bank, where our sheep's, and horses resides.

You spoke of beautiful words, saying "This day will last us an eternity"

I just nonchalantly replied as I smiled right next to you. "Be that as it may, So long as you're here, you'll be my guiding sun"

She giggled as she listens.

*GIGGLE*

"This day will surely be our Greatest day"

The day has ended and beautiful memories of yesterday remained.

Several years later, we found ourselves lost in the woods, filled with greenery with no sign of a designated path.

As I grew confused, she smiled as brightly under the light of the midday sun in the vastness of trees and spoke. "I am your path, do not worry and have faith in me"

My clouded vision were cleared in that instant and I just followed through her guidance.

At the end of the forest, we saw light came shining upon us.

There was now a rode and a wooden carriage as if waiting for our arrival.

The coachman in front of the carriage spoke as if he knows of the future.

"Come young lad and lass, I'll take you to somewhere where you belong"

Hearing his voice I felt uncertain but so long as I have her with me, I'll be there always.

Upon hearing the coachman, she extended her hand as she took a step forward.

"Come, Hop on"

I smiled happily and grabbed her soft and gentle hands.

"Uhm!"

We went inside the carriage together.

As we hop on, the carriage have begun moving.

"HYAAH!"

*NEIGH*

*NEIGH*

*CLOP*

*CLOP*

She just silently sat beside me as she watched the road side filled with trees and animals.

While watching her, I saw her face filled with amazement as if she grew younger.

"Waah... Look at those trees, those deers, those birds"

I just gently smiled and spoke.

"Yes..."

When she heard my answer, she looked back my way and smiled as she pinched my cheeks.

"Are you even listening?"

I just watched her as she pinched my cheeks with her little hands.

"You are my sun"

She answered back.

"And you are my moon"

After we rode for a long period of time, we descended unto the carriage.

There we saw the widest plains we've ever seen.

Her eyes glistened and her expression shows her excitement.

She then grabbed my hand as we run towards the plains, happily laughing as if it were a dream.

"Come! We're finally here!"

Years passed after that moment.

Now we have grew old with our health began to rapidly deteriorate.

As I look at her eyes under the vast starry night, we knew that our story will now end, and another will be born.

She just sat there with me as she leaned on my shoulder.

"Don't you think... We've lived our lives the right way?"

I then in turn answered.

"Yes, do you regret spending your time with me?"

She shook her head and answered.

"No, you're my one and only until this day and until we breathed our last"

As a shooting star appeared, we made our wish at the same time as if we're currently one.

"I wish to spend more time with my beloved"

"I wish to spend more time with my dearest"

A few more years passed as she left me and reunited with dear God.

As I bury her under an oak tree with tears on my face, I kept reliving the memories we spent together.

"Till death do us apart..."

"I'll follow soon my dear"

There I sat beside her grave for months without eating and sleeping.

As Igrownw weaker and weaker, I caressed her tombstone and spoke as I breathed my last under the same starry night.

"Wait for me..."

A single tear dropped at the top of her grave.

*DROP*

They finally got reunited in the embrace of their God.

THE END.
