____________________________________________________________________________
We were always talking about the future, me and her.
Always ever-loving. Staring into her eyes like they were endless swirling pools of love.
I’ve always loved everything about her. Right from the way she did her hair, to those bright and cheery dresses she used to wear. Everything about her was just so perfect, you know? That ever smiling face that she used to greet me with every time we used to meet up. Those warm hugs I used to get when I was feeling under the weather. That familiar perfume gently wafting towards me, announcing her presence ever so gently. Her chatty demeanor never failed to amuse me. We could talk about anything under the sun! Sigh. She would always tell me to cheer up, even though I knew there were so many things that weighed heavily on her mind. I really appreciated her for being herself. I really did.
“Will you always be there to love me, to catch me when I fall, a shoulder to cry on when I need it?” she asked me one day while laying her head on my shoulders while we were just enjoying the cool Sunday morning breeze on the beach we so much loved.
“Of course I will dear”, was what I said as I gently gave her a kiss on her forehead. “Of course I will”. She closed her eyes and smiled. I pulled her closer to me and smiled, to no one in particular, just happy to be with her at that particular moment of time with not a care in the world. Not a care in the world.
Sure, things didn’t always go as how we’d want them to be, but whoever said life was perfect? We’d get into silly arguments, but then we’d make sure we’d make up in the end. We were just too mature to just let our relationship go to waste.
But good things were never meant to last. They never were.
We’ve just had a fight over the phone. A particularly big one at that. She was just so confused. So confused at thoughts that were running through her head. So angry and annoyed with herself for thinking such things ever possible. She cried, and cried all evening. Among the chaos, I asked god for the strength to overcome this.
“I promised her. I really did”. I held back those tears. I will be the strong one. I HAVE to be the strong one. I promised!
I really wanted to cry. The tears welling up within. I just wanted to scream my lungs out.
But I didn’t. I couldn’t. I wouldn’t! Not in front of such a sweet angel as her. I had to be the strong one.
Time stood still.
A day later, she made her decision. Life never felt so cruel. It was the feeling of 1001 swords impaling my already raw, bloody heart that I was wearing on my sleeve. I never stood a chance against him. He still held her heart within her grasp. Even though he caused her so much pain and torment in the past, she somehow held on to the tiniest shred of goodness that she thought he had.
“I still love you. I really do”, she said softly, in between her soft, intermittent sobs. “but I really believe he’s changed. What we had was..different. I just can’t leave him like that”.
“Then what about me? What about US? Was what we had really that easy to discard? Are you even human?!”, I screamed into the phone with all my might, tears already welling in my eyes. I just didn’t care anymore!
“I..I..I’m..sorry”, she softly stuttered in between her increasing sobs.
Click.
The phone line went dead.
I can’t take this hands down. I will NEVER take this hands down. I love her and she loves me. She is just confused. So confused. With no one to be there by her side. I promised her. I PROMISED!
A tear silently rolled down my cheek.
“Dammit!” I wiped the tear with my sleeve.
I’ll always be there by her side. Always. I’ll never let that bastard hurt her again.
“The number you have just dialed in currently not available..” the ominous-sounding machine said.
It was worth a try, I guess.
I took my wallet, and swiftly left the house. “I’m just going to be gone for a while mum!” I shouted as I passed her by in the kitchen.
“Be back in time for dinner later okay?” she said.
“Yes mum!” I shouted back as I shut the gate.
I ran down the stairs as fast as my legs could carry me. Adrenaline sped through my system as I mindlessly ran. Across pathways, fields, playgrounds, roads. Anything just to be by her side again. Anything. I will never leave my love alone. Never.
I love her too much to..
*fades to black*

I never got the chance to complete my thoughts.
I never got there to tell her my true feelings.
I’m sorry I can’t keep my promise dear.
I’m so very sorry…

“Darling Darling. ironna kakudo kara kimi wo mitekita
sono dore mo ga subarashikute boku ha ai wo omoishirun da”
Darling Darling, from various different angles I’ve seen you,
So magnificent, you’ve made me realize what love is..
////////////////////
You’ve made me realize so much, my dear. All of the happiness you’ve given me. All of the memories you’ve left me with. You were all worth it. Irregardless of what had happened to me, I want you to carry on. Forget me, but remember the times we’ve had.
Forget me, but remember the good times we’ve had.

“I’m so sorry. So sorry..”, she cried. “Don’t leave me! You’re still alive. ANSWER ME dammit! ANSWER ME!!”.
She broke down. The tears flowed with no resistance. She sobbed uncontrollably. Her legs gave way and she just lay crumpled on the floor, her hands covering her face, her knees bruised.
But she doesn’t care.
She never knows if she ever will.

Enless swirling pools of love…
