Damn Too Late

***Kindly play the music in the side before you proceed reading this. Thanks 

As I walk forward

and got nearer,nearer 

To your side

"SANDRO" I heard your mom said 

She hugged me and caress my back 

I think  I can't control my feeling anymore 

My eyes started to water and my knees started to wobble 

"I know you can do it,son. She doesn't want  to see any of us crying. Coz' she's a very lovely girl. Now, Go and make her proud."

It's her first death anniversary and they all want me to talk to her at the same time share to them our story 

I calmed myself and breath 

"Here we go.... Kath here's my message for you  

Hey!

How are you there? 

You know I miss you so much 

But I don't have the courage to tell you this 

From the very first time I saw you I thought that you're not the one 

I said things like you're too fat, too nerdy, too frank and too loud  

But as the day passed by and I get to know you more through you're friends 

I figured out that I'm wrong and I realized I want to get to know you more 

One day, I finally have my guts to talk to you but sadly this guts are not enough to kill the nervousness inside my heart 

I fail every time I try to approach you 

Instead of impressing myself  in front of you 

I always end up doing the opposite and be a laughing for you

Luckily, one stormy day I saw you waiting at the bus station but you don't have umbrella 

So I offered you my umbrella and gladly you accepted 

I was the happiest man that day 

I like to shout to the world that I finally made it

I thought that was the start of my journey with her 

That was just all a thought 

After a month of undeniably excepting of you noticing me 

You approached me to return my umbrella 

And you said that you will return the favor by treating me

I gladly obliged that's the start of the 

Unending laughters and unforgettable memories 

As the years passed by I can't contain my feelings 

I decide to finally let out this feelings and Stop keeping this 

I'm willing to sacrifice our friendship  for this love 

I called you and invite you for dinner 

And as usual you obliged 

I organized everything the place,flowers and the table.

Cooked the food and prepare the things I need 

At 9'o'clock which is the usual time of your arrival 

You're still not here 

I decided to wait more I'm thinking of the reasons why are you late

 When finally you arrived 

I didn't think of other things I said to you the word 

I'm wanting to say for 3 years 

"I love you" 

And suprisingly you said the same 

When suddenly I felt my phone vibrating   

I excused myself 

It was a call from your mom

I was confused why is she calling me?

But I'm beyond surprised actually shaken of what she said 

She said you met an accident when you're on the way 

She also said that the moment they brought you to the hospital you're already dead

"B-bu-t" I can't even stutter the right words 

I hanged up the call without even saying Goodbye 

I went to our table only to find you gone and now on your way to the door

Blowing me a kiss and waving me "goodbye" while crying and smiling

I don't know how you did that but I found myself waving too 

I immediately went to the hospital where you're mom told me

I found you're cold corpse 

I can't even cry 

I can't stand 

I can't talk

I'm numb 

In your burial I saw you lying beautifully in that casket 

I figured out I wasted so much time 

And when I decided to take our relationship to next level 

And say " I love you" 

You're now dead 

And I'm too late 

DAMN TOO LATE ! "

A tear fell down 

And I felt a cold breeze as if it's hugging me and comforting me 

***The End***
