In The Waves

prolouge

The clouds have formed and I guess it will rain eventually. I was holding back my tears from falling down. Since we arrived here I can feel the heaviness in my chest, but the beautiful sea never fails to calm me. Her right hand's intertwined with mine while she's resting her head on my shoulder. I wanna ask her if we can stay like this 'til the end of the day, but I know even if we do, she'll still go tomorrow. 

"Dawn..." Lucy's soft voice calls. From the sea, I drifted my gaze and looked into her cat-like eyes.

God, thank you for creating this girl.

"Hmm?" no one wants to break the stare. As the silence occupied the moment, I diverted my gaze, because I felt my eyes began to water.

"I'm sorry...I need to go but you--" I cut her off.

"People come and go. I know that well Lucy." I put on a small smile and face her again. It was a bad decision because now, I can see my lover's eyes showing the pain she's been hiding.

"It's not like I don't want to stay. I want to be always with you, but this time I can't. Please try to understand." her pleading eyes make it harder for me. She held my hand tighter. I let myself stare into her pretty face. Trying to memorize each feature. 

I will miss this moment...when she's close. 

"I'm trying Lucy. It's okay with me..." she pulled herself away and looked at me like she couldn't understand what I'm saying. 

"What? Do you want me to beg? Lucy we both know that even if I try you'll still go." She's about to say something but she stops herself and picks her things instead. I tried to reach for her hand but she shuts me off from doing it with her glare. Does she hate me now?

"Then let's end this here." she starts to walk away.

Those words...it's like a dagger that stabs me. I want to stop her but I can't move. It feels like I've lost all the energy I have. What I can do now is to watch her back. Her long hair that I love to brush was swayed by the wind.

I get my phone to text her…

She stopped.

I ran to her.

Please don't go.

When I reached her, I hugged her from the back.

"They say, nothing is the only thing that lasts forever... we're nothing now. Can you stay? Can we just stay like this babe?" I can now feel her body's shaking. I tighten up my hug when her trembling hands try to remove my arms. We're both crying under the rain. At this moment I have something in my mind, we're both the 'right person in the wrong time' of each other.

"We can...at the right time. Dawn, please wait for me." she succeeds in removing my arms this time. She turned and kissed me. It was fast but it gave me assurance. Before she left, she smiled brightly like the moon in the night.

"I love you..."

When will be our right time Lucy?
