The Wonders In Our Head

.The Living And The Dead.

.The Living And The Dead.

You stood in front of the old library feeling extremely burnt out. Not from the cold surrounding you but from the one within you. You stepped in, wincing as a strong gush of wind glided along your face as if caressing your face, and faced the dusty crusty shelves and tables filled with books long forgotten.

Taking out one book randomly you skimmed through it, not knowing where your mind wants you to go. You felt stares but no one was behind you or anywhere in here. It was gloomy and the thought of ghosts living there might have crossed your mind more than once but you overlooked it, just like the pain surging through your heart of things unknown and things very well known.

Soon tears welled up in your eyes and fell down on the book you were holding and just like that, you broke down.
All your walls broke down and all the pain resurfaced with a force greater than it ever consumed and it hurt you, just so much.

A tap on the shoulder, and the next moment you were in someone's embrace. It was as if at that moment, all your fears were nonexistent and you were brave enough to let your vulnerable side be exposed freely. Be it someone whose heart doesn't beat anymore, or someone who isn't alive anymore.
You looked up as the one who hugged you wiped off your tears and smiled at you.
His face was unrecognizable, with scars and bruises accompanied by really pale skin with a smile that made you feel things you once were just so afraid to feel and you couldn't help but smile back.
You touched his cheek in curiosity, which was covered in really old scars, "Did you come here to save me or to save another person just for them to die as you did? In pain and hopes of something that would never happen? "

 
He looked at you and closed the little distance between you, " I came here because I finally have it in me to tell you that I really love you. " He says and you chuckled In return.
"I thought it'll take you another death to confess back."

And just like that, the broken girl was healed by the person whose absence had ruined her so much and this time not even death could separate the true love between the living and the dead.
