The shadow I am

I see you walking down the hall, we've walked before. You smiled at everyone but me, yet i feel myself smiling at you. It's like I know everything about you, but you know nothing of me. I remember the day we met. We were walking down these corridors both frantic to reach a place, but then we crashed and I got to know you were new here. So I showed you the school and we walked to class. Afterwards walking home together realising we live close. From that day onward we walked to school and our bond grew

Then months later we went to our favourite cafe. Me ordering my drink as you looked disgusted by my choice. I laughed and we talked for hours. We never got tired of each other and even if we had nothing to say it was never akward. I remember that day I thought how lucky I was to have you with your bright smile, as the light to my shadow. You were the highlight of my day and with every obstacle that came we stood side by side.

These months turned into years and everytime I peered at your beauty I could feel those butterfly's. I knew it was time, time to tell you I loved you. So on that day when we went to the cafe I did it and said the words and to my surprise you said you loved me too. It was like a dream come true. You were mine and I was yours. After three years of friendship we finally completed each other whole. The shadow and the light combined.

Then  with time our love grew but  troubles arised. Your father was getting more argessiv, hitting you and threatening me. Every day I could see the brusis on your skin and I could feel the fear rise that someday I would lose you that someday the monster finally hit you too death. The thought alone shook me to my core. You were my reason to be here and my shining star in the darkest nights.

Soon we took a walk by the river side and I felt like it was time to say goodbye, but why? I turned to look at you and then I saw the dreaded men behind your back swinging a metal pipe ready to hit your head. Tears sprung to my eyes and I pulled you closer to me, to feel your warmth one last time, this is the goodbye.  The warmth of the hug grew *bang* the pipe hit and my heart shattered. I love you were the last words heard.

...
I saw you cry
I saw you laugh
I saw you scared
And I got to see you last, but now when I look at you...

I know she is better with you. She took you to our favourite cafe and you ordered the drink that you couldn't stand, but I loved. She smiled at you and I felt this was the final goodbye. You went home and smiled, finally you didn't cry. So ..  as I began to disappear for good to let you love her in peace. I watched you stare at our photo saying thank you, ...

with these words my soul washed of the world. Goodbye my sunshine. You're safe. Live a good life,
I will be there by your side,
In another life.

Thank you for reading my first story I appreciate it.😁
