"When the sun shine we shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath Imma stick it upto the end"Walking the night alone as the streetlights shined at her tears she sung the song alone (umbrella), which they always used to sing together. Memories flashed by as if it all happened just yesterday. Holding in her hands the picture they took together she wiped off her tears on it. She remembered zoey's gibberish curses
-flashback-
It was zoey's 21st birthday and she had plans with saira to go for drinks but unfortunately or maybe fortunately bars and clubs were all closed and they ended up drinking in their terrace"Fuck you bish
Hey you idiot Lil piece of shit- Saira was alarmed by the way Zoey threw curses and interrupted her"Bro, calm down! Who are you even speaking to?" She asked and there came a cry
"To t-to the one who wrote my fucking fate
That little brat..." she somehow managed to speak in between her sobs and it was pretty clear that Zoey was nowhere near sober. She was all drunk and messed up."Even the bars are all closed and my non existent friends don't even know that it's my birthday today" she said as she was struggling to stand straight due to the effect of alcohol.
"We'll kick his or her ass up and live the best life we desire starting from tonight which is your birthday! Alright? Saira also joined in her drama. She threw her hands in the air as if hitting an imaginary person to which Zoey responded with a flying kick in the air.
There was a silence for a while with just sounds of Zoey gulping up alcohol as if it were water or some kind of a soda. She then burst out crying.
"Noone cares for me even though its my fucking birthday but you- hiccup
You are the best Saira
Been with me through ups and downs" she said hugging Saira as she teared up"I'll always be right here because...
Because I love you" she managed to say it after all"Aww I love you too sissy..." Zoey practically squeezed Saira but she didn't mind one bit. Zoey fell asleep feeling safe in Saira's embrace.
Saira chuckled and said to herself "sissy"
Silent tears of her untold love drowned Saira.Sometimes I wish, only if you'd actually meant it.
-END-
Saira... someone whose love was neither known nor told. She treasured the letter that Zoey dropped that day right in coco's desk.
'Atleast she'll get her share of happiness' was the only thing she cared about. Maybe it'll take years to get over you or maybe all those years will still lose against my love for you. Loving someone is not your fault and it's not like she had a choice. She knew she wasn't the one and she could never be but feelings don't change that quick, do they? The day she was proposed she was confused and thought maybe she'd get over her with this but no. After all life has it's own plans. Saira's love for Zoey didn't have any expectations although she was disappointed. As much as she tried to control she couldn't, tears bursted out and who knows for how long they have been suppressed under those heavy eyelids. She let them. She let them go free. After all her love was only expressed through tears and nothing else.No regrets were left...
Even if I had a chance I'd do it all the same,
For all those memories with you remains safe within my breath
