Prologue

It never appeared to me that one can so easily lose everything they have. Until I lost the one person that mattered the most.

Last time I saw him, he was boarding that crappy squeaky carriage - with his usual grace. He looked over his shoulder for the last time and nodded at Ominis, who nodded back. A parting filled with memories of recent events, but full of respect nonetheless. He turned his attention my way and his gaze intertwined with mine. His eyes filled with determination and hope, but also warmth and tenderness - filling my stomach with flutters, like so many times before.

I didn't want him to go. After everything we've been through - after everything, that was said and done. However I knew he needed to - for his own peace.

And just like that, he vanished.. like a dream in the morning. Like a morning dew as sunshine falls upon it.

He was such a dream for me. He was my morning dew.

Suddenly I found myself wondering if the dream was ever a reality. Or was it just a dream all along?

And as the dream vanished - nightmares came. Keeping me awake at nights, sleepy during days. I was left in a haze, time around me spinning at a weird pace.

No word, no message... nothing.

I found solitude in the pain me and Ominis shared. We found friendship over the thing we both lost and missed the most. I even thought - I finally found peace in myself, I thought I was strong enough to let go. To turn the chapter.

But as they say - man proposes, God disposes. And so it seemed that the boy with hazel eyes was destined to cross paths with me once more.

Would we be able to walk the same path side by side again? That.. was something I certainly wasn't sure about.
