the birds were chirping around me and i could hear the quiet sounds of the river flowing and the leaves rustling in the wind.
i was sitting on the most romantic bench i had ever seen.
a few branches of a tree were hanging low above it, easily touchable. the evening sun was shining onto my head as i let it fall onto the backrest of the bench and let my eyes fall closed.

within a split second, i could feel you beside me. your arm softly around my shoulder, my head resting on yours. i could breathe your subtle scent and feel the warmth and safety of your body.
i felt so happy and loved around you, just because you were there. i didn't need you to say or do anything, just be. be with me.
i was the happiest person on earth in that second. there was nothing that could take this happiness away from me.

the second i opened my eyes, i noticed the abscence of your warmth and scent. as i lifted my head and looked over, i saw an empty bench beside me. the sun had gone down and the temperature had dropped. i looked up through the branches of the tree and felt a single tear roll down my cheek.
