"Luth!"
a distant, longed for voice, I realized it was warm, the Sun was gleaming through my closed lid eyes.
"Luth! Come on, Sayang!"
we were by the beach, you with your skater girl outfit, your bare feet dipped with both the sand and the sea,
you looked so happy, that smile you had, the giggle you let out, your whole body was ecstatic,
"Luth?"
you frowned, your eyes glittered with tears, they were streaming down your face,
"Why did you gave up on us?"
my heart, my entire soul, sank, why are you asking me this, I don't understand,
"We were so close, why did you let us go?"
my mouth struggled to let out the words, my mind spiraled trying to come with an explanation, my heart begging me to explain to you, hoping, praying that you would understand,
"What went wrong? Was I not enough? Or was it you who couldn't be satisfied?"
darkness.
emptiness.
void.
"Luth."
I woke up to a daze, your voice echoed.
I find myself in a bed, our bed. Our room, but it was as though someone took the brightness away and set the mood to dim and eerie.
"Luth."
I followed around the hallways, there are pictures of us, we were happy, happiest.
I try to break free of this white noise in my head, searching for the answer,
the answer, to why we part ways.
the pictures and portraits laughed at me, bellowing, cursing, some of them were crying, some of them looked at me with disgust and despise,
"Luth."
I startled back, you draped with white clothes, at the end of the hallway, just by the door,
your smile, as beautiful as you are, it haunts me at the back of my mind,
"Luth."
you whispered, for me to come closer, but the hallway seemed to be extended, the more steps I made, the further you were,
and I realized, you were already at the end of the tunnel, by the bright light that welcomes you,
and I'm left in the limbo.
