Short But Delight

A Day Without You

My coffee is bitter even though I blend it with milk.
Usually, I love black coffee, but it becomes bitter without having a chit-chat with you first.

I let my hair stay wet and rush to class, even though I haven't managed to find the time to buy a dryer.
But it's no longer necessary now because there's no more your nagging about taking care of my hair.

Finally, the day without you has come.
I sigh and try to drag my feet as I walk.

The sound of the bell to announce that class was over interrupted my daydream.
A memory of you kept buzzing in my mind about the night when you returned the ring.

My emotions became sentimental and fragile when worry dominated my mind.
I became afraid that my present would disturb your future.
I am thinking that our relationship is half-assed just because I am overthinking our future later.

Once again, I let my conclusions accept what my overthinking told me, without searching for the truth or asking for your opinion.
My mouth slipped and I said that I need space to take a break.
I mean, I need rest for my overthinking to clear, so I can decide whether to walk towards our future with you.
I am still not fully open with my thoughts, and neither are you.

I was a bit shocked when you simply said, "it's over then", without turning your back and just walking away until your figure slowly disappeared.

I wanted to scream and beg you to come back, but my tears silenced me.
I am alone again, and it doesn't matter like it used to before, but now it's different without you.
