Death is inevitable. Nobody was born with a knowledge of when life will be taken back so while we are still breathing, let's always strive to be happy.
"𝐎𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐚... 𝐎𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐚 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞, 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐦𝐞? 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧? 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞? 𝐈 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐨 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡"
Tears gushed down my face as I watch him mourn while hugging my urn.
I've been next to him the whole time and I can't even do anything to ease his agony. I wish I could take all his struggle away, all the hindrances that's stopping him from moving, all the burdens he's carrying. I know exactly what he is going through and how empty he is but there's nothing I can do. I am just a ghost --- the author of his suffering
"𝐈'𝐦 𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐬, 𝐈 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐲𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐮𝐬" my voice broke as I utter those words
I will never forget the moments we've spent together. How our embraces gives comfort, how our kisses gives butterflies , and how our smiles brighten up our day --- those were the days when we thought our love was invincible.
It's been two years since I left this world and in those years I witnessed how devastated Lucas was.
The sparkle in his eyes was gone , the brightness of his smile and the warmth of his heart. He was once a canvas painted with lovely colors and my death tainted it with black --- dull and dark
He doesn't deserve all of this but this is how life works. There will be storms and floods that we have to go through and it's up to us whether we decide to get drowned from it or remain resilient until the sun rises again
"𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐮𝐩 𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐬, 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐠𝐨 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐰, 𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞" I whispered
A month later...
He was drinking alone in a bar until an elegant lady came
"𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐞, 𝐚 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐚 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞"
said by the lady to the bartender.
She was wearing a black dress that hugged her body tightly.
"𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐟 𝐈 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮? 𝐈'𝐦 𝐉𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲"she extended her hand but Lucas ignored her. She just shrugged it off.
I won't deny the fact that she is very beautiful and I'm sure, men would line up for her. Lucas doesn't seem to care about her presence but she's so persistent. She's talking nonstop and keep on making silly jokes and for the first time, I caught him laughing.
"𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐞?" the girl exuberantly asked. Lucas then smiled and nodded.
That night interaction didn’t end there. It became frequent and eventually, they developed feelings for each other.
Lucas was the only person I’ve ever loved and in fact, I still do but our story ended long time ago and it didn’t end well. I’m hoping that as their story unfolds, they’ll fill the blank pages with beautiful memories--- a memories that they’ll cherish
We thought that the foundation of our love was so strong that no matter how many storms pass through us, it could not be shaken. Life didn't turn out the way we wanted and no one expected our parting but I have no more regrets.
Now that he's happy in the arms of someone, I have no reason to stay here anymore. I can now go up in there with peace finally.
"𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐦𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝, 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥 𝐰𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧" then the light consumed me.
