there mike wheeler was, perched on to that porcelain sink of his university dorm, choking out burgundy-stained rose petals, beautiful but tragic, isn't it ?

mike wished this would go away, it would.... 

but that would only happen when it was time for his demise.  

he couldn't just strand elaine and their memories together on an island, away from mike who was very perspicacious on what would happen to him in just a matter of weeks, death. it's just a whispered sigh in life's grand play, where shadows dance and spirits stray.

underneath the boughs, amid serene swans' glide, mike found elaine, his heart's true guide. since that day, love's seed had been sown; through the years, its fervor continued to grow. but it wouldn't be same for elaine would it ?

elaine cherished mike as a friend steadfast and true. yet in matters of love, her heart took a different view.

mike would just be that lanky young boy she met at that ethereal park when she was nine. nothing more..

mike cleaned up after himself, then headed to his room, sinking into his bed, anticipating the next twist in his unpredictable life. he wished his life was better, in his very wanted dreams, where elaine would find comfort in his arms. life is cruel, it's absolutely brutal to know that your last chapter wouldn't be so happy after all. just death. just the end. that's it.

mike slipped into slumber, where promised joy resides, yet within dreams, reality's veil hides their falsified guise.

in his reveries, elaine wasn't the sole figure; dreams encompassed a loving family, a constellation of his mother's care, his older sister's guidance, and the tender presence of a younger sibling. however, a shadow lingered—the absence of his father, lost in the embrace of beer and television, a constant void within their family portrait.

he found solace in books, losing himself within their pages, discovering new realms that enriched his mind. animals held a special place, offering comfort and finding solace in his presence.

excelling in academics came naturally to him; a passion for learning defined his journey. now, at oxford university, the shared path with el makes the experience even more fulfilling. but still, it was a constant reminder his love wasn't his after all, elaine was single {surprisingly} but he never had the courage to take her out, i mean how could he, elaine didn't love him afterall,

for now...........
