Chasing after you
———
Here I am standing under the vast cold sky, my eyes roving about and forever attracted to the far distant horizon where a dim light tenderly brightens her skin.
Oh how I envy... I have always wished for the privilege of touching that ephemeral warmth, of feeling your pulse softness beneath my touch.
The wind through her wind-disheveled hair mirrors the profound storm within of me, a silent whirlpool of agony.
"Please tell me! Why?" I begged with a quivering voice.
I took a step forward, she took 2 steps back.
It hurts...
This is the first time I pleased someone.
A stark reminder of the distance that has grown between us.
She detests me...
This heart-wrenching ache engulfs me. It's relentless grip dissembling me piece by piece, leaving no room for remorse in its wake.
"Please talk to me...p-please" I stammered, a tear escaped. "It's just me, please I know you know who I am."
This is the first time my defenses have been breached with such force.
I was once known as the most impenetrable woman, the very personification of power and strength, an embodiment of safety yet also hailed as the danger itself.
I have been snubbed...
Each glance we exchange, speaks volumes of a love once vibrant and is now lost to the passage of time.
Ignoring the pain in my heart, I approached her and enveloped her in warmth with my pale, slender arms.
She remained silent and unmoved, her stillness conveying that I was never worthy to begin with.
A great relief rushed through me, maybe?
Of all time, why does it have to be now?
"Please talk to me," I pleaded, tightening my embrace around her. "Paano tayo humantong dito? Anong dahilan? Please t-talk to me."
Another tear slipped free.
She really smells nice... oh God, please tell me this is all a dream. Stop mocking me and give me what I deserve. I have been giving my all since the day I woke up from my deep slumber. Please, just please. Just this once—
"Let go"
The first word she spoke made my arms tremble in pain.
Wow.
Two words from her wrecked me this much?
I said, as I felt myself slipping away.
My eyes began to quiver as I struggled to hold back my sobs.
I tried to embrace her once more, but she shove my hands away.
Why...? What did I do to deserve this? Everything I did was meant to make her feel secure.
Even as it continued to pierce my heart, my soul refused to surrender. I clung to it, with all my strength. Yet, this is what I'm receiving?
