The cold water runs down my body, it's cold enough to make anyone shiver in this weather but I don't feel anything. It's not cold enough to soothe the fire I'm burning in.
I get out and get dressed, I don't bother to dry my hair as I get out of the bathroom. The bed comes into the view and the memory of that kiss is still alive in my mind, when she was with me.
I look away and get out of my room, the torturing silence hits me like a brick the moment I step out. I glance at her room beside me, without thinking much my legs moves on their own as I step inside her room.
It's the same but the evidence of her presence is absent. The bed is made, the dresser is empty which used to be graced by her makeup. There's nothing here that says that she used to be here except one thing.
I walk towards the bed and gently pick Snowfall in my hand. She left it here....did she forget to take it..?
I place it back on her bed and look around, I don't like this room...without her.... I don't like anything without her. My heart isn't at peace, I don't know what's happening to me... why am I so bothered by her absence, isn't that what I wanted?
Her absence in this room is suffocating, I can't bear it. I leave her room and make my way downstairs, it's so quiet. Luna is pacing in the living room, she isn't eating anything and now I know why. I tried to feed her but she is being stubborn, so I stopped because how can I force her to eat when I'm just as bothered like her.
I take out my cigarette, I can smoke in the house now, wasn't that what I wanted? I light it up and start smoking, the smoke leaves my mouth as I try ignore the painful silence.
But it's useless, no matter what I do, every single thing is haunted by her presence. Everything is reminding me of her once being here. These couches, where she would sit and eat her ice cream while watching her movies.
I take a step towards the kitchen, which feels so empty and dark without her, she used to bake in there. I step inside and see that oven, I was filled with rage when that fire started but....all I wish right now is for a fire to start again and burn me alive along with this house that's nothing without her in it.
This house is gray, my life is gray, she was the colour. I lean against the doorway, lighting up my second cigarette and glancing at the counter. A sad smile forms on my face as I remember her talking to Luna. I was standing just where I'm standing now but nothing is the same anymore. I found it so weird that she's talking to a cat but I would do anything to watch that sight again. To hear her voice again, to see her smile again, to hold her in my arms again, to smell her scent again, to kiss her lips again...
And don't even get me started on her room besides mine. She was always besides me. Always. She was so full of love but I was blind to notice her radiance before. That room is a ghost of her presence, a mere ghost that's haunting me.
