Years passed, but still, I could not get over her. I tried dating, but my heart could not beat again. It had been long dead, every since the day she died. She took my heart with her. Every day, I've struggled without her, but, with her memory in my heart; I remained alive by just having her love as mine to hold on to.
I visited the place where Kate and I used to watch together. The lake still looked the same, couples still hung around there for their little walks and personal talks.
I saw a girl on the lake holding her sandals and feeling the water on her feet. I thought it was Kate that I saw. I ran nearer to the water, but then I saw this guy approaching her and he held her.
I was hallucinating, again. I always see her face everywhere; I think I am going insane. So I walked away and went back home to bid goodbye to my family.
"you alright son?"
mom asked with concerned look. I know she can still see that I am hurting inside. I am her son after all.
"of course mom, don't worry 'bout me, I am a man now"
I assured her and she somewhat smile to what I have told her.
"It seems that there's no stopping you from leaving"
"Nah! don't worry mom I will give a call from time to time"
Then I hugged her and she did the same.
I'm going back to the City, fall is over now. It is time to face another season, another life, and another year, without her.
