One.
The time on the clock. It’s one in the morning and I’m sitting on my bed in my room, casually staring up at the ceiling. It’s dark. I miss him. Do you ever wish that you could just sink into the night? Just sink so deep that the darkness swallows you whole?
A sense of nothingness envelops my brain. I don’t want to feel, I don’t want to see. I just want to feel numb. How can you let go of someone who left you so abruptly? It’s been over 2 years....
Everyone says that time heals. But how does one measure that exact amount of time? We can measure time by the ticking of a clock. But is that accurate? No two clocks tick at exactly the same time. Maybe that’s how humans are too. A few minutes in one’s mind could feel like days in another’s. That’s how I feel. The more I think, the slower time feels. You could think a thousand thoughts and only a minute could pass by. I want those thoughts to stop. I want to go back to reality, and normality.
But I can't. There are some things you can't forget, no matter how much you want to. No one understands that. "Anna just needs time." That's all I hear them say. I want to scream everytime I hear someone say that.
As I look at the time at on my phone, I realize that it's almost 3 in the morning. Shit. I have to be awake in 3 hours to get ready for school. As I mentally prepare myself to go to sleep, I get a strange feeling. A feeling that things are about to drastically change. The only thing I'm uncertain of is whether this change will be for the better, or something that could be extremely dangerous....
