In Between [Vrene]

Damn Strawberry Kisses

Sounds from the forest isn't new to me. Visiting my grandma's place is still the best thing to do. These cold air, silent surroundings and trees around are the things that I missed the most. They are very far from the city where I was destined to live.

But God knows how much I want to stay here.

Not only because of the place but also..

...because of him.

The boy that saved me. He who saved me nine years ago. The boy who made the new me. Who made me realize what is the importance of life.

And the boy who made me fall in love.

Keeping my childish and young love for over nine years was difenitely hard yet amazing to be remembered. Everytime I think of those memories, even within just minutes, that was the best so far.

"Irene! Come back here!" My mom called me very hard but I kept on running away. Running away from the pain.

I went to the woods and I felt the night went deeper and deeper. Feeling shivered, I reached my favorite spot.

The river that always reflects the bright moon. The river that embraces me always when I am alone.

Looking around and searching for something, ---- there I found the little grasses of strawberries yet, there's no fruits.

"I was sure their were fruits here." I've seen them yesterday. Im sure!

Right, left, back, front, there were still no signs of the strawberries.

"Tunnel with no end
And too winding to understand that all I
Need is to reach out

For brighter side of the dark
Behind the mask
Hypocrisy
Night is come
Day is done"

The moonlight went down a little and it shines through a boy. A same age as me.

I keep zooming my eyesight yet I only see his black image. It's a boy who keeps singing moonlight sonata.

The song that I always sing whenever I go here.

He keeps singing, yes, his voice is pure and genuine. Truely amazing.

And he just sang my favorite song.

I can feel that he is staring at me from afar. That voice made me enter the river and slowly going to his position under that small hill he is standing.

But his lyrics and voice is still a melody to my ears. They enter through my ears to my heart.

"H-Hey.. Who are you?" I asked while I am still walking slowly upon him.

But neverthless, he didn't answer me and now he is humming.

"Answer me--- Aaah!"

I held my neck to support my breathing but the water pressure keeps increasing and I am struggling to swim with my heavy dress.

Being stupid and a fool makes a total mess, huh?

Is this how I am going to die? Drowning? Atleast, I died here at my Grandma's place not in that filthy city.

Is it really the end?

"Wake up.."

My cheeks felt unstable when I felt someone is checking it. I want to open my eyes yet everything in my body is like a rock. It is so freaking heavy.
