I GATHERED all of my strength to step my feet inside this premises. It was Saturday and the sun above me was shining bright like a diamond. The wind was chilly, maybe because Ber-months were fast approaching. But nevertheless, the breezy air and the heat from the sun was merging with each other, making me feel warm. I was walking all alone in this place, in this sacred place. Yes, I called it sacred because this is where our love grows and this is also where our love ends. See how sacred it was? Each steps that I am taking, makes me feel unstable. Who wouldn't be? Ever since that day, I never let my feet step on this ground. Even though this is just a Park, for me, it is as sacred as the heaven up above. 

"Who would have thought that I will let myself step in this place again?" I said, smiling weakly.  

After a minute or two of walking, I found myself stepping on the lawn grass that was all over the place. But soon enough, I remember that this part of the Park was my favorite, our favorite. 

"Hey," I said as I walk nearer while looking at those pinkish leaves. I was on the right spot, under the Cherry Blossom tree. "It was mid-August already and I was very much impress that your leaves are still beautiful as ever," I added as I looked sternly. I was really referring to the Cherry Blossom, itself. 

It was really a beautiful scenery. I, myself, under the Cherry Blossom tree, but I am sure that it will be better if you are here by my side. How I long for you to touch me again and to be with me again. My feet automatically walk nearer to the tree, as if it has its own life and mind. A few inches away from it, I stopped abruptly. It was so unreal and so real at the same time. I don't even know what is what and who is who. There, under this tree, I saw two people who's cuddling with each other; happy and contented on what they have. Or maybe should I say, what they HAD. 

 "You know, I am planning to buy us a house before we graduate. I so love to be with you and I can't help to see us together living in one roof. What'cha say?" an echoing question was said into my mind as those people, referring to the ones who's currently under the tree, looked at each other tenderly with love and care. 

 "Great idea. I can't wait for that to happen, but for now, we should enjoy this moment. Cuddling and doing things we both love," the other said, as they smile with each other. 

 I smiled bitterly as they both looked at my direction and then vanished immediately as the air blew towards my direction. A bittersweet memory. 

 "I'm so done with this matter! Can't you even trust me for this? Why do you need to do that?!" the voice was eagerly mad as the looked from their eyes was filled with tears and sadness.

"Lower your voice, Baby. Let's settle this," a calm voice answered as it try to reach out for the other. "Trust me, I didn't mean to ruin it. If only I knew that---"

"That only means you don't have enough trust on me! You see? Just when I was about to talk to him, you just pulled me over and dropped me here. You even mentioned that I was a flirt, a slut and such. Do I really look like one of those? Don't you even trust me? My gosh! For once, show me that you have trust on me."

Flashbacks. Memories. They were returning to me as if they want me to feel and buried myself in deep pain cause of that scenario. Pain traveled too fast on my body system, it was like a knife that keep on stabbing me directly in my chest. I grab my chest to lessen the contraption that I am feeling but to no avail. Voices. Scenarios. Everything was fast as if it was taken fast forward.

I closed my eyes and take a deep breath. Face the reality, I said to myself. Yes indeed, it was just a few weeks or so when it was ended. When the world around me stopped spinning abruptly. It was just too late for me to noticed that I took it for granted. Everything was taken for granted.

As I open my eyes, I saw an image standing in front of me. The image, itself, was saying something to me that I can barely understand. My mind was clouded fully of the thoughts that has happened couple of weeks ago. I wasn't ready for this. I wasn't ready for this kind of pain but what can I do? It is already here and all I need to do was to go with it and just act like nothing wrong happened.

"What are you doing?" I asked with a husky voice as I tried to stand steadily without the help of this person. "Stay away from me, she might scolded me when she saw me with other girl."

My vision was still blurry because of the dizziness that I felt next to contraption of my chest, but I am a hundred percent sure that this image in from of me was a girl or maybe a woman. Its scent was truly alluring that it gives a goosebumps to my spine. The scent of sweet and cinnamon, a very familiar scent indeed.

She grab my left arms and put it over her shoulder as she held me closer to her and walk along with me.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked, feeling dry and weak. This body reaction of mine was questionable, it was really rare. It was new. It was unexplained. How can she manage to make me feel like this?

Without a minute of taking me closer to her, I somehow feel that she was putting me down carefully. As for me, I can feel the lawn grass on my skin. I know that I am still here. Here in the place where our hearts' collide.

I heard a humming sound, makes me feel a bit sleepy. Her hands was caressing my face and my hair, adding the sensation of sleeping. But there is the urge not to sleep, yet the humming sound and her sweet caress was telling me to sleep.

"You should take a rest for now, Baby. You should really rest, enough of thinking about anything and everything. Just rest. Once you wake up, you will better. Trust me as I said this words for the nth time. I love you, I always do."

The voice was somehow familiar but I didn't bother to think who own it. All I knew was that, I want to sleep. But before I drown to sleep, I felt a soft and smooth thing that touches my lips.
