The Gift

Evening

That may be the last evening I ever saw you again. This might be the last hug I will give you. I don't know what future may brings, and I don't even know if I'm still alive that time. Who knows? Maybe I'll die anytime from now. People die anytime, anywhere, and with anyone.

I look at her shining dark brown eyes and hold her dark brown hair. I see the smile from her face at that time. With her rosy lips and pinky cheeks – I hope I can live forever with her. But, I know that it's completely impossible. Impossible for so many things. 1.) I don't know when I will die, 2.) I know that she already love somebody, and 3.) I am honestly saying that, she will not have a bright future with me. It'll ruin everything she had.

I hold her hands and put it into my chest.

"You can live forever without me." I said and kiss her warm hands.

"Why are you saying that?" She put away her bag and hugged me.

"I want you to be ready every time." I get off of her hug.

"To be ready for what? What do you mean? I can't understand you." She holds a look into my eyes trying to know whether I'm lying or not.

"I- I want you to be ready for the future." I kissed her in her forehead.

"You're always worried about something, don't you?"

"Uhm... I think, it's time for us to sleep." I changed the topic and helped her to pick up her bag.

"It's so early." She said while holding my hands.

"We've done so many things this night so, we should rest now." I look at her eyes.

Once again, a moment of silence in our street. In the midst of the dark night two old friends in different world, different passion and different beliefs hug each other.

I go into our front door and look back at her as she enters her room window. I see her face for the last time, smiling and that smile means everything for me. I see her smile in the middle of the dark.
