Day Fifty Seven - Sixty Four

16 - 23 November, 2013

Day 57-64 without you

I saw you this past week at the park.

I had to look twice to make sure it was you, and when I knew it was I smiled and tears sprung to my eyes.

You were just sitting on the bench with your head down. You looked so sad, and that's when my smile started to fade.

I ran up to you to ask what was wrong but then you just... left.

I was starting to get upset, and then I realised I was probably just going crazy. But then I saw you the next day! In that exact same spot!

You looked at me and gave me one of your dimpled smiles. Not the happy one, though. The one where you're sad but you try to hide it. The one that looks like you're saying sorry.

I went up to you again to talk to you and the closer I got to you, the less I could see you.

I was sad but then I thought that I would come back to see you the next day.

But then you didn't show up.

Did I do something wrong?
