[above is a song by my absolute favourite band, Daughter. this live version literally gives me goosebumps and i think it fits this chapter and the next few so, have a listen :3 ]
“sorry,”
she choked out.
i looked up at her.
“why?
why do you have to go?”
she sat down on the cold concrete next to me
and pulled my head onto her shoulder.
“my uncle and his work.
it’s kind of a yearly thing.”
i nodded sadly
and gripped her tightly
i never wanted to let go
never wanted to let her go
as long as i lived.
the sea was bringing a storm
stirring up the sky
causing clouds to rupture
into a grey-blue overflow
of water
frothing into the waves of the ocean.
please don’t leave me.
please don’t leave.
please don’t.
please.
how many times had i said those words in my lifetime?
too many to count.
and they were completely powerless
to the catastrophy in front of me.
please don’t leave me.
and now she was leaving.
