Despite my deteriorating vision, I could easily locate a cluster of teens loitering about outside my window 

Their constant bickering can unmistakably be heard from almost half a mile away

Oh what I would give to spend another day laying outside on the morning-dew fields 

I would recklessly run around in the nearby forest, listening to the sounds of nature until my heart's content

Looking out into the open grasslands with me at peace

The sun would set and as she did, I felt her gentle caress of sunlight slowly drifting from me

My legs would take me wherever my heart desired

I was the master of my own reality as it is

I then took the last picture I had of my young self facing the soft yet ever-flowing waterfall 

With it in hand, I tightly pressed it upon my chest and closed my eyes

My very own heartbeat kept me company 

The air that surrounded me was silent

It seemed as if the never-ending noise of the adolescence has died down

I was once again, left alone

This was it

Everything was set

All that needed to be done was for me to look out of my windowpane 

And beyond the horizon, I see her, the sun, with all her unending sunlight, bidding me farewell
