24: Time To Let Go

Shawn's POV
•••
I strum the strings a final time before finishing the song.
"So.. what did you think?" I ask her.
She loves it.
She didn't say, I just heard it.
I hear everything she says; I feel everything she feels. I feel it when she touches me. I sense it when she's sad.
Suddenly, my bedroom door slowly swings open.
"Hey Shawn.. how are you doing?" My mum asks me in a low, loving voice.
"Great, I was just showing Y/n a new song I'm working on." I tell her while looking to my right, where my love's body sat.
"Shawn-" my mother begins.
She slowly sits on my bed.. to my side.
She rests her hand on my shoulder.
"Shawn.. you know that Y/n isn't actually here.. right?"
"What? Of course she is! She's right here!" I say, pointing to the other side of me.
There she sat, looking beautiful like always.
"No hunny, no.." my mom said, gently stroking my back.
"What do you mean, 'no'?" I ask her.
"Shawn, you know that she passed in the car crash.. you know that. I'm sorry that I'm even bringing it up but you must know the truth. I'm so sorry, hunny." She says, slowly pulling me into her arms for a tender, loving hug.
I don't hug back.
"I know mum.. I know.." I say while my sadness pours out of my eyes and slides down my cheeks.
"I'm so sorry, son." She says and kisses my cheek. "I'll give you some time."
Soon enough, she left.
There it is, the pain.. the agony. Just like the day I lost her. The one I love the most.
They claim I'll move on.
They claim I'll find somebody new.
I know I won't.
Nobody made me feel the way she did. I could smile for hours. Laugh for days. Be happy for a lifetime. All because of her. Now, she's gone. All gone.
And I guess now.. it's time to let go.
