Echo

Give me the strength to overcome this.

After everything has become vivid, I am here again, sitting on the cold, golden, fine sand gazing at the magical and magnetic sky which is painted with violet color till infinity in front of my pair of clear cornea.

The cold, nice breeze coming from the sea is making my blond hair swing in the atmosphere and refreshing me from the motion sickness due to a long flight. The smell of the sea is salty and green as always. I could see a couple of stars trying to shine brightly as the very big full moon just behind a purple ray. The environment is picturesque. I just love the way it is.

This is the first time to sit on the shore after Edward had gone.

'Hinn' I sigh deeply, sinking alone helplessly in the ocean of thoughts. Actually, I have lots of unforgettable memories on this shore of Donghae Si, a beach in South Korea. This is a place where I first met Edward, my only love of my life.

Words such as 'Love you, Sue' 'You are so beautiful.' 'I am not sure I deserve you babe.' 'You are everything for me.' 'How many kids are we going to have?' 'Want fun tonight?' ' I'm sorry.' are still echoing in my head. It hasn't gone fainted as the years has passed. These voices are as fresh and clear as always.

I could remember that we were running after the big waves, holding our hands tightly, singing our head out till we were panting. We used to make a fire at nights to keep us warm while watching sparkling firework shimmering on the dark background of the night god.

When I look to that place where we sat together, it is now occupied by another couple. They are gazing each other sharply with a piece of tranquility and excitement on their face as we did long ago.

I could feel the soft texture of his sexy and thin lips on mine moving smoothly with a slow pace which caused estrogen spikes in my hot and boiling blood.

Now, back to the presence, Edward had gone. I don't want to blame anyone anymore. Everything which is done is done. I don't have the power to change the past. So, I decided to accept the reality and came here again.

The sky is as beautiful and peaceful as always.

The shore is full of lively moods as it was.

The big waves are kissing the rocks as it did.

Everything is very stable and there is no obvious changes.

My heart is still full of Edward till its bottom. I was his and he was mine.

But he can't be with me anymore.

That's the only one thing that is different from the past.

I can't hold back my tears anymore. Give me the strength to overcome this.

Grabbing a glass of half-filled wine, I swallow them at once. The dark falls under my eyes.
