The Only Reason II Irwin

Prologue

“I don’t remember falling in love with you. I just remember holding your hand and realising how much it was going to hurt when I would have to let it go.”

~

“I’ll never let you go” the words replay fresh in my mind as if the day was just yesterday but then again maybe it was.

Those mop of curls, that dimpled smile, that accent, that giggle. The memories flash through my mind as I drown in something that finally isn’t my own thoughts…the rain. It cleanses my skin as the thoughts begin to escape through my mind. I still remember the last time I saw his face, I was watching him disappear out of my sight as the car took a sharp turn into the next street, his presence being wiped from my life.

“Remember those words, I don’t ever lie,” but maybe the whole scheme was a lie? Maybe we were just never meant to be, our reasons for being were never right for each other.

You can never truly understand the pain of going through a broken heart until you experience it for yourself. I thought our love was fireproof but I guess that the storm was too strong and washed it all away. Nothing lasts forever, nothing stays the same…

As a glint of sunlight hits my skin, I gaze up to the sky, following where the light came from. The lyrics he sung to me replay in my mind, heck they never left my mind.

When I close my eyes and try to sleep, I fall apart, I find it hard to breathe. You’re the reason, the only reason…

Little did I know though that on the other side of the world, he was sitting down too, reciting the lyrics as he did all that time ago to me but for the first time in a long time, he felt like he had hope, hope that maybe it would all work out in the end.

“Even though my dizzy head is numb, I swear my heart is never giving up. You’re the reason, the only reason.” he said, shutting his eyes, reliving the memories.

And those words became our reason for holding on, the only reason.
