Remember Me. (One-Shot)

A whisper.

I woke up in a hurry, doesn't know what happened to me before I wake up. Is this normal? I feel a painful tug in my heart, too painful to be normal. I clutch my chest in pain and look around me. it's my place, with its flowery walls and familiar inexpensive scent. I start feeling better. I'm in my house and nothing happened but why is my heart hurting too much? Suddenly, I hear a siren which is odd for such a cosy, serenely neighbourhood I'm living in. Weird. I get up after the former pain subsided and look at my calendar. Right, It's the 15th of March of the year 2020. While looking at the date I remember my task for today.

As I head out for a daily walk, I notice someone. with dark brown hair and gloomy eyes. This person looks at me and I feel my breath get caught up in my throat. I do not know why but his brief eye-contact made my insides shiver up. I try to break the contact but he-

He smiles. A sad smile.

I give him a questionable look and break the contact. After that, I go on with my day.

This doesn't stop that day. No. I see you again! Everywhere I go! Are you my stalker? I try to change routes- detour but you are still there.....WHO ARE YOU?

Even when I sobbed quietly late at night at my favourite spot near the river, you were there. Watching my every move from the most exhausting to the most nonchalant. Although it started getting creepy, I felt loved. Being watched over might be the worst scenario but I, love it. As it is, weird, isn't it?

I noticed you everywhere as if you didn't belong to a home. Was all your life me? Was I the main topic in your life? I tried to ignore the nagging feeling in my heart, I tried to ignore your presence but I couldn't help but get a glance of you. You looked sad and lonely, I wondered why? Why did I feel my heartbeats around you increase when I don't even know you?

And little by little, subtle visions started to swim through my memory. I saw someone. A face, a mere one. Nothing too important isn't it? But to my ultimate satisfaction, it was you. But in those blurry scenes, you seemed less sad; lonely. You didn't watch over me too. Are you someone I needed to know? Who are you really?

And little by little, your giggly, bright face starting conquering my everyday thoughts. It became annoying. But I loved it. You looked too beautiful. Were you in any chance someone precious to me? But even after how much I tried, I never remembered you.

Today, you weren't there. I almost panicked but a small part of me felt relieved knowing you weren't there but then I felt a painful tug to my heart. Am I wrong for being relieved about a mere human? Just why am I this infatuated with you? Why do you keep smiling with your stupid face in my memories? Why Do I keep feeling hurt, almost devastated whenever I catch a glimpse of you? Just, tell me who are you, stranger?
