The sky was a work of art today, birds were flying peacefully on it as the lights of sunset brushed the clouds with its colors. I drank a sip from my çay while I stared at the beauty the sky portrayed for me. It was getting windy now, telling the day was finally getting over.
I pulled closer to myself the jacket that covered me and rose my feet from the floor so I could hug my knees. It had been a peaceful evening, even if there wasn't any peace to be felt inside of me. The waves from the sea were small and calm, the breeze bringing the smell of sand towards me and I closed my eyes.
"Selin I'm going to buy something for dinner, do you want anything special?"
"Sağol Ibo" - I denied with my head and he nodded.
Since that night, I had been staying with Ibo in his beach house. He had seen the sadness in my eyes the moment he opened his door. He didn't say anything when he hugged me and he didn't ask any questions as I told him I was gonna stay with him for some time.
Days and nights slowly blended since then. I would sleep, I would wake, I would work and then repeat. My heart hurt, and I knew it was going to take a while for it to heal. But it was okay... the heartache inside my chest told the story of a beautiful adventure. I had known pain in many forms before, but I had never known it from heartbreak. I had fallen in love with Demir... and it had been beautiful, even if he didn't love me back...
Still I never expected it to hurt this much, I never guessed how much a soul could ache when it wanted someone knowing it could never have him... how much it could weight seeing someone in your dreams only to wake up alone and empty...

The scent of the salt mixed with the sand surrounded me and I sighed. 'You and I, it just won't...' The memory of his words made my eyes close, my hand traveling to my chest to hold it in place. It still hurts like the very night he had said them. When I had closed the door to him then, my soul had shatter into millions pieces that spilled to the floor through my tears. The pain so vivid, it resonated in my bones.
The sky was different shades of orange and pink now. I took in the beauty of the sunset in front of me, it was lovely... but not as much as the one I had stared with Demir by my side... Would my thoughts always find their way back to him? The memory of the two of us sat on the blanket, while Aslı played with her kite, rushed back to me. The sky had been breathtaking beautiful that evening... maybe because they had been with me, maybe because he had opened up to me, maybe because he had shared a piece of himself... with me... for whatever it was, I just couldn't remember a more beautiful evening than the one I shared with them that last day... I had loved him so much, it couldn't fit inside me.... and It all felt just like a dream now.
I drank another sip of my tea. I missed them so much now, I missed them since then... everyday that did us apart felt heavier than the one before. I missed Demir's smile and I missed Aslı's giggles, I missed the way we bickered and I missed the hugs she gave me. I missed having them in my life. I hadn't known how much I needed them with me till I no longer could have them.
