I wonder,dear.What separates my world and yours?
Oh nevermind,you look tired today too.Did your boss give you a hard time again?Well that's okay,my love,you're home with me now.
Have you been drinking dear?You don't seem too well.Have you ate?I truly hope you did.
You must've had a hard day,darling.You can relax now.What scent is your bath going to be tonight?your favourite lavender and vanilla?oh,are you going to use the jasmine one tonight?but you hate changes don't you?thats what I thought,good choice!
"Fuck that's too cold" haha that's okay,darling,just adjust it a little bit to the right,you'll thank me,someday!
Mhm let me guess what tonight's song is going to be...ah,our favourite!you have very good taste in music,that's one of the reasons why I love you.
Has anyone ever told you,you look most beautiful after a long bath?Now you look so much better,darling.It's going to be alright,today will end soon!
Come lay down beside me,darling!The bed's a bit cold,I wish I could've warmed it up for you but I-
"I'm so tired"
Oh.
Well,tell me about your day,my love.You know I'll always listen right?
"I dont know how much I can take this anymore,I don't know how long I can live like this"
What do you mean,darling?
"I never thought It could hurt this bad.I never thought I'd find out how it feels like to lose someone so dear to me.I loved him so much,and it breaks me so fucking bad.It's so hard to breathe sometimes"
"I dont know how long I can live with all of my regrets,it's all too fucking much for me,I can only take so much,God.How could I possibly live knowing..."
She looks at the wooden frame sitting on her nightstand.
It's okay,darling.It wasn't your fault,you know it's nothing that you can control right?stop blaming yourself,i'm right here and hes not!you and him were not meant to be.
please stop crying,it hurts me to see you cry..
...................
Oh you're back from home again!You're a little late than usual,heavy traffic,dear?
And as always,silence fills up the room.
You'll have better days,love.Have you seen the snow?I remember watching it with you for the first time.My eyes were fixed on you all the time,you looked so beautiful under the snow.Do you remember?
Ah
For a second there I imagined you saw me on the balcony.Why are you shaking your head,dear?come back!watch the snow with me.
...................
You're home!
Come join me on the balcony,dear!it's going to start any time soon.
She walks towards the balcony and sat beside me.
You came home just in time.
She started to smile,looking up at the dark sky,as we both sat there together,watching the fireworks.
Where are you going,dear?the fireworks isn't finished yet,come sit back down.
She suddenly stood up,displaying a nostalgic smile on her face.
Then she started climbing over the balcony.
And I just stared at her,fireworks still blasting clear.
Finally,she steps off the 8th floor and landed onto the ground with a loud thud,accompanied by the sound of her bones cracking from impact.
It was silent for awhile as the fireworks had stopped.
And I just sat there.
Taking in the beautiful sight of the stars and the cold breeze of the night.
I then covered my face with both of my palms.
I just couldn't stop smiling.
...................
Right at that moment,do you remember what I asked you,dear?
Mhm not really,what was it?
I asked you,what separates my world and yours?
...
Ah,you don't remember?well that's not important!
What matters is that.
You're with me now.
