Glancing at my phone for the hundredth time
A wave of disappointment washed over me
As I noticed that I had 0 messages in my inbox
And 0 phone calls.
Letting out a deep sigh
I made my way across the silent apartment,
My feet dragging on the wooden floor.
Where is he?
Is the only thought that circled in mind
While I waited for the coffee to brew.
-
As I took the steaming hot cup into my hands
My reflection looked back at me sadly
-
I don't even like dark roast coffee.
"Darling, what coffee would you like?"
"Dark roast."
"That's so bitter though"
"Perfect."
"You're so boring~"
"You alone are enough to be interesting for the both of us."
-
Sipping the bitter coffee
I paced around the apartment,
Not knowing what to do with myself.
No one to talk to
No one to bother
No one to tell me off
I never thought that
Being by myself could be so...
Lonely.
-
Making my way towards the piano
My eyes landed on a picture
That stood on top of it.
Oh
It's a picture of us
I remember how much it took to take that.
-
"Illu, smile for a picture!"
"I will rip your arms off if you take a picture."
"But we have no photos together :("
"And let's keep it that way."
Click
"Aww you look so adorable in it, your nose is scrunched like when you're angry!"
"I'll give you a 5 second head start."
-
A tiny smile painted itself onto my face
As I set the photo down
And put my hands on the piano keys.
Letting my fingers dance like spiders,
I hummed along
-
The song he always fell asleep to.
"Would you like me to play you a song?"
"You can play the piano?"
"Why of course~"
"Surprising."
"I'm a man of many talents~"
"I guess one song would be alright."
-
As I got to the finish of the piece
I couldn't bring myself to press the last set of keys.
Getting up
I made my way to the bathroom.
The silence in the apartment irritating me.
-
Looking at myself in the mirror
I looked the same
Yet
The glisten in my eyes
Seemed to have vanished.
-
"Haha, I can't even see your eyes in the dark~"
"Maybe because my eyes are colorless."
"That's not true!"
"They're pitch black."
"They still glow in the light~"
"You're so strange."
-
I don't feel like styling my hair
Or doing my makeup
Or going out.
I just wanna stay home
And get a phone call
Or at least a text
From my dear Illumi.
