I remember nervously waiting for the time to pass. I remember fidgeting in nervously. Not knowing what to expect. Sometimes, I am not even conscious of the old habit of biting the bottom of my lower lip. I was waiting, hoping that you would come, just nervously sitting on the cushion seats. The whole theater became darker. All around me was dark. I couldn't see anything. Suddenly, I felt your presence near me. "Hey, sorry I'm late." You swiftly sank into the chair next to me. I had this tiny smile when I know you had come. There was this awkward silence I felt. Maybe not awkward as we were suppose to be quiet when watching the show. Half way through the show, I felt something place into my hand. "I wanted to give this to you..." It was just a tiny package. My curious mind played up, wanted to open it there and then, somehow, I could control myself not to do so. Soon after, you just held my hand throughout the whole show. Sometimes, just tilting towards me, asking me whether was I alright. As the show ended, and just right before the lights came back on, you kissed me, something that caught me off guard. Everything from there on was just a blur, reality, but it felt like somewhat a dream.
Back home, I opened the small package. Inside, I found a heart-shaped accessory, a letter, a song, and a necklace. I read the letter, and it just somewhat made me cry in the middle of reading it. Not sure I can remember why though. I remember holding onto the necklace from then till now. No doubt all of that had been put behind in the past, it still stuck with me. I remember everything from the start till the end, but I'm not sure you do.
Just staring out into the sunset, a tear ran down my cheek, I wiped it off. Knowing that this had been happening on a certain basis, I told myself, 'He had moved on, so must I...' But I know clearly, that it is hard to do so. You left with a piece of me, hurting. You came back trying to give back the piece to my near-recovered wound.
*To write it out, is to forget about all of it for eternity...*
