Bloom | Short Stories

Down

Sobs can be heard as well as raindrops that are coming from the night sky. I felt like someone stabbed me as I heard the following words that came out of their mouth, "Is this really it? do you mean what you said?".

"Yes, I don't feel the same way anymore." I lied and continued to say, "Our chapter together ends here." the never ending rain is the only one filling up the silence after.

"One more thing." I contemplated whether I should proceed, only the rain can be heard again. "I loved you and I'm sorry."

Preparing to retreat from their presence, I stopped when they said, "If you continue to walk away, I'll take it as a sign you were serious."

I silently cried as I choose to keep on walking, the distance between us getting larger and larger.

This is for the better, I couldn't afford seeing my love suffer because of my personal problem that I have a very low chance surviving from.

2 years had passed and here we are, standing on both side of the road. Sun bright and cars noisy. Who were once inseparable are now strangers.

Felt like time was repeating all by itself but now, they're the one turning their back and walking away.
