He Left Me Alone

56

We agreed to go to this small coffee shop nearby.

It was cold, obviously. But I didn’t see him feel cold at all. All the way to the coffee shop he grinned from ear to ear. I asked why he acted that way once, but he refused to answer. But I guessed I knew why he was so happy, because I was, too.

He seemed to notice me blowing the air from my mouth to my hands for warmth because slowly he reached for my hand. And that time I noticed that he wore those gloves I gave him last night for his christmas present.

We walked to the coffee shop hand in hand. And I felt as if the cold has been taken away from me ever since he held my hand.

In times like this, I really knew that I could live like this. We could live like this. I could us holding hand. I could see us take a walk every morning, just enjoying the life we had perfected.I could see that no matter tough things would be for us, we would always get through them.

It was us against the world.

But never had I been so wrong that none of my visions would become reality.
