We said our goodbyes after barely greeting each other. Or at least that is how it felt like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am unsure if it was your eyes that said it all, or mine that could capture all the small details that led me to this realisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I won’t lie, after we locked eyes and turned them in opposite directions, I looked over my shoulders in a successful attempt to see your silhouette against the sun one last time. I still can remember a shiny fine golden line contouring your shape as you walked away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was no soundtrack for this scene. I could only hear your steps becoming more and more distant. If there were one, I wouldn’t be able to tell what genre would suit this best. I guess I will never know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is quite “funny” to think about all the moments that we will never share. “Funny” because I truly believed they could become true. Even funnier to think that I imagined them so vividly that they could easily be confused with memories. If only I knew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Look, this is not your fault. Perhaps not even mine. I can’t blame you for this. No, I don’t blame you for this. Though there was a tangible connection between us, it just didn’t work out and that is OK. Maybe our link wasn’t as strong as I thought it was. I could’ve been blindsided… Who knows? I guess it doesn’t matter, does it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don’t, for even a second, think that I hold a grudge for this. Not at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Goodbyes are just as magical as new beginnings and I appreciate them equally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Know that although I won’t be waiting for you, you can still catch up to me should you feel like it. You know my pace as I know yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For now, it is a farewell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But “now” is just as long as a fraction of a second. It becomes past even before you can process this word in your brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope you know what I mean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
***<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At some point, you are anywhere to be seen. Vanished like a vestige of light in a void.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Soon enough, I can no longer recall your face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It quite frustrates me because it was once so clear to me. So recognisable. I could describe every single feature of yours with my eyes closed. Not anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I won’t forget our ending scene, though. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That shiny fine golden line of yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How it beautifully and graciously penetrated my pupils and engraved your silhouette in my brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That, my friend… That I will never forget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
