As we got nearer to the last stop, I slowed down my footsteps. Or rather, not wanting to reach the end. I thought I could hold on to my tears. I thought I was strong. But, as he held me in his arms, I couldn't stand no more, tears eventually wetted my cheeks and it wouldn't stop flowing. I wish all these wasn't happening. I wish I don't need to let go. I wish we can start all over again, I wish time could rewind. I wish that the fact that he's going to leave next Wednesday isn't true. I wish that I would see him again, when school reopens.
I wish for so much.
"To our future." "To more love." Looking at him, cheering with his friends, spending every second like it's the last. No, I still couldn't believe he's gonna leave. I couldn't imagine, I wonder how will his classmates be able to cope up when school reopen, and found an empty seat in the class. Or realizing, a best friend isn't there to laugh with them.
People wouldn't stop coming up to me, asking me if I were okay. I can only nod my head little and pretended everything is okay. But I couldn't hide my sadness and depression. I hope I'll be okay. I hope I won't be trying to search for his shadow in the school and break down realizing he isn't there anymore. I hope I'll be okay soon. I'll live on to our memories till the day I see you again.
But I know it's gonna be harder for him. A whole new life, new friends, new school. He had to face more challenges than us. More tougher challenges, without his best friends, without his family. Yes, clearly it's gonna be harder than what we need to go through. But I know love, you'll be alright, you'll do well. You do well, every time. It's only a matter or time.
I can feel dry tear stains on my cheeks and more coming on. But, we all have to try. It wouldn't be easy, but we have to try. Take care, love.
I love you more than a human can possibly love you. And I'll see you again.
