I tried walking fast. But my legs could not keep up with my flickering mind. I almost tripled over a stone. The mud tried to pull me down, deep down to a world of cold energy. I tried to pull my feet up and prayed that all the good spirits would uplift my soul. Even though my body was fully glued to this damn earth, my thoughts needed to be free. I moved towards the pavement. I have been very fidgety lately, my mind needed rest.
I had left my room around 5ish because I could not handle the silence any longer. I thought laying down in my soft bed would help my mind ease, but I was only sagging deeper and deeper into chaotic thoughts and flashbacks that I did not want to replay in my head. I got off the bed immediately, and threw everything around. I do not know what happened to me. Perhaps it was stress? Perhaps sad feelings digging deep into my vains? While thinking of what I had done earlier today I saw a flashlight from the distance. I stood still. What was it? Few seconds later I realized it was just a car. I only went out today because the noise can bring back harmony in my mind, to bring back the silence that I needed so badly. I had to find out what he had given me the day he left me. All these days I did not realize what had been nagging me.
I met him a couple of years ago. He always hung around with his friends, and whenever I passed him he would be ignoring me. I did not really take that into account. Few years later, when I was doing my regular warm up in the morning, I saw him running. He ran the same path as me. His movements were amazing, fast yet harmonic. His face would tell how hard he worked to get in to shape, and those deep-set eyes sent warm greetings to my dark brown eyes. My eyes wanted to watch but my mind took over and forced me to look down. I was shy. I would see him once in a blue moon, but once I my eyes were hooked on him; they would clash with my shyness. Everyone say they do not care about looks when it comes to choosing a partner. I believe it is a fair lie, in the end you get attracted to what your eyes like. Deep down I knew looks was not enough.
Although I wanted to be in his strong muscular arms I knew it would not happen. A guy like him would never talk to me. I noticed all the other girls who were out running. Beautifully shaped, they knew how to catch attention.
That morning I moved slowly, with my arms hanging down. I did not look strong at all. Thoughts wandered back and forth and I ended up sitting on a bench, watching over this beautiful lake. While watching the beautiful swans I wanted to swim along with these beautiful birds. I felt like the ugly duckling, perhaps I was just in the wrong place. I always go to this lake when I want to relax, and especially during Fall, this lake would so stunningly beautiful. There would not be so many people in that area, and I would lay down and crunch the leafs. I knew I was alone in this world, and I would enjoy the beauty of the nature all alone. I knew how to appreciate things especially after having learnt my lessons.
The past relationships were not something I’d yell hurray about. None of them were serious, and I ended up moving on as easy as it could be. I always thought that something was wrong with me but in reality I just met the wrong people. If you had a childhood like me, having everything in your life, lovely parents and sweet siblings and you have been raised in a little town for years you may think everyone must come from the very same world and that they know how to treat their next. You’d only be thinking of everything that you have been taught during your whole life about giving value to each and everyone and treat them nicely. I walked further along the peer to get a closer look at the swans.
A lady once told me that I should go there by evening time, and look deep down in to the water to catch a glimpse of my future husband. I tried looking deep into the water; I could not see anything but dirt and mud. I put my hand down and touch the water lightly to create tiny waves. I noticed something blue, I looked further and further down, and someone put their hand on my shoulder and a voice said ‘ careful ‘ u may slip’ and I turn around immediately, shocked, and almost tripping down. I noticed some gym shoes, and outfit, and my eyes wandered further up and to my great surprise IT WAS HIM…
