She was
walking fast, and observing the path ahead of her. The leaves fell at such a
beautiful pace, they almost accompanied the song coming out of the radio.
She smiled
and wondered if she’d see him, once again, walking down the same road.
She had
attempted to dress up. They had been accidentally meeting for a month now. He
didn´t know how much in love with him she was.
The wind
made a strange noise and a new song started. She didn´t know this song, she
wasn´t sure she liked it.
Someone ran
across her and she smiled in recognition but continued walking ahead. In front
of her a beautiful old tree seamed dead, the leaves were long gone. But a white
owl watched her walk.
For a few
seconds she dreamed of other, more beautiful worlds, were there was no pain and
suffering.
She felt
something cold on her shoulder. The sun was still up, but it seemed to have
started raining. Soft tears from heaven.
She had not
brought an umbrella. Nor a cape. But she was already wet, there was no point in
going home now.
But there
was no more hope of seeing him. He would not come while it was raining, and she
could not come tomorrow.
She told
herself to maintain focus and once again looked ahead, once again a new song
started. This time she knew the song, this one she liked. It was old and rusty,
and it made people cry, it was comfortable and reliable.
She decided
she should run. That way she wouldn’t get so wet. Not that she wasn´t wet
already.
She didn´t
run for long, and decided to sit in one of the benches. The rain and the sun
had created a rainbow over the mountain East of the village. It covered the
tallest tree and the tallest building. It brought colour to the sky.
It was
beautiful and the rain stopped anyone from seeing her cry.
She turned
the volume up and waited for the familiar song to die. Softly she sang to no
one and hoped only heaven would hear her.
When a new
song started she decided to go back. And when she looked up, there he was.
His face
was wet – was it the rain or was he crying too?
He had been
running, she could see.
He had
flowers in his hands, they were wet and forgotten. He slowly gave them to her.
She smiled
and he sat by her side.
He slowly took
her headphones off and kissed her. She had been singing aloud and hadn´t realized.
