Tomorrow's Mystery

I’m here tonight, holding your picture with my back against the wall. Now I’m all alone thinking about you and there’s nothing I can do.

Which way now? Should I go or should I stay?

I knew things would go bad the second those five words came out, but everything happened so fast that neither of us could seize it. I laid my head on my wet pillow as I turned the other side; hoping that maybe tonight I’d be able to get some sleep.

We sat side by side with her arms wrapped around me in the dark cinema, while the movie continued on the wide screen before us. Her beautiful eyes were transfixed on the romance that was just beginning to unfolding between the characters, while secretly mine were watching hers. She was a young and cheerful girl that always had a smile painted on her lovely face, caring like a mother and loved me like no other. She was everything a guy could ever want in a girl and she was mine.

I closed my eyes to find myself in the same dark empty space where our memories used to occupy. It was no longer lit with her smile nor was it decorated with our pictures; all that was left was just this empty space. I called out to her through the darkness, but only silence replied me. I slowly made my way through the darkness, trying to feel for the slightest touch of support, but nothing was in reach but cold thin air.

For the both of us to be studying in the same school must’ve been the luckiest thing that I could have. Although we were in different classes but we always pulled through. Our days were long and tiring but we still managed to get back together every day after school to share our experiences, to once again be united in a divided world. I stood there, at the main entrance of the school’s foyer, waiting for her classes to finish while the rest of the students walked pass me, one by one, couple by couple, yet I still stood there waiting, waiting for her to come, just to see her cheerful smile.

Walking through the darkness I continued calling out to her; still no answer. For the first time in my life, I felt utterly lonely. Where could she be? My feet cautiously edged its way forward, as my hands scouted around me; the silence was deafening. My right foot kicked upon what seemed to be a rock with a soft thud before the ground beneath me gave it, before I knew it I falling, falling into darkness once again.

She was my one and only, the only person that held the key to my heart. There wasn’t a thing that I wouldn’t tell her because she was everything. We had the happiest moments together even when the times were hard; we lived our life, laughed at it and loved it. No matter how hard it, her one smile was enough to brighten my day, and motivate me to push for greater heights for her and for us.

Our lives were always entangled in between each other and no matter what happened we always found ourselves in each other’s arms in the end, however this time I wasn’t as sure as to what was to come. All I knew was that I was falling, deeper and deeper into the darkness beneath me into the unknown.
