At the Sunset

[Whitelionesseyes]

I stare at that sunset on the unknown horizon while the waves play with my feet, but an emptiness surrounds me... So many memories come back to my mind and a tear escapes from my heart to join the seagulls' cry. Desperation takes over my soul and makes me scream to the skies asking for something, anything that helps me get through. And as I turn back to walk away from the light... just when I was about to give up... I see your face and my heart starts to beat like never before. All the memories come together in my chest and keep me from breathing. A strong emotion runs through my body, makes me cry and throws me to the sands. You come near and drying my tears, you tell me you're here for me. We reunite in a hug after... so many summers... after lifetimes. We dance through our new adventures,through our words, through our laughter. You take me to new places where the shimmering waters of the falls and rivers show me my inner reflection and I can see and remember myself. You show me all the wonders and mysteries of the Universe that surrounds us... You make me remember what I had forgotten, find what was lost, laugh what was cried, forget what was forgiven, understand what was confused, answer what was questioned... love what was hated, lit what was dark... Then, we meet again at that memorable sunset with the same hearts, but a different beat. We play with the waters as we splash each other with all the feelings we have for one another. A breeze surrounds us and gives you the unique opportunity to relax your shy hands that shiver for giving me a rose... A very special rose, symbol of our eternity... Then, you look to the colored skies and without the strength to hide your sadness anymore, you erupt in tears and confess me it is time... you have to go. A certain fear takes over my soul and brings my incredulous body down to the sands. Feeling paralyzed for your unexpected words, I ask you how long you will be gone... And a deep forever is said to respond me with coldness. You join me with a hug... and begin to come closer to whisper in my ear: "Come with me". The two worlds collapse in my heart and make me burst in tears, but with all the wisdom you taught me through our dancing path, I respond you: "If you had asked me that the day we found each other again... I would've forgotten about the world... I would've jumped, screamed and accepted without caring for anything, but now I can't... In that sunset, I was hopeless, cold and dark... but then you happened and showed me how the faith, light and life was in me... so I realized what I want and need to do here. I will do my best to spread every single grain in me, I'll make you proud and then... I'll meet you in shiniest sunset". Your smiling face begins to fade away as we promise to meet there: "Where everything began, where past, present and future reencounter, where the dances are joined by roses and the hearts never again... get to be apart".
