Looking at the
height and might of this tree at the park, I am silently praying for a rain to
come by and join me in my weep.
“So it’s over
huh”
“Yeah, but I-“
“Let’s stop with
the clichés, I think we can move forward from here”
“We can still
fix it if you want”
“Do you even
want it?”
He was silent.
“I should go”
He cut me off. “If
someday we’re wiser and better can we give this another shot?”
“If I would be
wiser and better, I don’t think running back to you would be my first instinct”
Cursing at me he
was on verge of tears but calmed down when passersby looked in our direction.
“Break ups
happen in the rain you know” I said looking at the perfectly fine sun shining
upon us between the leaves of this tree.
He laughed while
breaking.
“I gave you the
best years of my life you know that”
“Yeah, but I don’t
remember asking for them”
This guy is
really an asshole. I can’t believe I let him control me like that for years.
He left after I
looked down on him hard.
On the bench of
the park, still in disbelief on what happened I took a pen and paper and wrote
everything that I am feeling as of the moment. Quickly I was tearing to the
pages as I wrote everything I could write. Then a shadow passed.
“Joyce from
major? What are you doing here?” a familiar voice said
“Moping… What
about it?” I answered with hostility
“It’s just I always
eat there and all”
I just looked at
him meanly hoping for him to leave as he is not really one to stand his ground,
so much to my surprise when he decided to sit beside me.
“We can share”
she said while offering me the half of his donut
Normally I would
refuse but I cannot say no to sweets.
He didn’t speak
the entirety of time the time we I was talking. He simply nodded and ate his
meal. As he was listening, I noticed that I’m no longer crying.
I told him about
everything. We weren’t very close and I only see him with his friend Ken or
something. But there as something about his silence that comforts me.
“Thanks” I said
to him as I compose myself to leave
“I literally
just ate lunch” He answered
A few paces out
I passed by his friend who exclaimed “Oh there you are Michael” But he looked
at me and to Michael as well.
He whispered to
me “Hey, did he make you cry?”
I laughed and
jokingly said yes. He tapped Michael’s arm and said “I knew someday you were
gonna break hearts” to which Michael looked at him angrily in reply.
“Hey Joyce, can
you reconsider my recruitment proposal?” Ben said
As I crumple the
poem that I was supposed to give my boyfriend I smiled and said “I’ll think
about it”
