[TL2018] Eternal love

If you like to hear music while you read this I recommend this:


Yesterday, I was watching the vivid blooming Oleander bushes, that you always cared so much about. Seeing how the wind drifts through the branches and leaves, reminds me about the time when we were allowed to be together on this journey.

Memories that slowly seem to fade, just like the leaves during fall, as each year passes by without you. While I observe the first petals gently floating to the ground, I see you joyfully dancing barefoot in the summer-rain when we were still sixteen.

I'm getting older and frail, just like the bark on the Oleander, that you planted the day when dark clouds descended over your life. A scream of defiance against the cruel truth.

It was this moment where I couldn't help thinking that you planted those bushes, because you knew you had to go so soon. I love you so much. I hope we meet again in our next life, but before then, I keep you in my heart till THE END.

Hits you right in the feels. Nice work.

That was both beautifully written and heartrending.
Awesome writing.
