For the love of all things reflective

SUNSET


 Dear heart,
          The call was the worst I’d received, the end to it all. I could only make out your name and I just knew, I just did. I’m not one to keep fit but I’d never run so fast in my life and speed had never felt so useless. I could not get to you in time. I failed you. I’m calling you, why won’t you respond? What would happen to our morning runs? Or the silly fights we get into. The early morning toast and smoothie and Christmas cardigans. Your moans of pleasure and tears of pain. Maybe I didn’t know just how valuable they all were, or maybe I did and I just thought we’ll be together forever. The smile that would always reach your eyes and the creases by the side of your eyes that notify me of your mischief. Your warmth that is no more. It’s weird that all feelings are racing through my mind yet I feel nothing, nothing at all. All I see is your blood on my hands and your body on the floor, I have to get out of here!! I have to!
                                                                                           Yours in hurt,
                                                                                            Your love.

This is a thank you to that friend who pushed me to put this up today. Thanks for being so supportive.


OMO AYAN.
