A New Beginning

It was another September morning but a little different. Everything about that morning felt different to me. Every morning I woke up praying whatever happened between us would be a dream, I was always disappointed in the morning and the memories of us kept striking on my mind throughout the day. Every night I slept with anticipation of seeing you as soon as sunrises and we would spend the whole day with each other in your house, watching my favourite movie, ordering a pizza and fighting for the last slice and talking about silly things till the sun went down and you would drop me to my house with a little kiss on my cheek, also with a “See you tomorrow love” note on my jacket. I hated summer until I met you in the coffee shop and how I argued with you for taking my regular seat and reading the novel I had a bookmark on. Summer was over, so were we. When you left, everything felt surreal and tormenting. I cried every night and every day until that morning.

After a long summer break, I finally had the courage to decide I was going to school and face you all over again, I was ready to feel the love for you and a little ache in my heart at the same time. I was ready not to show you how sad I was and how upsetting the summer had been for me after you left. I had finally started growing stronger until one day I went to our coffee shop and saw the bookmark on the book, I could see us sitting there making faces sometimes beating each other, resting on your shoulder as we heard the birds chirping, I was lost in your thoughts when reality made a strong comeback when someone dropped something at the coffee house. But I wasn’t crying and there wasn’t any guilt of losing you. I was smiling and grateful for the memories. Then, I was back at it again, the new version of me, making the greatest effort to get over you, only you because memories last forever.
