Missing
Spontaneous CircumstancesInspired by "Because I Miss You More Today" - Davichi
The weather had been cloudy for the past several days, which I didn't mind because my mood was in the same situation. But today the dark clouds were suddenly gone, revealing the bluest of skies. From where I was standing on campus, I could see the horizon and the blue ocean in the distance, only slightly darker than that of the sky. And to add more salt to the wound, the wind was just right, soft and cool to compliment the warm sun I felt shining on my face.
It wasn't fair, that the weather was this nice but I was still overcome with heartbreak; it wasn't fair that the weather was so perfect and happy, while I had an ongoing battle with sadness. While walking back from class, I could already feel the tears coming on, and I hurried to find a secluded place where I could be left to my thoughts, and maybe cry a few tears before going back.
What would I have done if we were still together? If that were the case, a day like today would have brought a smile on my face. I'd be looking forward to seeing you, and perhaps doing something fun in this weather. Maybe take a stroll around campus, or even the beach if we wanted to. We would have gone out to eat, and then spend the time talking to each other. Maybe we would have sprawled out on the green grass, you resting your head on one arm while the other wrapped around my waist, pulling me to your side as I laid my head on your chest and listened to your heartbeat.
On a day like this, with the wind blowing ever so slightly, my bangs would still have a hey day, and I'd worry about them constantly. You would laugh and mess them up even more, before straightening them out and telling me it didn't look as bad as I assumed. On a day like this, we might have visited the gardens and admired the blooming flowers in this spring weather, maybe take a few photos along the way to make the memories last.
But on a day like this, you're not here with me. Will you ever be with me again on a day like this? Probably not, but maybe if I wish hard enough, and maybe if I mope around long enough, maybe, just maybe, you'll think of me again and decide that you'll give us another chance; that maybe you'll think we were worth it, and that you were too blind to see before. Closing my eyes and tilting my head up towards the sky, I let out a sigh as I felt the tears make their way down my face.
On a day like today, when the weather is just right, I miss you just a little more.
