Soulmate.

Soulmate.

Soulmate.

A world where soulmates did exist, but some people are afraid to find their soulmates. Because they knew, one day, one of them would have to go and let go.

How would you know if the person is your soulmate? A timer on your wrist. It was like a ticking bomb that appears on the same day you will meet your soulmate.

She looked back at me. I can see her eyes sparkled. She felt it too, right? I'm her soulmate.

But what she needs right now is not a soulmate.

"...You can stay," I heard her whisper. "I can use some accompany, a stranger to listen. I prefer that."

I sat right next to her. Our eyes are on the horizon. For a moment, we were in silence, just feeling the cold breeze touching our skin. I am glad she did not push me away tonight.

Even though finding your soulmate in your vulnerable situation was overwhelming. For now, I am someone that stayed to listen.
