Forever And Always
Forever And AlwaysEdit: I hopefully fixed all the spelling mistakes I missed before <3
_____________________________________________
I used to hate the mornings. Those bright rays pulling on my eyelids open to the new day always disturbed me. What was to wake up to? My dad died when I was born and my mom is sick with lung cancer from smoking her pain away. I was told to live emotionless like a doll so I would hurt her no further. It was a meaningless life. There was no point in living a meaningless life. I had nothing that made it special.
That is, until I met her.
I turned my laptop off deciding now was the time to head out.
As I worked my way to the front door, my eyes scanned the picture frames that hung on the wall. They held precious memories of every person I have ever cared for. Their bright, shining faces remind me of a different world in a happier time where everything was still whole and united.
My eyes drifted downward not wanting to see the last picture. At least, not yet. I stretched my hand out to remove it from the wall, my eyes still glued to the floor. With my fingertips, I traced a line on the mahogany frame before hugging it against my chest.
Then I was out the door.
The warmth of the sun embraced me as I walked down the streets. There were a few places I want to visit first. I must visit these places before I go.
First stop was the little café on the corner. As my eyes scanned the tables through the glass, I let the memory soak my brain and paint my eyes.
