Apology
ApologyI open my eyes in the darkness. Ah, I fell asleep. I forgot to turn all the lights on.
I grab my phone from the night table and I see the time it's 3 AM now. He's been out for too long.
We had a fight. I was angry at him and I said things I didn't mean to. He left the house without saying any words.
Usually when we had a fight, he never got back at me. He would apologize and calmed me down by kissing me. Then we would make love, sweetly and slowly.
I dial his phone number and I wait for him to answer. His recorded voice greets me, telling me to leave him a message after the beep sound.
"Hey baby... Please come home soon... I'm so sorry..."
I end the call and I call him again right after. I leave another message.
"Hey... Oh-chan... I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you... Please come home... You know how much I love you..."
I sigh. Tears rolling down my cheeks. I walk to the balcony to take some fresh air. And I dial his number again.
"Baby... The sun's almost up... Should I come to your place?"
I take a look at my phone gallery, at all my pictures with him. All those happy moments, so beautiful it hurts me.
If only I apologized sooner, he would never have left the house. He would be with me right now, probably making love for another round.
Oh-chan, baby, I'm coming to your place. Wait for me...
I jump down from the balcony and land head first on the ground. My memories flash in my head like a movie. It's hard to breathe, it's hard to see, and it's hard to scream. I lay there and wait for my end to come.
Ne, Oh-chan... I will meet you soon... It's been 2 years since we fought that day. You left and never come back, but now we'll never be apart again...
