"I'm so shattered, every person who will try to fix me will be having a hard time making
me whole again," said the girl beside me.

"I can," I replied confidently.

"Really? How? I'm pretty sure it will be a tough job for you," she said to me while playing
with her hair.

"Yes, I admit, it will be a hard job, but trust me I can, if only you'll give me a chance to
do it, I can fix you, but not with same pieces like before." I continuously said while
starring at her grey eyes.
"How cold," he said while wearing his sweatshirt. He is standing beside me. No one is
talking until he said those words. The rain has stopped yet the air made us shiver and
tremble.
"Yes, it's really cold," I replied.

We both know that we're not referring to the weather anymore.

"Coward"

I am staring at a girl in front of me who is crying for an hour. She looks tired and empty.

"You're a coward," I said to her, but there's no response. She just keep on sobbing_ her
face is full of tears.

"The world hated you, you're nothing. Haven't you realized that you're useless, that's
why you are left behind by the things and people that you loved? I asked her.

I can't take it anymore. I'm done. She's really a coward. I'm sick of her endless drama.
My hand is bleeding as I punch the mirror in front of me. Yes, the girl is nobody, but
me_ pathetic. I can't accept the fact that the things I've said a while ago reflect my own
personality. "I am really a coward."
Love is in the air

"365 days have passed since I left you, and here I am... still wandering. All I can do is to
stare from a far. I cannot hug you nor kiss you. I just can't." Miro said those lines while
staring at his love interest, who didn't notice her presence, not at all.

She left him. She left her life. She didn’t choose it. Fate did it. She is already tired. She
wanna go back, and start again, but she still has a mission to do.

Miro continued walking on nowhere, searching for her love ones. She's holding her
silver necklace with a heart shape pendant, a necklace that reminded her of HOPE.

She keeps on wondering without noticing the surroundings. She's too occupied, until
she saw a couple.

"It's Valentine’s Day," she said. She went to the hospital and saw her weak body lying in
the bed. It's been one year since she's been comatose. It is a year of wandering and a
year of endless searching for just 3 tears from them_ her love ones. But, it's like
everyone has forgotten her... even her boyfriend. She just witnessed the sweetest yet
most heartbreaking story ever. It was watching him loving someone else, and she can't
do anything_ just staring.
Love is in the air, and she is like an air. Nobody can see her, because she's now a lost
soul.

"Cannot be"

I followed him as he walked in the dark, alone. I'm worried, because he is drunk. I don't
know if he noticed that I watching him. He suddenly stopped from walking and held his
head up.

"Please, I want rain, a heavy one, strong enough to stop her!" He shouted like an idiot
wishing to the gods to rain. I knew. He is just drunk or tipsy.

I continue walking near to him, and said "Why are wishing that one? Why you don't want
me to go? You know, I have to, this is just a dream, and tomorrow, I'll face the reality
again."

He remained on his position, looking in the stars. I waited for him to answer. I feel it, he
was hiding something. He was afraid to tell it to me.

"Cause... maybe the gods will hear me_ to extend the time we will spend together. I
may not be able to see you again."

"But why?" she asked.

"Simply because... because, I still love you," he said. Finally he said it_ those feelings.

"Why me, you know, I'm twenty four... and you're just sixteen," I replied. My chest feels
like it will explode. It is heavy. "You broke it. You told me that you'll wait for the right
time... for us"

"I'll go, you should go back inside too, it's getting cold here, they are waiting for us," I
said while wiping my tears. "You should stop that feeling. You should not cheat on your
girlfriend. Another thing, the two of you looks good together," I told him before I walk
away.

I leave him again_ in the same exact position and same place for the first time… he
confessed that he loves me. But, it's tragic. Destiny didn't allow us to be together. He is
only sixteen, and I'm twenty four, I'm getting married tomorrow.
