I watched as the sun set in the distant horizon. Autumn leaves flew by my feet. It’s getting cold, I thought to myself. Winter must be approaching soon.
I knew it wasn’t the cold that bothered me. There was this heavy unsettling feeling in my heart. I knew it was over. I knew it. Then why do I feel so numb? He left without saying goodbye. There was a time I wished this would happen. I really did. Then, why do I feel this regret?
The park bench I was sitting on was cold and hard. It was painted a murky brown. This was my seat in the park. I came and sat here often. And now I knew this was going to be the last time that I would be sitting here.
I lifted my head up and stared at the darkening skies. There was this unexplainable storm in my head. Was it sadness? Am I sad? Should I be sad? The first friend I ever made, decided to leave all of a sudden, and he did.
