And so it came upon a cold summer night, the music was slow and sad. All those entombed emotions came flooding back, demanding acknowledgment and pleading for closure … a closure one will never have. But sometimes, words are better left unsaid. For words can ruin the moment, take away that glow in your eyes and bring you tears instead. Be content with that tender bittersweet emotion, finding root in the contradictions you have successfully mired yourself in. Sometimes, somethings are better left for the imagination. Reality is a buzz-killer. Let the perfect ending remain instead in your mind where the happy ever after never ends, where you can relive the past over and over again.
In the mind, one can relive a night much like this one, when 2 people swore never to grow apart. In the mind, that night would have never seen the rising sun. In the mind, that promise would have never been broken by 3 simple words: “Di pde pre.”
