So, say goodnight, our first goodbye. I've only got forever and forever is fine.
VoicesJust like the day before, Melissa went through a whole day with nothing reaped. The world was a cold and dark place to be, and all that ever mattered left her out in the cold. Even a crowded room could feel so lonely and heartwrenching to this girl who had so many friends.
She sunk onto her bed and leaned against the wall behind. Sighing in a mood of hopelessness, Melissa closed her eyes and as always, those images would flash through her head. The memories of that night were so vivid that every time she relived the moment, it felt as if she had been sucked through a vortex of time, everything playing before her like an old movie. Except, she was the protagonist.
The words that left his mouth lingered on in her head like a broken tape recorder. The touch he left that night burned her skin whenever the memory resurfaced. The kiss he gave left an indelible mark in the depths of her mind. That night's lack of surronding noises only made the memory more beautiful than it already was... It was magical.
Silent tears coursed down her cheeks as Melissa fought hard to not let the memory surface. How was it possible that something so beautiful could hurt anybody like that? Grabbing her pillow, she let out her anger in a long scream. When she thought things were getting better, everything came rushing back like a flash flood.
Anger and sorrow fueled the punches towards the wall. Pain sounded like an alarm in her head, but it was not the pain inflicted from the punching... It was much deeper within, somewhere she could not reach - her heart. It died the night she turned away - the mistake that took a toll on both their lives.
Melissa knew he had already forgiven her and let the past go, but she could not bring herself to forgetting everything so easily. Looking at the mess, of destroyed photo frames on the floor, a sad frown enveloped her face. How wonderful it would be to erase memories as easily as that?
Standing up, a smile etched across her face. Melissa walked towards the window and gazed up at the clouds. She needed to take action and stop moping around - she had to let go of her hopes.
