Light as the Sand

We are sitting alone in front of the calm beach. It’s the time the sun goes down. The color of the sky is yellow reddish. The sun shines the ocean like a millions diamonds above the water. Far from the crowded, only silence around us.
‘This is my decision’, Say you.
‘Are you sure this time?’ Ask me.
‘I’ve never been so sure all of my life like now.’
I don’t give any response. My eyes stuck on this beautiful sunset.
‘Why are you silence? You are not happy?’Ask you, stare at me.
‘I am happy’, Answer me short. This situation touched me. I don’t know because of this remarkable place or because of this extraordinary feeling, I feel my eyes are warm.
‘So, why are you crying?
‘This is the way I am expressing my feeling.’
‘Don’t cry. You have to laugh. Laugh it out. This is the happiness that we must celebrated’
‘Let’s laugh!’ Asked him and his hands suddenly reach my wrist. I am so surprised. I can’t stand if someone touching my wrist. But it’s succeeded. His action makes me laugh anyway.

After we laughed, I feel my heart so light. It’s like that I don’t have any burden. I design the sand with my finger. Then I see you smile while you’re staring at the blue ocean.
‘What you’re thinking?’ Ask me.
‘Thinking how stupid I was. I won’t do the same mistake that I’ve done before. Letting you go.’
‘No, it was not stupid thing. You did not have any choice at that time. You had a girlfriend. And I was nothing for you.’
‘I didn’t realize it until you gone.’
‘You learnt many things from that. Never feel sorry for what happened’
‘Yes, but you’ve been sacrifice too much. She made you shame.’
‘I learnt many things from that’.
‘She was only my girlfriend. But seeing the way she treated person like that, forced me to thinking again my relationship with her. Since you’ve gone, everything is different.’
‘Don’t exaggerate. I have a strong principe that I don’t want to get in trouble with other people relation.’
‘I lost you. I dreamt of you each night’.
‘I had the same feeling for you also. But I hid it. I was thinking that I should not have this feeling. Not because you were my superior, but because you had a relation.’
‘I wasn’t happy with my relation. If I were realized it sooner, we wouldn’t have to feel this suffer.'
‘Or may be we must feel this suffer. So, we will appreciate the happiness that come in the future.’
