I stood there, on the edge of a small patch of field, green with grass. i don't know what i was looking at, i just stood there, still, looking at what's infront of me. i faced a white and somewhat abandoned looking building, a flat maybe? right above, dark clouds stirred, shrouding the day with darkness.
you drove by, and halted to a stop. i don't remember our small conversation, nor the car you were driving. red was it?
it seemed like you were driving away, hearing the wheels roll behind me, disinterest with whatever was to do with me and i didn't expect any less.
i continued to stand there, not feeling any urge to move, while the wind came to torment me, sending chills down the sides of my arms. i must've hugged myself when you reappeared. you motioned for me to walk alongside you. confounded, i let you lead the way.
"why are you alone? let's go have a seat." you said with a smile.
as much as your voice sounded like music to my ears, gentle to pluck on my heart's strings, it was your soft smile i paid attention to.
it signalled to me that it was okay between us. that we are friends again, no longer strangers.
we walked on the pebbled road, just a few steps from where we were.
every step i took, i still held questions. "why were you doing this?" "why are you being so nice?" "why now?"
i didn't even planned to ask these questions, i was content.
i moved through everything as if it was a dream. it felt so vague, i was so lost, i didn't know how to think clearly.
but, it indeed, was a dream.
and so,
i woke up.
