Daniel is at the point of breaking. The pain in his chest grows unbearable and he cannot breathe...This is when he looks into his past and the memory of her ease away her pain and gives him enough strength to move on.
......................................................................................
As I see the rush of the waves, the shining of the moon and its breathtaking reflection on the water, I start feeling an ache in my chest. This ache grows to an unbearable pain as I think of her. I yearned for her. Why does life have to be so cruel? I cursed it. I cursed it with all my might. But then, her words echoed in my mind, the way they always do when I am at the point of breaking.
'At the end of the day, you can either concentrate on what's tearing you apart or what's holding you together.'
And with these words echoing in my mind, I closed my eyes and her beautiful smiling face formed in my mind. That beatific smile made me happy and without thinking, my lips curved into a smile. I am happy now. Contented. I know this is what she wants. For me to be happy.
Scarlet Abigail Trevor. She was my best friend, the love of my life and everything I had. She was the only person that I cared for. The only person I fell in love with. She taught me to be strong, to believe in myself, to hope and look at things from a positive point of view. My Scarlet had changed my life. She had stopped me from destroying my life for the pleasures of youth. I owe my life and sanity to her and if I had once thought that I would ever be able to forget her, that the picture of her will fade away from my mind, I was wrong. Oh I was so wrong. Cause if anything, my love for her has grown and grows every passing second. I thought it was not possible to love someone the way I loved her. How wrong and naive I was then. And how impossibly naive I was when I thought that everything would remain the same. That between us, nothing would change. Our love still remains, growing strong as ever. The time couldn't kill it, so it did the only thing it could. It took her away from me and I am left her only with the memories of her to help me keep going on.
As I moved on, still gazing at the beautiful reflection of the moon, the moon she loved so much, I recalled how my life had been with her. I use to do this every time I come here. It helps ease away the pain. Her memories keep me alive. Without them, I would be an empty shell. This is how my story goes...
