THE AUTUMN’S DAY
It was one of those autumn days when on every step cold weather slowly creeps under-coat. Slowly, it began to get dark. I took a few more steps. As soon as I walked opposite the corner, it started to rain. I walked on and tiny drops were falling on my head. And I’ve been thinking about everything that happened in the last few hours. Could I change that? Why did it happen? Why just now? None of this made sense. At least not to me. My feet carried me alone. I didn’t know where I was going or why. I didn’t really care. Along the way, I passed the streets and houses where warm and pleasant light shone behind the windows. But to me, none of this mattered and I had to go on. I walked around the next corner and entered a dark, unlit street. Suddenly I saw a park in front of me. It was dark and chilly and looked so incredibly sad and lonely. Just like me now.
I wanted to pass by it just like the previous streets and houses. But I couldn’t. As if it was telling me to go inside. Like something invited me. I stood in front of the gate from bushes for a moment. I stood there silently. I already wanted to turn and just go away, but then I decided and walked in. My heart trembled full of anticipation and excitement.
Step by step I went on. It was as if someone was holding my hand and it led me through the dark dark paths. At one point I looked up and looked ahead. And that’s where we saw him. He stood there pale and still. Like he was made of stone. That’s how we looked at each other. I could see something on his face that he wanted to tell me, but he seemed unable to speak. As if he didn’t know the words. Yet he spoke to my soul. My heart knew exactly what he was telling me. He had gorgeous eyes, looking at me all the time. And I stood there, smiling and ashamed. Like a little kid just caught doing small children’s monkey business.
I stood there and I just smiled. I feel happiness and love. My warmth spread out in my body, and I felt light and composure as if nothing had ever happened a few hours ago.
