Chapter 7: VI. Presence

The puddle remnants of yesterday's aftermath cleared my hazy eyes like how the sight of you just a step away from me shook my entire being.

I didn’t know where to place my sweating palms. I can even feel my eyelids slightly twitching due to the sudden pressure and I need to assure I leave a good impression.

 

This is burdensome. 

 

Burrowed deep within my thoughts, I didn’t notice your nearing presence. 

 

The narrow lids of my eyes grew larger when your shoes stepped toward my place. In response, I bowed my head. But then,

To reflect on what had just transpired, I decided to head to the infirmary and continued my pretentious act of feeling unwell.

Will I get to know your thoughts and answer your questions?

 

Will I become at least a part of your precious memories?

 

But who would answer my questions?

 

Would I just leave it up to fate, or should I speak up with courage?

 

Opening my eyes, I was already expecting a blinding light from the sun but a shadow loomed over.

 

In your silent presence, I find myself blinking thinking this is another creative fantasy.
