There Goes My Life. . .

[cHamzie doregios]

Joshua and I sat down on one of the

benches along the covered walked one windy

afternoon. We just sat there with thoughts on

our heads, then, we looked at each other and

gave a smile. It seems as though we understood

each other with one simple look and answered

our questions with one simple smile. The gentle

breeze kissed our cheeks. The silence

enveloped us into our own world, as if we

were aliens from Mars observing the earthlings.

Knowing that we have each other made

us feel so comforted and so secure. . .or was it

that I alone was feeling in such a way??

Then, Trisha came striding in front of us.

Each step was like a step towards heaven. Each

movement was filled with grace; her eyes

glittered like the stars, her cheeks as rosy as a

child. . . her smile as sweet as an angel. . . yes!

For an angel she is to him.

He loves her. . . so much that he is willing

to give up his life for her. He loves her as much

as I love him. Yes! I love this man beside me

who loves that striding girl. . . It hurts to see

him in the same position as I am. . . so close yet

too close to fell the pain.

Then, he glanced at me, smiled and said;

"THERE GOES MY ANGEL, LET'S GO OR

WE'LL BE LATE FOR OUR CLASS"

He stood up, turned his back and started

to walk.

. . . I smiled, holding back the tears and

whispered, "THERE GOES MY LIFE".
