I woke up and I was back at the age of 7, I was in a unfamiliar room, so looked around trying to remember where I am, I saw a clock hanging on the wall, it was 3 in the morning What am I doing here? And why I did I woke up at this kind of time?
Then I saw this letter near my bed, I opened it and this is what it said.
Dear Eli,
You?ll come and see me tomorrow by 4 o?clock right? Before the sunrise, like we promised ? well, hope you could make it, and you?ll visit again right? It?s your last day being here, I know that much ? just don?t forget ?bout me when you?re gone?
My surrounding changed as I finished reading the letter, now I was waiting patiently by the tree near the swing. It was already 4:30 in the morning but the moon was still there and it really did looked fascinating even though it?s almost gone.
I thought of singing as I wait for him so I rode the swing then hummed my favorite tune joyfully, looking up at the now hiding moon.
Just then someone tapped me by the shoulder; it startled me at first, only to find that it was just him. ?Waiting long?? He asked ?nope, just got here, the moon?s really nice huh?? I said ?yeah?? he replied
?So wanna play?? he asked again ?it depends, what game is it?? I asked him, I wasn?t much of the player type, I would always prefer drawing or listening to music. ?Hide and seek? he said smiling at me ?but it?s already dark? I said stating the truth, it really was dark and the light coming from the moon really didn?t made any difference.
?Yeah, I?ll be IT if you want? he suggested ?sure? so close your eyes and count to ten? I said smiling
I then dashed off as he counted up to 10 ?don?t peek? I said as I tried to hide, I was having fun with him; I hid behind this big tree, hoping for him to not see me; it really made me laugh when he didn?t, even though I was so obvious.
He then tried looking for me somewhere else; I really was having lots of fun, and ?I can?t believe he didn?t see me? I said to myself laughing a little, so I decided to go back to the swing and wait there.
But someone grabbed my hand ?gotcha? he said. I looked at him surprised so he did know I was hiding there ?but how?d you know?? I asked him really disappointed that he saw me and so easily too? ?Just my luck? he said as he smiled mischievously ?here? he then handed me a rose, a white one ?thanks? I said ?come on?? he then asked as we went back?
Wonder who you really are? we then got back and I was still holding the rose humming the same tune as I was before, ?hey want me to do it?? He asked what you mean. ?Sure, go ahead? I replied.
He then took the petals off and threw them for the wind to carry, I then whispered ?blown away rose petals, carried by the wind, carry my hopes and dreams and send them to the sky.?
He looked at me then smiled ?you always do say that? what did you hoped for?? I giggled a little with his question ?it?s my secret? was my only reply.
?Hey? Do you remember the song that I taught you? The one I always sing?? He asked ?yeah? I then smiled and said ?wanna sing it?? he just nodded. We then sat on the swing together laughing as we sang our song, my favorite song ?The Rose?.
Some say love, it is a river, that drowns the tender reeds.
Some say love, it is a razor, that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower, and you it?s only seed.
When the night has been to lonely, and the night has been to long,
And you say that love is for the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitter snow,
Lays the seed, which with sun?s love, becomes the ROSE.
As we sang, sunrise came and he said ?you know what I like about sunrises?? I looked at him waiting for him to continue, he then said ?what I like about sunrises is that, it?s a new beginning of another day where anything can await. A whole new day to forget the darkness of the night and erase all the pain and bitterness. It is something you can look forward to, with a yearning smile. You understand?? I smiled and then replied ?yeah, I understand, even if the day before went wrong, the sunrise can bring another chance to mend all the hardships, you can face a whole new day to start over again. There is never a dead end if there is a sunrise.? He smiled as well and the sun rose to the horizon. We swung for a while, humming the tune again.
Then a little girl came then said ?brother? It?s 6 and if you don?t come home now mom and dad would be worried? she said ?yeah?? he answered looking a little disappointed, he then looked at me and asked ?lets go?? I stared at him for a while, I remember now, the letter, it said that this will be the last day that I?ll see him and be with him? I wasn?t so sure, I wanted to spend more time with him but I don?t want his parents to worry.
I didn?t have the courage to say that, I want to stay longer, to be with him and to try not to forget him, I want to know who he really was to me and this is the perfect chance to ask him but I just couldn?t bring myself to say it.
After this dream ends I?m sure I won?t remember your face anymore ?Sure, bro, mom and dad might be worried too?? I just said.
We then walked back. On the way we were quiet, trying not wake up his little sister maybe around 4; she fell asleep, it seems that she woke up earlier than what should be, and he was carrying her, he really was tall for his age.
He walked me home then said ?goodbye for now, you won?t forget me right?? ?Yeah I won?t? I said trying not to lose my smile, waving as he continued walking. I said bye silently to myself as I stared at his back.
I hope we meet again? I don?t want to forget you, but it seems that I did? you were my past huh? I don?t want to forget someone as important as you, but I can?t do anything, I can?t remember anything, I want to remember? I want to know who you really are, who you were to me before? I really do hope we meet again.
It was then, that I fell asleep with no dreams, but I don?t know if my spirits were raised or crushed by what I dreamed about.
