 Memories of Goodbye 

By Yuhime  



When I walked to the edge of the bridge I realized why I was really here. While the wind blew through my black silk-like hair I shed the tears as the memories went by. Each tear for each painful memory. I bent myself over the edge of the bridge as I looked down into the depth of the ocean. "Why is it so painful" I told myself quietly.

"WHY!!" I screamed out loud as I kept on crying my tears.

As I kept on remembering and shedding the tears. I wanted to forget so badly, I wanted to understand why, I wanted to know what the reason was. It hurt inside of me as I had those thoughts going over and over again inside my head. No one helped me out from this pain. No one even tried to help me away from the shadows of memories that kept on haunting me over and over again.

If I wasn’t stupid you never would've been gone. If I never was here then you would still be with me. If I never stood on the edge on this bridge and you wanted to save me. The thoughts pained me.

As I backed a few steps away from the edge, I sat down beside my bag and took the red rose I had beside me. I held it so hard that the thorns made me hand bleed, I didn’t realize the pain of the sharp thorns in the palm of my hand. My pain in the heart was way more painful.

I sat there for a few seconds and tried to figure out how many times I've been here. Tried to remember how many tears I've shed here. Of course I never remembered. As I stood up and walked to the edge of the bridge again, holding the rose tight in my hand I reached it out. "This time... It's really goodbye" I whispered to myself as I let the rose fall down into the ocean and saw it float away.

"Pearl!! Are you coming? It's time to go! It's getting windy!!" As I heard Lillian’s voice from far away in the car it broke me from my trance and I screamed back at her "Yeah I'm coming!! I'm already done!!" As I for the last time turned away and shed my last tears I said:

"Goodbye my first love"
