Regret
She was walking along the beach, thinking about the past. Quietly reminiscing what had been, thinking about so many things yet longing for only that one moment to happen again, to be given the chance to go back in time and take it back; that one thing that has caused her all this pain.
It was dark but the moon was lighting her night like a lamp in the darkness; she absently observed the leaves dancing in the wind. Thinking how unfair it was that the leaves were dancing when she was dying inside. She sat on the sand hugging her knees and placing her head bowed between them. She wants to shield her face from the moon; she doesn’t want her to witness her hurting. She was covering her face from the sand; she does not want them to see her moment of weakness. She was fighting, trying to be strong, telling the world that she can make it, to prove that she cannot be broken.
She was trying to hold it in, tried to stop the tears from falling. She wanted to keep it all to herself, wanted nobody else to share her hurt.
Then the tears fell, she couldn’t hold it in anymore. She cried silently.
Slowly standing she picked up a small stone and with all her might threw it across the water, wishing that like the stone she could just throw away her pain..
She sat back down not minding the time.
Not thinking what would happen next.
She just sat there,
Waiting…
And she waited…
For that one thing to wake her up…
For that one thing to save her…
