How It Was Before

History

   She turned her blue gaze in the direction of the undecorated body length mirror in her room, assessing her outfit before heading to school. She hoped the other girls wouldn’t tease her about her cozy aqua colored sweater and skinny black jeans, as she was already feeling cross that morning. Her hair was smoothed down with a thin light grey headband to accessorize her silver white hair, hair that he had once ruffled when hugging her. She quickly wiped away a stray tear before swiping her book bag from the carpeted floor and headed to the front door. With a call to her father in the overflowing study to inform him she was leaving, she stepped onto the front porch into the pouring rain, closing the door as her grey converse becoming soaked within minutes.



A perfect match to the days mood.



   Across the empty street, a boy was waiting, a grey hood pulled over his short dark hair to protect him, though the coffee colored locks were still soaked. An old companion of hers, so to say, but she couldn’t distinguish his taller person in the rain, though she yearned to see him once again. His stormy eyes fixed upon her as she walked along the sidewalk with no escape from the gloomy weather. He missed her, but he couldn’t ever be near her again, because he had messed up for the last time. She missed him, but she didn’t want him around, because there wasn’t anything left for them anymore. For them, it was too late.



Nothing can fix what’s been broken, nothing could change the past.



    She had longed for a chance to see him, but she knew it would never happen. She continued to school, unaware of her ex behind her on the opposing walkway, watching her leave as he had a year ago. He stood there, a single drop in the ocean of her past. He wished she’d turn back and see him, but she didn’t. He yearned for her to run into his embrace as she once had and never leave it again, but he knew it would never happen. The girl that was his whole world, his everything, belonged to someone else now. He had missed his chance, and because of what happened back then, she had let him go. She was gone from his life for good. Now all that was left was the vast distance in between them.



Nothing is how it used to be, nothing could go back to how it was before.
