update!

she sat under the sycamore tree, eyes dazed , deep in thought.
remembering the promise they made, to meet back at this tree after 2 years after he finished college. it had been 5.
she returned to the tree each day, in case he was late.

she constantly hoped that he would return to her someday.
constantly.
she thought of him.

A rustle of leaves. A person's echoing footsteps.

Her heart skipped a beat. could it really be? her efforts had really not been for nothing? was it him?

...

no one. her imagination, perhaps.
voice quivering, she sang " though you're still with me.. i've been alone all along.."

total and absolute crushing disappointment.

he was never coming back.
alot could happen in 3 years.
silently she hoped he was happy.
that was all she could ever ask for.
all she could ever want.

she hoped that if she could not bring him happiness
he could move on and find someone who could.
she would not selflessly keep him by her side

she stood up.
crushing her paper dreams.
and walked away.
