She washed away sleepiness and headed to her window… It was sunrise… her favorite view…

She sat on the edge of her favorite place, laid her head and watched her best minutes in the morning occurring right there in front of her eyes… for her, there was nothing in the world more enjoyable than witnessing how the golden strings of the sun making their way into the scattered clouds and blushing the sky with millions of heavenly colors…

She kept watching till she lost all her senses that connect her with the world she's living in… and melted within the beauty of what was uniquely created… She started feeling it … she's actually a part of it… It was overwhelming how relief was flourishing from everything…and so, the need of seeing all that was meaningless at that moment… Slowly, she started closing her eyes, and empowered her ears to pick up the melodies sang by the trees and the lawn when a cool gentle wind decided to pass by… She almost felt the breeze kissing every hair in her head and taking her to another time and space…

He approached to her… and started watching the sunrise with her… his favorite view… he closed his eyes and stepped closer, smelling her hair and folding his arms around her… she laid her head on his chest…

It was their moment… their view… their life together… it was them… and only them… and nothing else mattered… they were united by their hearts and souls, and nothing in the world will tear them apart…

In his unique way, he let her know that too, and that was enough to send a smile to her face and move her hands to hold his, and scarily couldn’t find his arm around her anymore!... She turned around thinking of the worst…Now… She's awake and back to reality and to the wooden spot which she laid her head on… turned around again… and then stood still for a second absorbing the whole situation…She's awake… and she realized that she will spend the rest of her life hunted by the phantom of his presence…

She turned around again… looking at the sun shining… it's only a view… nothing so special about it…since the reason behind the beauty of the sunset, the breeze, and the songs was gone… vanquished… and will never be back… Now…  Non of that all makes sense… Nothing has a meaning anymore… now… she's numb… but unfortunately awake…

She closed the window, dragged herself to her bed, laid down with her head facing a painting of the sunset placed on her favorite corner … and burst into tears...
