A Line

“Take Care. Maybe one day you’ll escape your past. If you do, look for me.”

I cried. Yes I did.

You cried. Yes you did.

Why? Why it was necessary for us to walk away. Indeed, the train to 2046 will never bring us back. When we get there, we will not return to the point where everything started. Yes, we will continue wandering to some remote patches of our past, in separate ways.

“I once fell in love with someone. After a while she was gone. I couldn't stop wondering if she loved me or not. I went to 2046 hoping to find her there. But I never found her.”

The sky was gray. It was raining. I was standing there, waiting for the train. I thought you were going to meet me there. I waited. I waited for next hundred cycles. Finally, I went aboard 2046, the last train, the last cycle. The thought of you being there was killing me.

I arrived at 2046 station alone.

“Love is all a matter of timing.”

It could be that you went ahead in 2046. But I could never know and would never know. Maybe I got the wrong time. I got the wrong train.

My heart was telling me you were just around. Your voice echoed faintly in the air.

The sky was purple.

I can’t return to 2007 anymore. I can’t return to 2008. I am alone now. In 2046. Maybe, I should stop searching for her. They said when I go to 2046, I can capture my lost memories. I can get the wish of my heart, one way or another. I can see the rainbow.

“In love you can't bring on a substitute.”

Your kisses are haunting me. And my lips are craving for your lips. My tongue is searching for your tongue. And my body is looking for that energy that you and only you can provide, like the one we used to have when our bodies collide. And my soul is longing for your soul.

I am not sure. But, I am sure of one thing, only one thing, we should not have taken the 2046 train.
