"Oh my God Hazel, why didn't you tell me before? That's unfair. Why do bad things happen to good people?", Sarah's voice was laced with sorrow.
"It's ok, Sarah. I don't mind. I have decided to move on in my life.", I assured her as I strolled beside the beautiful lake.
"But still, it's so unfair.", she said in dejected voice.
"Ok, I have some work. I'll talk to you later.", I lied because I was in no mood of talking with anyone. There was a storm brewing inside me, especially after watching myself in that damn wedding dress.
I just wanted to forget about everyone else for some moments. The clear water of lake calmed my senses. Sitting down at the edge of lake, I submerged my feet inside the cold water. It felt nice, even though the weather was freezing.
My eyes closed on their own as I relished in the silence.
Turn down the lights
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me
Tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize
Don't patronize me
I hummed these lyrics in a low voice, swaying my head in rhythm. My thoughts were focused on Xavier. I knew I said I'll move on but it's hard. It's so fucking difficult when someone doesn't reciprocate your feelings.
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
I chuckled as our first meeting flashed in my memory. I called him a rich, insolent brat. And the next time, I spilled the coffee all over his shirt. What a freak I was!
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
I didn't realize but when these lines ended, a trail of wetness was flowing down my cheeks.
I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
The night of the ball when we danced, our bodies were glued together. I could feel his heartbeat, in sync with mine. Did he feel anything?
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
"Sei magnifico", I heard an unfamiliar voice behind me.
Turning around, I found a handsome man dressed in a black three piece suit staring at me. He walked towards me and pulled his hand out for me. Gripping his hand, I stood up and brushed the dust off my jeans.
"You have amazing voice.", he said in an exotic accent.
"Umm... Thanks.", I whispered, looking into his deep brown eyes.
