The Scent of January

The moment when your message popped up on my screen. We saw each other once again. All those feelings were too much to handle. I couldn’t wait to ask,

“How have you been?”

“How’s your life lately?”

“Are you getting better?”

I wish you were standing right in front of me. Seeing how my eyes were gazing happily.

For a moment, I wish the time would stop for us.

For a moment, I wish there was no distance between us.

For a moment, I realize there is still hope for us.

For a moment, I realize that hope itself is not enough.

For a moment, I realize that we don’t have much time and everything is vanish just like a snap of the fingers.

It was all only for a moment until it becomes memories, once again.
