The Glare

The Glare

A Story by Eyvindur
"

A moment that I lived through and thought someone might be able to relate to.

"
The moment I will never forget was the last time I spent time with her.
The last time I saw you was really something so haunting. It was such a beautiful day, the most perfect of weather. We had just broken up but, we seemed as we should of saw each other. I met with her and we hung out at the park near by my house, chatting over our daily blunders. She brought her dog, we played with him and walked around until we found a slightly more private area that had a slight incline. We lied our body's down, threw the dog a bone so he could be distracted. We chatted as if nothing had ever changed, but we both felt something so strange. After a little while past we took out my phone, took a photo, and then she had to go back home. Standing our selfs up we looked at each other, with a slight ---- pause.
I could see her eye shine and face starting to turn red.
I hugged her almost as it was an instinct. We looked at each other, holding on so tightly. I gave in, as my lips touched hers, the moment that had past felt as it slowed down time to the point where I could hear the wind hit the grass. I felt a could water drop hit on to my face, but there was no rain.
We pulled away and I saw the beautiful face that I loved, was so heart broken and warm, the rain ran down her face and I couldn't find my words to say. I hugged her, feeling her chest move violently from every sorrow filled noise she tried to hold within. It caused me pain but I held my composure, holding my cloud from forming drops. After the sun had set to twilight, we had to go. We looked at each other, she says that I must walk away for she did not feel strong enough to just get up and go. It took me a few breaths but, I said my goodbye and turned my back walking away. I told my self I wouldn't look back, but my back fell weak as I couldn't turn away. For a slight glance , she was still in my sight, staring me away, with a face red and wet, I pushed my self to a point of pain to walk away. I don't know how long she stood there, or what she was thinking, but I still think of the moment,
she gave me that goodbye glare.
