Her Resolve
I wonder, since when did we became so distant from each other’s grasps? Didn’t we promise? That one day we’ll get out this endless loop of trails and misfits? But then why? Why did we lost sight of each other? I don’t know how much time and days had already passed. But I know something quite well. And that’s the fact that your touch doesn’t feel so warm on mine. That smile you once graced me doesn’t feel so sincere either. Every time when I wished to be near you, you’ll give me a curt nod and let me, but that spark we once had has been diminishing as days gone by. Those eyes held a distant feel, almost longing for something. I knew who that was. I knew who has recently captured your heart. Every day, you’d go check up on her, make sure she was alright, and when it came to me. I can see that you’re trying but I know well enough that there wasn’t much of concern shown. Every time we get matched, you’ll always go easy on her, give exceptions to her, place her near the dungeon, you’d say how sorry you were for going rough on me, but aren’t you just lying to yourself? Those times when you’d hold her close during an event in the manor, everyone would say how you both looked so perfect together. You two would try to match each other, while me? It’ll be a simple dress or gown that wouldn’t even be too noticeable. People don’t remember that there was a time where you stood next to me, danced with me, laughing as you twirled me around on the dance floor, we’ll always have fun, no matter how much this silly little act were doing could ruin your reputation as a hunter Then one day, it all disappeared when she came along. You changed so much, that day. Your smile became brighter, it became livelier. Though I didn’t mind. But then you’d spend more time with her, all those sweet moments we once had were now your pass times with her. You and she became closer every day, and every day you strayed farther away from me, it was getting harder to reach, and before I knew it. I lost you. For good. In the end of the day, I was the only one holding back. For I wanted to be the one for you. I wanted to be the person standing next to you. I wanted to be with you. Yet, I was a fool to even hope that things will go back to the way they were. “Hey sis” I turned my attention to the owner of the voice, brilliant red orbs stared back at me. “Let’s go home there’s nothing here for us anyways” She smiled, I blinked twice before returning that cheeky smile. It was true, there wasn’t really much left here for us. The manor’s doors opened again for how many decades. And outside waiting for me is one of the dearest people close to my heart. My sister.
I understand, that things will become bumpier now we are all free. But, I have learned a lesson. I won’t stop loving you, but I will let you go. Your happiness is important to me after all. So for me, please grant me this wish of seeing that happiness till it’s my end. Please don’t forget those days we’ve spent. And if you’re feeling down, I’m right here to help you smile again.
