It was on a foggy night and I was not feeling sleepy that night. I
wanted to have some coffee. So I went to the kitchen and started boiling milk.
Then I received a message. It was her and she wanted to meet me at the coffee
shop. I stopped boiling the milk and put on my brown leather jacket and started
walking. The coffee shop was far away. I thought I would walk for some distance
and then get into a bus. I was walking all alone on the road on that foggy
night. The way to the coffee shop is a very lonely path. I was the only person
walking on that lonely road.
I lowered my head as I walked forward and I observed a shadow of
mine. The shadow was dark and it was just like me. As I was walking I observed
another shadow, a faded one but was so much like me. As I looked at the faded
shadow I remembered that moment when I wanted to say that she is the most
important person for me in this world. I always wanted to admit the truth that
she has an angelic face but I never did. I always wanted to say that I loved writing
poetry because she loved reading it instead I joked that I was inspired from
William Shakespeare. I wanted to express the fact that she is much more than a
friend to me but I never dared to. I wanted to hug her when I met her after a
long time but I didn't. I wanted to go on late night walks with you but I went
alone all the time. I wanted to say you that I cried a lot when she loved
someone else but the other shadow of mine said that I was so happy for you
both. I wanted to take her on a boat ride and shout loudly in the middle of the
sea that I loved her very much but I was covered by my shadow. I could never
admit to her that she is the most special person in my life.
I could sense some heat in my body and I stopped walking for
a minute. I was tired, not because of walking for so long, I was tired because
of the mask which I had been wearing when I am with her.
I felt disappointed seeing the faded shadow of mine covered by the
dark shadow. Then I realized that I have walked till the coffee shop. I could
see her waiting outside the coffee shop, she smiled after she has seen me
walking towards the coffee shop. I walked towards the coffee shop. As I was
walking I could observe only one
shadow of mine.....
