“Dawn was breaking over the horizon, shell pink and faintly gold...”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
“We went down into the silent garden.
Dawn is the time when nothing breathes, the hour of silence.
Everything is transfixed, only the light moves.”
― Leonora Carrington
It was years ago, too many to really remember how everything really happened. Yes, I was
Second Life young, and very naive, but one thing that still lives very vividly in my head
is the sadness I was feeling on that day, at the moment of dawn, as I stood in the water,
looking up at the sky, waiting for the new day to light up while I waited for him.
"Is he going to come soon?" I kept asking myself as my hand pressed on my chest to calm my
anxious heart. And I waited and waited, and waited.
He suddenly appeared two hours later. By then, I was in tears feeling ashamed of myself
for having fallen for something so worthless and meaningless, not to me, but to him.
And now that he was there, I didn't know what to do. I had waited for him for hours and now I was
completely clueless about how to approach him, "What an idiot I am" I thought.
However, before I even found the courage to say hi, he said hi to me first.
"Oh my god", I thought, and again, I was completely clueless about what to do.
Do I answer his hello?
Or do I just walk up to him with a smile or wait for him to walk up to me?
Or do I ignore his hello and pretend I didn't hear him?
Or...
Do I just run away and never look back?
I opted for the last choice. It was the hardest choice, but the right one.
It was the only way to protect my heart.
I wasn't ready to jump into an abyss of unreturned love.
A one-sided affair where one would be the winner, the user, and the other would simply be used, the loser.
And so I walked away with my head held high to an unanswered hello
and never looked back knowing that I deserved better.
And since that day, all my dawns have been beautiful and peaceful... even when I wait for them
standing in the water.
We must never forget our worth.
There are already many mediocre things in life, don't let love be one of them.
Thanks For Reading!
Much love,
