The Other Side of Me

Skipped work for no reason, she sits alone in her tiny flat, she walks around like a zombie. Coffee and dark chocolate, she stays in bed half the afternoon. She gets up, decides that it's about time that she stars a new drawing, but she falls back into bed. It's been six months since he left her for her best friend, and she's still not a bit over him. She gets up again, with a blank mind, she starts drawing and just like every time, the drawing is a memory of theirs. Sunshine coming inside from the squares of the wooden-glass window. A white breakfast table with a vase of flowers, pancakes and fruits. Her cup of coffee and his cup of tea. She smells the mix of flowers and coffee as she draws, she sees him smiling at her. She leaves her drawing and goes back to bed in tears. Why did he leave her? She wishes she knew, it would've made all her grieving easier. But he just left, saying that he doesn't love her anymore, that they're not compatible anymore, that he...

It's up to you, to live the life you want to live, or that that people want you to live. It's up to you, to be who you want to be, or what others want you to be. It's up to you, to lead a happy life or a sad one. It's up to you, to know you can, or to find excuses. It's up to you, to face your problems, or to hide in saying I can't.

It's up to you, to believe in your power or to believe in you're weakness. It's up to you, to have a reason to live, or a reason not to live. It's up to you, to try or to give up. It's up to you, to believe, or to lose hope. It's up to you, to fall in love or to not believe in love. It's up to you, t...

It was a fairy tale, it was sweeping her off her feet, it was love at first sight, it was the unmistakable energy between them. It was in his touch, it was in her smile, it was in the way they looked at each other. It was in how much she missed him when he wasn't around, it was in how he always wanted to be with her. It was in how she always found the right words when she talked to him, it was in him never running out of words when they were together. It was in their comfortable silence, it was in how they needed no words to understand each other. It was in their friendship, it was in their love relationship. It was in their hearts, it was in their minds. It was in their good times, it was in their worst of times. It was in her support, it was in his caring. It was in their arguing, it was in their fighting. It was in their smiles, it was in their laughter. It was in his kisses, it was in her hugs. It was in their tears, it was in their pain.
