It was by the entrance to the old building by the river side that Ryan confessed his love for her. It was here that they shared dreams and hopes of a future together.
And it was here that he broke the news to her. That they could never be together. The reasons were too many. It was on this ground that her first tears fell. And it was here, by the entrance to their building, that they met, for the last time.
The building still stands, old and weary. Waiting for two lovers to awaken it, to drench it in their love once more.

DeleteDear A,
ReplyDeleteI'm a little confused. Did they just part and leave their memories there or did they both die there? Lovely imagery and bittersweet story.
shalom,
Rochelle
Hi Rochelle, they have only parted and gone their separate ways. Thanks for your kind comments :)
DeleteI loved how you phrased the ending. It's sad though, that they had to part. Somethings are never to be I guess.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for reading Soumyaa :) In life too, somethings are never meant to be sadly.
DeleteI like how the building becomes the witness to, and the loser from, their dying love.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Sarah :) Yup, the building is a monument of their dying or rather undying love!
DeleteThat was so sad. Very well written. Lucy
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading Lucy. Life is not always happy, unfortunately.
DeleteLovely story but a sad ending. Sometimes it's better to part than make each other miserable later. Well written with good atmosphere. : ) ---Susan
ReplyDeleteThat's true, Susan. Sometimes it's better to part with fond memories of each other. Thanks for your kind comment :)
