Traveling Tears

Short story

 

 

My eyes were drawn to you as I saw you in the distance. 

I know you didn’t want to be noticed at all, as you tried to hide your face deep within the corner of your seat. But I did.

As a matter of fact, I couldn’t take my eyes of you.

You were absolutely beautiful!

 

You were all of perfection, except for the tears that were slowly rolling down your chiseled cheek bones.

Would it be wrong to say, I seemed to find a strange but odd beauty in them as well? Yes perhaps, but I did.

 

My mind traveled into the depths of your tears and into your heart.

It was there I searched deep into your soul. 

I was a bit hesitant, as I actually felt my body begin to tremble

with your pain in side of me. 

 

My world was now a blank page as I had entered into yours.

The pain I felt had sickened my heart. 

It felt as if the weight of world was upon it as it was so desperately trying to beat, but with no avail.  

 

I felt time stand still, as I began to weep uncontrollably.

I knew your pain was caused from a heartbreak like no other before.

I could feel the hurt travel through my veins like liquid poison.

It consumed me and I smiled because I knew now that the hurt could be lessened by the touch of a hand, a caring heart, a voice of reason.

 

So I stood up from the seated crowd and made my way slowly

across the train towards you.

Your eyes still filled with puddles of sorrow

as you still remained blind to my approach.

 

Close enough to touch your hand now and as I sat in the empty seat next to you, I began to wipe the tears from your eyes as mine still flowed.

I’m sorry…I’m sorry for all the pain that you feel,

but most of all I’m sorry I’m the one who caused it. 

I shall never leave you again, you are my life.

I know now without you, there will never be me.

Please forgive me!

Can we now travel trough the rest of time together?
