One year had passed. The memories still coming back on her mind that repeatedly seen in the golden sunset that shimmer at the meadow. A tragedy that had happened in her life , a bad dream, that she couldn’t take all the heartache, her life had no meaning at all, her days had been darkened like a rainy cloud, her days had been harder to live in each day of her living.It was eight days in August, the night was cruel, and the wind hardly blew. Joe had driven his car going back to the city despite a stormy weather, spending time at his weekend vacation so that he could think about his promise to Sheila, their dreams that they will grow old together, the family that they dreamed about, the loved that he swore beyond the stars that flickered at the sky. He drove his car at the maximum speed, he did not care about the slippery high ways, and even the darkened night that made his vision blurred because of heavy rains. All that he wanted now was to see and talk with Sheila. He could not wait until tomorrow to tell her that he was willing to give himself wholeheartedly. And for this evening he wanted to make it special memories that they could never be forgotten, a night, they could take them to the rest of their life.
Sheila was his life since then, he loved Sheila more than Sheila could ever be known, just like the way Sheila felt for him.
However, time is so untamed for the two hearts that loved truthfully, endlessly. Joe met with an accident and passed away on that night, all that she heard was Joe voice shouting loudly. She didn’t know that it was the last time she could ever hear Joe’s voice but not in that way she wished to be happened. Her anger was kept inside her soul, her love had been vanished away, like a rain that goes back freely to the sea, and her passion had been buried as deep as the ocean.

Tears fell from her eyes, her grief etched on sand that can be seen in every corner of the shore. She missed Joe, his smile that she could not be able to be seen since the day Joe was gone through, his eyes that dazzle in sunset. She missed the laughter that sounded familiar in a moment the wave danced at the shingle. She sighed at the wide ocean just like the way Joe and her done before. Walking together, sharing their dreams with each other, laughing at themselves for the time. They had fun just like when they were younger, but those moments were just painted on her remembrance that makes her feel weak and to live her life in a misery.
She felt the warm breeze that deeply brushed inside of her, like a pain through her veins. Joe was her life, but. How? Joe was not on her side, that now she could not be with him . Where was the promise that he whispered a thousand times. Where was the love that he promised that it would last forever. All of these were like a lost soul that hides on a shadow of loneliness that was a blanket by the bitter tears

She walked along on a tide of solitude. She let her body drown. She will follow Joe on the entire life. There she could be with Joe that no one can take them apart, they would fulfill their promises that their love will last forever until the last minute of their lives.
