Life's moments - part one

They walked hand in hand down the beach. It was sunset. Clouds in the horizon with an orange sun lighting the background.

Everything seemed so right. So - romantic like. Like the stuff you would probably find in a chic flick. Things like that. With the wind's breeze against their faces, he would often look at her to see her just floating away but he was happy because she was right there with him. It would have probably been the only single thought he wanted all his life.

Up until that moment. When she uttered those words, 'I think we should take some time off from each other.'

Suddenly all this light pink world collided in his eyes. What was the sudden reason which lead to this moment?

'Why?'

His heart was being torn apart from the inside. Tears he would hold back from sadness and weeping his soul away. Life as it was hard on him and he counted on her as his support through the thick and thin.

'I need to re-evaluate my life's decisions - including you.'

Have I done something wrong for this to suddenly come on?'

'I really don't know what to tell you except that right now I need my own space and time alone.'

He let go of her hand. She then knew that she was breaking his heart by saying what she said. Any fool could see that. But she couldn't help it. She wanted to have her own time alone to see what she needs to focus on, perhaps even look into things a little deeper to analyze what actually needs to be done at this point of time and what to ignore.

'And what about us?'

'I don't know what to tell you. I'm sorry.'

So that's it?

A few months from knowing each other, becoming more than friends. Maybe not lovers. But definitely something. An item if you will.

I guess more or less things can be like that these days if you set both your feet into the deep end, huh?
