THE
SADDEST SONG I´VE EVER HEARD
“Pick a star on the dark horizon and follow
the light.
You'll come back
when it's over
No need to say
goodbye”
The girl was
seated in a coffee shop savoring her double latte; a soft melody in the
background filled her heart, the lyrics from Regina Spektor´s song made a
single tear pop from her eye rolling slowly through her cheek.
A bunch of memories bombarded her mind, but
just one in particular stuck in her thoughts as every time she listened to the
saddest song she has ever heard.
The airport was
crowded that morning, men running with suitcases, mothers with crying children,
people who were trying to find the right directions. She was there in the
middle of the chaos, standing at the other side of the door, holding briefly
her hand against the crystal, contemplating the love she was going to leave
behind.
With the tip of
her finger she wiped the tear from her face; she drank the last drop of coffee
and with determination walked out of the shop to the raining day.
Every night, the
girl carefully observed the horizon, hoping to see the starlight. “Soon the
moment would come” she repeated to herself.
