See You In Reality

In that instant, a flow of memories rushed towards me. Tears welled up inside me as all my fears were revealed. The music played on, creating images and persons of the past, truth in itself that was uncovered. The sound of the piano, of movement across the keys, filled my heart as the tears flowed over the brims of my eternally golden green eyes. The recognition of my foolishness repulsed me; I hid my face in my arms. The beauty of all those times we spent together…the lies behind the moments…the dangerous truth that intervened once in a while…the way I thought fairytales could come true…just the way he smiled…1

I blinked away my foolish tears and angrily bit my blanket. Passion for any one man was too strong a feeling at my age. I knew that as well as I knew the sun might not shine tomorrow morning. Yet I wondered, in the midst of all the faded loss of time, if there was still a chance, a place where I could change it all; where I could stop where I messed up and replay the song. Maybe there was such thing as dimensional time travel, where we could go to other worlds or go back in time. There were about as many stars in the sky as there were times where I had thought about it, hoped it were true.2

As I sit here tonight, my fingers sprawled across the keyboard, I know the supernatural doesn’t exist in this life. Only the breath of God tells the truth in my world, and He is the only unnatural thing I will ever be able to know. But as I am still a child, I resist reality and embrace belief in other worlds. There is only so much time in my own corner of the world, and only I have the power to change it. Disastrous chance may occur, I assure you, but out of it will come a beautiful collision, just as He promised. If the sun does not shine for me tomorrow, remember this one thing: my corner of this life hasn’t been demolished…it has only just begun to change the world because of my living.3

This is the secret I have never told anyone.

    nah it isnt cheesy haha. it was really nice, to no how strongly the child believes in God and believes tomorrow will be better.
    It sounds very mature for a childs thoughts but it was really well written.

    Very well written, beautifully, even. I love the indirect plot, open to interpretation and open to fit so many scenarios. The descriptions were beyond breathtaking and, though, it was short, it really captivated me. I don't have many more words for it, but I love the continued reference to music, the keyboard and the like. It really gives it a deeper feel, I think. Very beautiful. Thanks for your entry!
