I feel the cool breeze against my face as I stroll along the dirt trail.
Rays of sunlight shining through the gap between the mass of leaves from the trees surrounding me.
The forest has been my best confidant for as long as i could remember.
A feeling so strong it overwhelms me as I recall the times we shared.
It is a feeling so confusing that even I don't fully comprehend.
Right now, the pain and sorrow is surfacing as my eyes are brimming with tears.
I don't understand.

I don't understand.
Why do I feel this way when the memories flashing through my mind are those of our happy times.
Finally, after what seems like forever, I have set foot at a clearing some distance away from the entrance of the forest.
It's not much, but the lake is as beautiful as it can get.
I sat down at my usual place, under the oak tree nearest to the lake,
and as though a barrier has been opened, all the times we've shared came flooding into my mind.
The tears which I have been trying hard to hold back is now flowing down my face. Even so, I'm making no effort in trying to stop them.
How much time passed I do not know, but the sky has started to turn a slight shade of orange.
The tears I've shed has long dried up, those memories are now safely stored somewhere in my mind, and my feelings are all sorted out.
I stand and stare at the patch of sky above the lake.
A smile spread gently across my face, as I turn to head on home.
Thanks for the memories.
