Today marks the moment when I have stopped wishing. When I have stopped hoping. When I have stopped dreaming for someone to come out of nowhere and save me. If I've learned anything, it's that you can't count on the universe to throw people your way, and that I don't really need people at all. It may seem selfish and naive of me, but the thing is, I can't waste my time anymore. I can't waste my time waiting for someone who'll never come, and trust me, I've been waiting since forever. Yet from today onward, you shall no longer see me endlessly gazing ahead, trying to find that someone, that anyone, who might sweep me off my feet. From today onward, nothing shall be holding me back from marching forward upon the road I still believe I'm destined to walk.
"Do not fear", she said. "Do not cry", she whispered, and as she took him into her arms, he let loose a sigh, knowing that he is now safe. Safe from the dreaded shadows of the forest, safe from the ghastly spectres that relentlessly hunt him. He is safe, but only for an instant. Once she lets go, once she has to say goodbye, he will have to get back on his feet and run. Run like he's never ran before. Then if he is lucky, he might not only escape, but find shelter before twilight sets upon the world. He wonders what his future holds, and when the storms shall thunder once again.
