Article from wwenglish , it is really moving me and really a touching story !
I was walking on this small path again, the same time, the same place. Everything
was so familiar, yet some kind of genial. During those four years, I always
liked to take a walk with you side by side here. Now you had been far away from
me. Nobody took me a message about you. Where are you? Do you often recall the
old scenery like I do?
The path was so quiet. I looked up into the sky: it was quite blue and also
a bit grey. There was some golden cirrus cloud which was outlined by the falling
sun. The empty campus beside, the empty playground behind, the empty road ahead,
everything was empty. Perhaps no one liked to go out and played in this windy
and chilly late autumn afternoon. A little melancholy seized me. Where are you?
Do you frequently recall the old place like I do?
One autumn afternoon in the first year I was at school, as a freshman I felt
so lonely and disconsolate. You came to me with a smile. I felt embarrassed
to face you, a stranger. It seemed that you had read my mind. So you said nothing,
just sit beside me in a distance. A warm stream welled up into my heart and
wiped away all my melancholy. Where are you now? Do you still remember that
day like I do?
One autumn afternoon in the second year I was at school, I was sitting beside
the football field staring blankly because of the bad marks I had got in the
exam. You came to me and tried to talk with me. As my good friend, you consoled
me to be forward-looking, “once failure meant nothing” you said: “who laugh
best, who laugh last.” Where are you now? Do you often recall these words like
I do?
One autumn afternoon in the third year I was at school, we were walking hand
in hand through the path. You promised to love me forever and take care of me
in my rest of life. So many touching words lingered in the autumn wind made
my eyes brimmed with tears. It seemed no end of the road, no end of our talking,
and no end of our walking. Where are you now? Do you still remember these
promises like I do?
One autumn afternoon in the last year we were together, I was busy in preparing
the coming postgraduate exam. I got lots of jitters. You walked with me
intimately on the path and tried to encourage me. You said: “whatever you do,
just do it conscientiously with all your efforts, then no regret left.” Where
are you now? Do you also remember these points like I do?
It was not until a falling leaf breaking my train of thought that I realized
that I had lost in memory. I looked far into the distance as if you were still
waking beside me. Your voice echoed to my ears. Your gentle touch caressed on
my cheeks. Dear, where are you now? Do you know I am here missing you silently
in the old place, in an autumn afternoon?
