Bangchan || Something about Us

The night was freezing, an autumn night. They were both sitting together in that café by the beach, you with your cup of tea, just the way you liked it, the way he'd remembered you loved it, and him with a glass of water in his hands… Daft Punk's "Something About Us" was playing in the background, just like the first time you'd gone to that café together, only now it felt different… Perhaps that first time, the song playing now had been a sign. What had never been between you was now an awkward prelude to the end of everything you had dreamed of. You clutched your cup, hoping he wouldn't say the words you dreaded so much, and just as the lyrics began, he started to speak.
"Maybe... It's not the right time, or maybe I'm not the right one... There's so much between us, and you know I've loved you, but... I don't think this is the moment. I'm sorry," she said, her eyes breaking, and you could almost hear both of your hearts shattering like glass. You didn't want it to end, but just like the beautiful and fleeting song, so too had your relationship been: short, tender, full of emotion, rhythms, and nights that were only yours and that never became anything more than that... Memories. There was never a label between you, never anything more than the intention to be everything at a time when you weren't meant to be anything.
