The masked man

I was all alone.It was night.I was wearing a fancy dress along with a mask.Until a stranger came to me.He had silver hair.He was by himself.

We didn't exchange names.He seemed a mysterious guy.But I felt something familiar.Like I knew him.

It isn't possible.He offered me his hand.We danced.I was never good at dancing.I just went with his flow.

He leaned closer to me.But I stopped him.I told him that there was someone in my heart and I wouldn't forgive myself if I had betrayed him.

He accepted it.The new year just came.I saw him yesterday.He touched my lips with his fingers.It made me feel uncomfortable.He cornered me against the wall.

Although he was wearing a mask,his intentions...It almost felt like he was fillied with lust.But I didn't allow him to touch my lips or my body.Because I reminded him that I have someone that I love.

I even told him the vows my beloved and I had made.

He asked me "where is he?"

I told him he was on a journey and I was waiting for him.

He told me

"It is better to forget him" or "what if he doesn't come back?"

I responded to him

"Who said patience is easy?I am going to wait for him no matter what."

I was ready to leave when he grabbed my hand.

"Can you stay here,for a little longer?"

How could I say no?His voice was soft.And his look on his face.

I accepted and we stayed a little longer.I don't remember what happened next.I wish the guy with the mask,is my beloved.

No matter where you are,please take care of yourself.
