Every time I see her reading glasses I feel as if she were still around. I can even smell her in the air; hear her whistling in the kitchen as she prepares one of her salads. When that happens, the world seems a little brighter and I feel a little happy. But once the spell is over, everything crumbles over me and I can barely breathe. My heart aches and all I can do is held my tears.
When I imagine her, she’s always active, full of energy, ready to have a party. But deep inside, she seems lonely. Then I see myself just walking to her and then she smiles. But the imagined scene always ends there, so I try not to appear too soon to look at her the most I can, but I always walk to her, sooner or later, because I need of that smile to convince me that she’s okay.
Our last day, as we walked down the street from the mall, each of us with bags full of groceries in our hands, she suddenly stopped and let her bags fell down. With the rattling sound of the cans rolling in the floor I asked her if she was okay, feeling a cruel grasp in my heart as she just looked at me saying nothing. Then she pointed at the sky, her eyes shining with children’s glee. A gust of wind passed and she was gone.
There was an investigation trying to find her, for months I was even suspected of murder. And of course nobody would believe my word of how she really disappeared, taken away by the evening wind. Sometimes I doubt of my sanity, but then I remember the tales of old, of faerie maids getting lost since a very young age in the mortal world and then falling in love with humans. Is then when I thank her for picking me and wish she never gets lost again, because I know that her real home was never with me at her side.
