The Search
We met each other one summer day.
From within a faceless crowd
someone was smiling back.
that's all I could remember.
~~~
Why waste our time in search of something
Always waiting...
Always wanting...
~~~
Lizzy...
Hm...?
How did we meet?
Oh, c'mon Sharon, you've asked me that a thousand times!
Besides, we didn't just 'meet'
we found each other.
You mean, I found you
Yes... I got lost and you found me
I had no idea where I was"
And it's been 5 years now, haven't it?
Yes
5 long years.
You know, It says here in this book
that you can find your soul mate that way
What?
Asking directions?
No, silly...
It's like...
walking in a crowd and meeting a complete stranger
feeling like you've met before...
It's like
you've read too many fantasy books
Did you feel that way when I met you?
Don't know...
I was lost remember?
I was too miserable to notice.
Lizzy?
Hm?
You think
we would ever find our soul mates in this lifetime?
Maybe...
Maybe not.
years...
We've been through everything
haven't we, Sharon?
But is this all there is to it?
Lizzy
Hm?
Do you feel it?
Feel what?
This is it!
I can feel that person is very near
Who?
My soul mate!
that person is very close indeed
as if that person is right beside me...
I just know
today is the day
You always say that
but you never find him anyway
But today is different!
I can feel it!
Yeah, right!
Isn't there anything else in that head of yours
but this soul mate shit?
But...
There are so many things in this world!
so many things I want to do...
there must be more to life than searching for someone
who may not even exist!
But Lizzy...
I'm leaving.
No...
I want to stay here.
Please Lizzy, stay here with me...
No.
~~~
Isn't it funny?
How we seem to drift through life
searching for something
or someone to make us complete
... And time just seems to drift away ...
I find myself in a tavern,
with a child crying by my feet.
He looks so helpless
his face full of filth
... I want to protect you ...
Why do you cry?
I have lost my way and cannot find mother
And a group of bad men are out chasing me
What do they want from you?
I don't know
But they mean to hurt me
for there is fear when I see them
Come with me, little one
they won't dare touch you if they see me near
Now don't cry
Come.
I will help you look for your mother
Where did you see her last?
I don't know
but it was a high place
where you feel like flying
How does she look like?
She looks a bit like you
and a bit like me
Not much...
but let us see
I know of a high place
where the strong wind makes you feel like flying
Do you see anyone you know?
Not yet
Keep looking
She would be searching for you as well
There! Right there!
The mother talks to her child
...
I've been looking for you for so long!
Where have you been?
But now we are back together
there is nothing more to worry about
Come now let's go home...
Without a backward glance
they leave me
Such are young children.
Now again I am alone
But wait...
there in the crowd is a familiar face...
Who could it be?
Is it from the past?
Yes
From my past...
my dear sister...
How long has it been since I last saw you?
No reply
Don't you recognize me?
It is I,
your sister
Yes...
I know it is you...
and I know it's been long
for it's been seven years since you've died
Me?
Dead?
You can't be serious!
It's true.
There had been an accident.
We lost you that day.
There was such a crowd.
No...
It can't be true!
How could it be when I am here now?
Could it be that you are in search of something?
Of someone that would make you complete?
Could it be that you cannot rest until you find it?
Yes.
That is true.
I am searching for something...
all these years I have thought that I was alive
when in reality there was no life within me
But
What is it that I long for?
Please...
Take me to the one that would make me
complete.
The place quivers
and seems to vanish.
When it clears, I find myself in the same spot.
In the exact same place.
In front of me
descending a flight of stairs,
is Sharon.
There is sadness in her eyes.
She looks up.
Her face starts to beam.
Lizzy!
You've come back to me!
Sharon...
it was you all along...
Lizzy...
Please don't leave me again...
I'm sorry...
if I only held on
then perhaps
I could have
... stayed ...
The wind blows
everything turns to mist
carrying everything away
leaving nothing behind
Only memories.
