Playlist: wait for me

Shane's POV
I was the only child and my mum passed away due to a seizure and I was only 9 years old then and it was so hard to accept her demise. I was broken for years and expressed my pain through art.

Days, months and years passed by and I knew she wasn't coming back but I dreaded that feeling. So I couldn't keep crying bitter tears for her because I know that's what she wants. I knew this because the therapist hired by my dad trained me in the ways of letting go of the past and now I feel so light-headed and so  free in my own skin.

I now feel the will to live, I'm no longer the little boy who cried in silence everyday due to the pain I felt. I am the guy who lives with no regrets in life and keeps pushing to make the best out of it.

I feel like Valerie has a past that she's holding on to and it's making her feel caged in her own skin and she doesn't know how to express it, I can see the pain in her eyes just like I felt years ago.

I don't want to see her going through that pain and I don't know why but I feel like, I could somehow help her to be free from the winds of the past and I take it as my mission.

I snap out of my thoughts and I feel the urge to paint. It's already 11pm but I feel like painting so I grab a canvas, paint brushes, a palette and Crayola paint
**********************
I'm finally done after an hour and I view my artwork. It's a painting of Valerie with tears at the brim of her eyes and a small smile.

I won't rest till I see her shed tears of joy like I painted on the canvas, I will make sure to help her from this day forward and no one should live with pain forever. I promise myself and put the painting in my art studio which is the room next to mine.

I jump into my bed and drift off to sleep.
