The alarm on my phone woke me up from my deep sleep, my eyes snapped open, it didn’t make that much of a difference anyway, my room was all dark, the blinds were shut.
My body felt numb, the coldness hitting my feet when I stepped out of bed, it was February after all.
“Good morning” i said, walking into the kitchen, my aunt had already made coffee, that was great, it distracted me from the faint ‘good morning’ that she answered.
“It’s gonna be really cold today” she said, taking a sip of her coffee.
Great, the cold was killing me, the winter was dark and long, the sky was always cloudy, and you couldn’t feel the sun.
Its noon, my classes should be over soon, I turn around and look at Michael, he looks back and smiles, I smile back. I am going to miss this, the bell rings, I grab my things and start walking outside, with Michael by my side.
“Hey, do you want to get some coffee at my house?” I ask, we always do this, go to my house, have coffee, listen to music, watch a movie.
“I actually can’t today, I have a rotary thing” he says, I give him a look and pout, he just chuckles.
We walk together to the U-bahn station, he kisses my cheek goodbye and we go our separate ways. I put my earphones in, music slowly getting into my system, cheering me up, note by note.
The train stops and I get out, walking slowly towards my house, I look up at the sky, it’s blue, surprisingly, the rays of the sun shining, a cloud covering it.
I walk to the rhythm of the music, my steps matching the beat, suddenly, the clouds started blowing away, the sun started shining.
I felt it on my cheek first, then it travelled all the way down to my arms and hands, it was warm and welcoming, a familiar feeling, yet it had been a long time since the sun had warmed me up.
The sun was here, I felt it, my eyes started tearing up, it had been a long winter after all.
NOTES:
Hi, so this is a different type of text, i decided to write this cause i was listening to a playlist that i made exactly a year ago, i made it because i felt the sun warm up my skin for the first time after/during the winter, it sounds kinda dumb but it's really shocking not being able to feel the sun, its awful, i remember crying tears of joy when i came home that day, so yeah, that's it, i hope you enjoy!
