love pain

i will still be there, 在你關機的手機。
Dragon looked out at the city. From the high rise balcony, everything below looked so small. In the distance, she could see the skyscrapers that shaped downtown. To her left were sparkling mountain lights that flickered red and gold.

Cars that raced by below were a constant reminder that time didn't stop, that life was always moving on.

Everything lay in pieces before her. That faint hope, the dreams that would never be recognized. The numb, and the ringing in her ears, it inspired and destroyed her all at once.


There was something different about her eyes that day. She somehow seemed more distant than usual.

"Are you hungry?" he asked, but she only shook her head and continued  to gaze listlessly out the car window.

The leaves had long since changed to fall colours. He wondered for a moment if she were admiring the scenery. She was a hard woman to read, with as many layers as an onion--and the same capacity to bring people to tears.
