she sat on the bench, waiting...

- are you waiting for someone?
- my friend is coming
- are you sure?
- he said he'll always be there
- you mean here
- well ...
- you just missed him (?) ... he left
- but ...
- ... you have to go on, you can't expect him to wait a life time
- it wasn't that long
- it was to him

she never meant to do it, it happened somehow
ironically happened
he suffocated her, so she said
she couldn't explain it and he couldn't understand it

he found everything passing him by
everyone was growing
he was shrinking

he felt small,

imprisoned

chained

alienated

he wanted to change,
not that he was scared

he needed to

he had to

he couldn't wait anymore.
...
so he did
he stood up ... left the bench.

... he went on
