Promise

We often went to see the stars together at night,
she pointed at them while smiling brightly.

,,Do you believe that there's a life after death?"
She asked me.

,,I have no idea,
I believe more in being reborn."
I saw her closing her eyes.

The wind blew her wavy hair back.

,,If I will be reborn,
I hope I'm going to be a bird.
One that is free
and
can fly as high as it wants to!"
She stood up and took my hand.

,,Let's be birds in our next life,
so we can fly together!"
She jumped up out of happiness.

,,If we can choose what we'll be,
you have to promise me that you're going to be an bird, okay?"
Her hands laid on my shoulders.

,,I promise you."
