Chereads / The Red Scarf / Chapter 11 - Sound canaries

Chapter 11 - Sound canaries

And we sang, we sang until we could no longer, the sky was already a set of infinite lights. My tears fell with every word of every song. It still hurt, and nothing stopped. At one point, we fell silent.

"I guess there is nothing I can do for you, you are determined, more than I expected"

I looked at him and smiled slightly.

"I told you I was broken, don't think I didn't try, I did my best, but every word feels like tearing my throat. Do you remember why I let you go?"

"Because I wanted freedom"

I let go of his hand.

"No, you were going to die, you were sick. I just made you not suffer. If I left you in the cage, you would not know what it was like to be able to fly; also, over time you would die of sadness because you could no longer sing"

I stood up, and little by little I was untangling the scarf from my neck.

"You, just wait for when I come back. Next time, let's sing together"

There was no doubt, canary, they did not send you to prevent me from jumping, they sent you to remind me why it hurt so much. It hurts, because I can't bear not having what made me special anymore; It hurts not being able to remember to love me ...

Throw the scarf into the air and jump. It was my time to fly.

I wish someone had done the same thing I did for you.

I could only see a red canary flying ...

The wind is cold ...

I'm scared...

I loved...

I once had a voice, but it was stolen.

I was finally able to say goodbye properly.

I assure you that there is no more pain.

Thanks and...

Goodbye.
