Wondering About The Other Side

Imagine everyday for the rest of your life you visit a river. The river flows among the rocks along it.  In rain or shine you have made it your goal to visit that river among your sadness and happiness. The right side of the river lies in your city and the left side of the river is located in the opposing city. You have always resided on the one side of the river.

Everyday you go, among the others you see a person alone sitting on the other side of the river along the rocks. Every time your eyes meet, you both wave a friendly hello. After the hello, you go back to observing the water. Then you take your leave. Every time after your visit, you have always wondered about that person-what is the person's story. However, you have never asked because of the voice inside that unknowingly holds you back.

Suddenly, one day you go to the rocks near the water, and the person is not there. In your mind you question all the aspects. The words, how and why arise to your mind. You just want to know why that the person was no longer their. It had been the first day in all the years you have gone, that they were not their. You worry your thoughts away and think that maybe you will see them tomorrow. 

The next day you go and visit, you notice that the wave is not their anymore. The person was not their anymore. And on, each day that you went, the person was never their anymore. Everyday filled with the regret of "I wish I had asked or done more".
