He is leaving

He packed his bags and was about to leave
The little girl held his hand and said to him

"Why are you going?"

" I need to get away from this place, I need to go and find myself, get to that place where I belong.... I don't belong here" he replied patting her head

"Where are you going? "

"The future.... but I have no idea where that is"

"Are you coming back?"

He flashed a smile and said "no"

Please take me with you? The little girl said with tears dropping from her eyes

"I'm done with the past and everything that has to do with it" he said removing his hands

"Are you going to miss anything?"

He replied walking into the sun "i will try as much as possible to forget this place"

An old man came out to comfort the child

"Dont loose hope child  he is definitely coming back, but my fear is him coming back a total different man".
