5 Minute Freewrite Prompt : Swirls of cigarette smoke
Sipping his favorite cup of coffee, he felt a sense of calmness flowing through his entire body. This was his ME time and it's known to many of his friends that he must not be disturbed; no matter how urgent the matter may be. And it has been like this for the past four years three months and twelve days.
Sitting down in Cafe Long Sierre in that same table overlooking the courtyard where everyone walks pass with haste. The pedestrians are so involved in whatever they were doing that nothing bothered them at all. For him, it's the sight of people that distracts him whenever he's here. At a corner, he saw a young couple kissing passionately while an old man sat down on the bench with a cigarette packet on his left hand. He seemed to have just enjoyed a moment because he saw swirls of cigarette smoke just above his nose.
Wait for me here, my love.
I shall return when the sunsets.
Those were her last words and he held on to it; believing that she would return. And for that, he had sat on this same table everyday waiting for her to return. It's only when the sun has finally set would he then leave but he would always return the following day.

No matter how his friends had convinced him that she has left him for good, he would hear none of it. He believed that she would return back to his arms. They were meant to be together. That's what the sorcerer had said to them. And he will continue to wait for her until his lasts breath!

Reminds me of that song The Man Than Can't Be Moved by The Script
Is this true love and just obsession..... thin line I guess ;D
There's always a thin line in everything that happens around us
We can only hope that it doesn't bring the worst out of us
This makes me want to start giving more dramatic descriptions of time. Instead of telling someone to meet at 8 for drinks, they should wait for me at dusk, after the fireflies appear but before the whippoorwill sings its first song.
Ha ha.. That's a good try..
I work in a building which is the tallest in SEA.
And I tell my clients that I only do inspections as 5PM, nothing earlier or later.
When they ask me why, I tell them that this is best time to view the city during sunset and enjoy the Saigon By Night view !
I could not wait for so long....
Never say never..
Sometimes for true love, we do the most unexpected
What a shame that he couldn't accept that she was never coming back to him.

So true. I know someone who lives in her own happy bubble and does not want to hear about, talk about or accept anything that will burst her bubble.
Oh yes.. There is some truth to this prompt and it does relate to some out there
Didn't expect the ending - and good for him!! Wait!!
Wasn't sure what the ending would be.. the fingers did the work and if it wasn't because of the timer, I'm not sure where would it end either
