Cassidy sat in her room, tears filled her eyes for the 3rd time that day. She held her baby boy close, hoping that maybe the child's warmth would bring her comfort. Cassidy looked down at her 2 year old son, and she couldn't help but wail even more, seeing that he looked more like his father, a heartwarming, yet at heartbreaking thing to remember.
"I love you my darling Andrija, And I bid you never, forget it, my heart, my joy and love." Cassidy whimpered, kissing the child on the head. Being a 17 year old mother was hard enough, but without the father around, made it much worse. The 2 year old cooed and clapped his little nimble hands in glee, and Cassidy let out a chuckle.
"My, aren't you excited my little darling ?" She cooed back at the baby, rubbing her nose on his, earning a happy giggle from Andrija. Cassidy took Andrija into her arms, and carried him outside, the wind was blowing heavily, but it made Cassidy's mood better than before.
"Shall I sing you to sleep my deary ?" Cassidy asked Andrija. The little baby laughed in response, it was a yes. Cassidy giggled, and as she twirled and danced gracefully, she sang :
"We lay my love and I,"
"Beneath the weeping willow"
"But now alone I lie"
"And weep beside the tree"
"Singing 'O Willow Waly' "
"By the tree that weeps with me"
"Singing 'O Willow Waly' "
"Till my lover returns to me"
"We lay my love and I"
"Beneath the weeping willow"
"A broken heart have I"
"O Willow I die..."
"O Willow I die..."
Even as she stopped singing, her graceful dance continued, her son asleep in her arms. The song, a classic, "O Willow Waly", was a deep dark love song, quite disturbing to say the least. "We lay my love and I" to rest. To die, to mourn. "Beneath the weeping willow" buried under a tree, a willow tree, its leaves hanging like loose vines. "But now, alone I lie" forever she sleeps, she wakes, she walks, and forever the same cycle, her memories disappearing and so does her face of pure beauty and innocence. "And weep beside the tree" there she goes, a weeping soul, waiting for her lover to return to her, alas, she is no longer alive, her lover, never to return. The rest of the song is the same, but Cassidy knew, for it was just a song. She wasn't dead, nor was her child, nor was her lover, though she did wish her lover would return to her. As the rain began to pour, the teen ran back inside with her baby, a sobbing mess once again.
"Till my lover...return to me...Dimitri !!! Return to me ! I beg you !" Cassidy screamed, she cried, and sobbed, every single day ever since that day 2 years ago, when her lover, dare to leave her. Like a cycle, she sleeps, she wakes, she walks, and back again. The same routine everyday. She barely eats, she barely is seen with happiness, for her own lover, she knew, would never return. He never even knew she had their child. It was only after their relationship ended did she have the child. Poor Andrija, he would grow up without a father, or, so they thought. For now anyway.
