Roads

May it be an evening star Shines down upon you May it be when darkness falls Your heart will be true You walk a lonely way Oh! how far you are from home --------poem before title RoadsI am standing in the wind, staring at the road which leads to the distant place, with my long hair waving in the air. I can hear nothing but the wind blowing my windbreaker, just as the silks are torn. I feel my body getting lighter and lighter, and even flying from the road under my feet to look for my best friend, Chen, in the south.Fall comes, How about my best friend, Chen? How I wonder whether he agrees with the weather there! In such an evenfall in autumn as I see today, Chen set off to the south, leaving me alone in the hometown, waiting for him every day.He is a dreamy and unbending boy, who used to sit behind the window of our dormitory, staring at the dark sky outside in the evening. He was always telling me that he’d like to control his own destiny and that he wanted to be outstanding. Then I wound reply:“Chen, you are always innocent. Sometimes you can’t change everything, indeed.”“Really?” with the words, everything in the room was always very still.One night, he had himself seated behind the window for long. When I woke up from a strange dream, I found his back in the poor light, with everything around him still. Besides, the moon only had gone to bed and slept soundly . I glanced at the window only to find the darkness outside, which used to involve my partner into deep thought. Finding me wake up, Chen hung his head and wiped his cheek with the back of his hand quickly. Realizing that he must have wept, I asked him:“Chen, what’s wrong with you?”without reply.“You don’t have to upset yourself.”I added. Suddenly, he turned round and knocked into my bosom with tears falling down. I could understand how sad my partner felt.“My...mother…died…Wom…”he wept and could hardly say,“…of liver cancer.”I was shocked. How terrible the news sounded! After all, Chen was still a young boy of seventeen years old. “Er, I know how you feel. It’ll be all right.” Then I supported him to my bed to sleep with me. However, I could hardly get to sleep, for I was feeling that a pure heart was bleeding .From then on, he wasn’t fond of talking with others any more. Although, he talked with me sometimes. He kept himself behind the window more often than before. Sometimes, waking up in the morning, I saw he was bending over the window. I could hardly find a way to help him.Suddenly came a day when he took my hand and whispered to me that he would set off for a very beautiful and rich city in the south the next day, leaving behind the school, his hometown and his best friend, me , and that he would go a long way in the future. He talked on and on, meanwhile, he smiled. “I will earn a lot of money , then I want to buy a car and a very beautiful villa, in which I will live a calm life.” Oh, dear! I could hardly believe my own ears. What he said means that he would leave the next day. Just the next day! I asked with puzzle on my face: “Chen , have you decided?”He nodded calmly. Then he pulled my hand and ran outside, “Let’s enjoy ourselves until sunset.” He shouted. So we did. We ran in the field, so that all our clothes were covered with dust. We rambled on the river where grew a lot of reeds. I picked up a reed catkin and blew. As a result , his whole head was covered with white. We played until dark , indeed, we chased after the setting sun with laugh all the way. Forgetting the time and the way. We enjoyed ourselves for long…Now , without my friend, Chen, I can only stand in the wind, in such a beautiful evenfall and look back on the days before. I know , he is walking on the road of a southern city with his future dream . And I am still studying in the northern school, dreaming of going to university. We are remarkable. There is still a long way for my friend, Chen and me. Never forget the boy who liked dreaming and was fond of sitting behind the window, looking into the darkness outside.May there be enough clouds in his life to make a beautiful sunset.
