I held on to it tightly. I don't want to let it go, for fear that I may lose everything inside it.
Earlier today, one of my favorite objects [a sling bag, given to me by a special person], got torn. I was walking on the pathways of my university when it fell on the ground. I was appalled. Needless to say, I felt broken as I tried to mend the torn part of the strap. It was difficult for me to keep walking. Rationally, a bag contains valuables. Naturally, I intend to protect whatever's inside it.
...but then again...that bag is special.
It was given to me [as I said above] by a special person. He gave it to me as a product of the unfortunate event that happened on that fateful summer day. Long story short, my wallet and my cellphone [that hasn't even reached two months in my possession] got stolen. It was taken from my bag as we were walking on that specific street. I was with that special person. He consoled me. It somehow worked. He then told me that he'd give me some sort of sling so I could keep my cellphone near my body. My idea of a sling is an ID strap. His idea apparently, was a bag.
It was a DOMO bag. I wasn't fond of that weird creature. I stared at it open-mouthed as he gave it to me. His beautiful eyes looked at me with concern, as he said: "You can put your stuff here. Please use it whenever you can." I wasn't fond of that DOMO icon...but then again...I used it. Every time I got out of the house; meaning everyday.
It has been six months since.
I have yet to fix it. The bag is temporarily patched up by a safety pin.
...and my paranoia kicked in.
Is it a sign? Is our relationship gonna fall apart? Does that strap falling off have a significance?
Somehow...I think it is.
I'll hold on to it tightly, as long as it's there...for fear of the unknown.
I can't keep it forever, however, I can hold on to it while I still can.
