early morning. birds are already singing outside the window, a fresh breeze is blowing through the open window. standing in a light nightgown, you look at the city that has not yet woken up. there is nothing in my mind but longing, because today Simon is going to serve in the army. he gave a firm refusal to your persuasions not to go, arguing that he was too devoted to his homeland and would defend it to the last. you couldn't come to terms with his decision for a long time, and even now, when there are only a few hours left before he leaves, you still can't let him go. wiping your tears with your hand, you pursed your lips and went to the kitchen where your boyfriend was having breakfast. Simon was sitting at the table, chewing something, and there was a huge bouquet of flowers on the table. "this is for you, before I leave" Simon said, smiling and winking. your mind is clouded again, your eyes are dark and your hands are trembling. when he saw that you were about to cry, the man pulled you to him and hugged you tightly. "well, don't cry, my love.. before you know it, I'll be back to you.. when I come back, you and I will definitely get married, I promise" Simon muttered, taking your face in his hands. It was obvious from him that this decision was also difficult for him, he also wanted to cry. a slight nod came from you, Simon smiled and kissed you on the forehead.
