Darkness filled the forest, dancing in front of me. The calming chill of an earth freshly washed by rain caressed the exposed skin on my head, neck, and hands, as a light breeze shook the budding branches. Gently pushed light rain fall towards me. The sweet sound of a love balled resonated from the ancient viola tucked under my chin. A song written by Ojisan for his beautiful bride. He had first taught it to me to play it for their wedding, in a simple format since I was only five or six. He had me play it again a few years later at her funeral. I was eleven, so he decided to have me learn all of the complex composition. I played with all my heart for him, watching him cry for his one true love. that was the last time I saw him, crying for the woman he loved.

It was a sweet song; both soft and quick, yet pleasing and fresh. despite the sad memory's it was my favorite to play; As most balled There were Lyrics. My secret romantic loves the sweet and sappy words, though I never sang them. I cannot do them justice, they are meant to be sung with passionate love, which is something I cannot pretend to know. I however, remember each lyric just as perfectly as the song; my mind replaying ojisan singing them in his warm baritone along with the viola. I am now the only man alive that knew this song, since Ojisan gave me the sheet music, and never taught anyone else...

My thoughts returned to my fingers as they danced across the neck of my Ojisan’s Viola, playing the last few bars of the song purely from memory.  The sweet melody gathering all of the days worries and lifted them from my chest into the wooden body of Ojisan’s viola, and then one by one sent them out upon the wind; flying through the trees, and rain far from me. And for the first time that evening I felt calm, and ready to find the sleep I so desired.
This is a part of a story I'm writing with :iconvocaloid-addict:
