A Daydream

On the way back from her room, I stood beside the small sewage -actually it's a river but very small. This river used to be used as a transportation of coal from the upper area where lots of coal used to be produced. At that time this area must have been prosperous much more than now.
Twenty-eight years ago when I was still in the first grade of the high school, I used to visit here. At that time I was a member of the swimming team, honestly speaking I am very poor at sports except for swimming and iron bar. When I attended the swimming club for just three months(it's quite short!), we used to exercise swimming 5km, but only I was unable to swim such a long course, I was alloted to swim 2km instead any way our team was strong and the strongest team in our metropolitan area. We went to an inter high schools in our metropolitan area for swimming. Our high school was one of two strongest among many. We went to the other strongest high school in our region. Both schools were competing in many areas, in baseball, in academic record, etc.
There I encountered two beautiful people - one is a woman and the other is a guy - the woman was very pretty and had round, big and seems bouncy bosoms, the other guy was handsome and very tall - seemd to me they were a best couple even saw. As a matter of fact both took the first prize in their play competitions. Glittering in my eyes..
While I was standing beside the river, I recalled what I saw there in the first place 28 years ago. People out of work were playing Chinese chess. Not two or three but many and more people were watching their playng a Chinese chess. Now they are gone. 28 years ago the street along the small stream counted lots of people out of work. 28 years ago the time was changing from coal to oil in energy that came up lots of unemployed. Now they are gone, now this area came to be a school town where lots of juveniles can be seen.
On the way back from her room I just realised the best couple is us as if it were just transported from the one I saw here in my high school days but now Eri and I seemed the best couple we ever encountered in our life.
She flew to Australia today... As if I lost something very precious in my mind.
Daydream, illusion, vacancy.
