I was looking for an idea to do some more writing, so I went on Pinterest for some more ideas. I came to one idea, and I like it. So, I did it as challenge for myself, to improve my writing skills. So, I put my music playlist in shuffle mode and the first five songs is what I used to make this short story. Hope you enjoy reading. Thank you :D

Story from songs: Above the Time by IU, Wild Angels by Martina McBride, A New State of Mind by WAX, Shoes by IU, and New Days by Dreamcatcher

She is someone who wanders and who is waiting for her love. Her anchor is beyond in nowhere and he is like an island. She will remember him even if he forgot about her. Her heart is hurting because she doesn't know if he cares about her. She'll keep waiting for him. She tries to keep the love alive in the troubles time. It's tough to keep up with the others. People still break each other's heart sometimes. As long we have love, we will be okay. Before the night come, she would follow the light and go to him. Looking for him, every day if she has to. Until the end, she will look for him. After time goes, some of the memories has forgotten or faded away. Would he wait for her? Even if she falls down or get tired, she will look for him. They will shine once they meet. Everything disappears and new time comes as if I got a new heart. Memories included. It won't be much longer, if it's true love they will find their way to each other. It's may seem that it's not their time but someday it will happen.

She got hurts a lot in the past, so she wonders about happiness and love. If love is ever real. Would it’s ever happens to her? Always acted like a nervous wreck and wondering what to do and what to says. Time moves so fast, and she isn't moving. Everything moves in life expect her. In her point view, she moves slow like in slow motion and everything around her is in fast forwarding mode. Who knows that living life can be depressing and it's hurting your heart. Sometimes you can't breathe, and you feel so suffocating. Wondering what she did was wrong. If she is the problem to the society, the world, to her friends, or to her families. She is so fragile, and you can drop her into pieces if you are not being careful. But yet, she is so beautiful and so rare.

If it's far away in the future, she wonders if she ever will meet her future soul. It's about timing and life. She cares about others; she would watch over them. Would help them when they need something. People said that she is like an angel that watches over people. Her relationship with her partner is unknown, since she doesn't have anyone yet. She has new mindset every day and she want a steady but also a loving relationship. Steady and not bumpy. Someone who cares about her. As a person and holds her when she is having a bad day. Wash away her tears. Kisses her sorrows away. Someone who cares about her as if he cares about himself. Who would sleep by her and protect over her. Her name means she is the light to the darkness. She would light up people's lives. Her name is Elaine, a French name which means shining light.
