It’s been quite a long time since you and I first met. It was in the fall of 2001. I was shy at first but you knew just the right things to say just to break me out of my shell. The first thing you said to me was not “hi”. Instead, you asked me if wanted to go to the mall. It was like you’ve known me forever. Although I refused to go (being that you were still somewhat a stranger), it wasn’t the end of it. Nature found its way for us to meet again the following day. And from then on, we were inseparable. The moment we exchanged words, it seemed as if we’ve known each other since we were kids. Everything you said just seemed to have made me laugh, if not smile. That moment, I thought to myself, “I think I found my newest best friend.”
The semester is now done, and we see each other now almost everyday. One night, you picked me up at my house and drove to the beach (you didn’t know back then, but it was one of my favorite places) on a cold winter night. It was my first time to be on the beach on a weather as cold as that. We laid on the sand, listened to the waves, and watched the stars. Next thing I know, we were sharing your jacket and you had your arms around me. I felt warm. You also bought me hot chocolate, which was very sweet. Although it was too hot it burned my tongue really bad. Everything might sound perfectly romantic, but not really. There were a few quirks like the hot chocolate incident (and that time I thought the seagulls were floating chrirstmas lights) and a lot more. At this point, you’ve already seen how funny things like to happen to me, and what a real klutz I am… but you said it just drew you closer to me even more.
I also remember the times when we eat breakfast, then go back to sleep (not with, but) side by side each other in your room, and on most of those times, I can always feel your breath on my face. There was no malice. We watch dvd’s on your couch, while you have your arms around me. Each and every day we spend with each other made me feel closer to you. Closer and most comfortable than I’ve ever been to anyone I’ve met in my life.
I remember the day you first held my hand. It was as if you didn’t wanna let it go. The way you stared at me at times when you just felt like staring made me feel a little uncomfortable, but it made me smile inside. It was as if your eyes were telling me something, but I wasn’t sure. You would occasionally pinch me or hug me from behind and tell me I’m really cute. You just didn’t know at that time, but I was also thinking in my head how cute you really were, too. The things that you do were just so cute, I couldn’t help but be happy when you’re around.
Stuffed bears, cards, letters, flowers, cds, jewelries unexpected visits and unsuspected compliments were just a few things you gave me. They might be ordinary things a girl gets from a boy, but they still never fail.
I was alone, never needed anyone until you came along. You were a stranger once, who found always found ways to make my heart melt.
