Sea of Love

Confession

I remember now the day I met you. The day that seemed to have repeated itself right now-we were just kids. Simple kids who liked getting dirty, running free and wild and letting the earth do what they wanted with us. We had no means of ever taming our wild spirit.

You once grabbed a cup, empty and dirtied, and proceeded to hand it to me one day, "For a pretty lady deserves an even prettier cup!" it was anything but pretty, but back then I thought nothing of it. Little me thought it was the greatest gift on earth, as it had come from you. Anything that had came from you, I treasured it in my heart. You could've given me dirt and id still be happy.

I felt lime the luckiest girl on earth, by just having you by my side. We were the two inseparable beings, where one went so did the other. Chaos in our wake, sure, but no matter how mad our parents got, we couldn't care less.

Could we be like that once more? Even if its just one time?

I could feel myself shaking in my boots-todays the day. no backing down now. Pressure weighs down on my chest as gravity feels like its increasing just on me...I take one gentle step into your direction, clutching my love letter to my chest.

The envelope, now crinkled at the seams, merely gasps for release-and so do i. Ive been in love with you for years, but i never got to spill what i truly felt. At least not to you.  So, i spilled all my thoughts into the paper. "Hey..." I mutter softly, grasping your attention before handing you the envelope, "For you..." I blush as i and the now-crinkled envelope to you.

You carefully open its contents, slowly reading word for word what i had put on paper-my heart begins to thump out of my chest...what if you don't accept me too? What if you fell in love with another girl? Those thoughts raced endlessly and tirelessly in my mind-but i was only met with a small smirk as you fold up the paper.

'I love you too...." Your voice flows silently into my ear, a melody id play non-stop on repeat...

I felt our hands interlocking gently, Your warm embrace holding me close. This was the day i always yearned for. For you to recuperate my own love for you. Your warm lips close into mine, pulling me even closer to your loving embrace. Its as if the whole world feel silent, and we were the only ones left.

As you gently pull away, allowing us to breathe once more , i look into your gaze- fiery yet calm. Loud yet ever still silent. I could feel my heart bursting out of my chest , my face flushing a cherry red.

"You...really love me too...?" I mutter softly, my face soften as i put my head to your chest-your soft breathing soothing, lulling me to a near sleep. I clench onto the fabric of your school uniform, wrinkling the seams of it.

i could feel your smile, your warmth, bestowed upon me. "Yes, yes i do." I look away from your gaze, tears slowly forming in my eyes, threatening to pour down my face-even though i yearned for this day to come, it feels all surreal.

I try to refrain myself from crying, trying not to ruin my make up i put on just for this day. I should've just went natural...as you lean in for another, i push away, shy and embarrassed. Its not that i don't love you, but...

I'm just so nervous. We have been friends for a while now. I could see your hurt as i push you away, but ... "I'm sorry, I'm just so nervous..." You then cup my face, making me look directly at you once more.

Perhaps it was just fate, for us to fall for each other. For when I looked at you once more, I could see an endless amount of years together on this earth. And perhaps to the next.

"Its ok. I wont push you to do anything you don't ever want to do..."  I could feel your thumb carefully stroking my beat-red face, your smile still shining brightly. I always thought you would've liked to stay just as friends. Something i didn't want to be as.

Thank you.
