We've been together for quite a while now... we've shared a lot of things...
Bottles of beer, hours of talk, walk, and cruise. We've shared loads of laughs and buckets of tears...
And it all started from a simple "Hi"
I fell for you and you knew... you knew that I am always thinking of you, that there's nowhere else I'd rather to be but beside you.
You knew that even if my happiness depends on our proximity I kept my feelings out of sight... you have a life of your own and I don't want to make you feel caged just because I love you.
I was okay with being there, simply being able to look at you, watch you smile and breath the same air that you do...
I wasn't asking for anything nor am I expecting that you'd eventually feel the same way but... the day you held my hand and gave me the loveliest kiss I felt so happy and scared that my heart could burst.
Nothing changed though and despite myself, despite the fact that I know this feeling and whatever we have would go nowhere... I still hoped.
I waited...
And waited... until you come to terms with yourself and your feelings.
I never demanded for anything, who am I to ask you to stay?
Or to love me back?
I could only love you but I could never force love on you...
But I'm all grown up, I am a woman -- a polished diamond with millions of cuts.
So one day I decided to do what would be good for me...
"I'm going..." I said before you.
"Going where? Are you saying goodbye to me?" You asked.
"No, I'm not... because there was never any 'hello', was there?" I replied faking a smile.
You looked down and after an eternity of silence you told me, "Please stay." and you held my hand.
I just looked at you blankly and then you said, "I love you..." your voice was weak but I heard it and it welled my heart. I've longed for you to say that...
I almost cried... It's been my dream for so long, I was tempted to stay -- believe me, I was.
But I have made up my mind. There's no turning back.
I took my hands from yours, your eyes were full of foreboding...
I gave you one final kiss. Sweet and swift. "I have to go."
And in that bright summer morning I went home to me.
