Just being with you has its implications, but we were so sure of our feelings that we stopped thinking straight. Suddenly, complications didn’t matter anymore. We simply enjoyed every moment until that inevitable kiss. We stayed until we saw all the possibilities, a glimpse into each other’s deepest desires. We could wait for another lifetime, but destiny is for fools, so we took the risk. We dropped everything. We both broke the rules just to be here. This is the perfect place, our own little bubble — our own continuum.
Going Mellow
Overflowing presence
Oh, don’t you stare at me like that. You don’t need to. I have fallen a million times already, and I am still falling. No one can ignore your brilliance. Your radiance fills the room. You’re kind and sweet, smart and beautiful. With your charm, everyone looks at you. With your charm, I am desperate to make you mine.
Yet silence reigned. I thought I was good with words, but with you, I am speechless, just listening. Searching for every subtle hint you might reveal, practically drowning in your overflowing presence. Come closer and listen to my heart; you don’t want to miss its sincerity.
I chased her
She’ll never be the one that got away. I immediately grabbed her as soon as the opportunity presented itself, knowing how delicate she can be, as complicated as can be. I never realized it, but I should have known better. I should’ve just walked away. It was far easier. But I did what I had to do: I’d rather die than give up. And so, I chased her.
I want her. I want her every day. I want every bit of her.
She is the type of girl that doesn’t come along every day, so I acted fast. I approached her wearing my most genuine smile. Day by day, I tried to impress her: read her favorite book, watched her favorite Netflix series. I did everything just to catch her precious attention, the same attention that every man in the room wanted.
Given her innocence, she probably wouldn’t understand. But for me, it seems like a dream. I’m crazy in love with her.
Accidentally
What if I accidentally fell in love? You were like a dream. Now everyone is looking, talking about us. From their prying eyes, let’s turn and run away. I’ll take the lead. I will spend my whole life listening to every story you want to tell. I’m sure it will all be worth it, because you’re worth it. This is worth more than all those risks and labels, it is bigger than the people who judged us.
Maybe the truth will set us free. Maybe it won’t. But we have to try. Better to take a leap of faith with one another than miss a lifetime of happiness.
Consequences
He sat there in silence. No one could melt his ice-cold heart. Extenuating circumstances tangled his emotions. He was spiraling, unable to deal with more than one feeling at a time. She got underneath his skin, and she didn’t even give him a chance to stop her from walking away.
And why would she? It was his fault, all right. He cheated. Lied. Broke a promise. He confused sexual intensity with romantic intimacy. Reluctant to accept the consequences of his actions, he ended up feeling nothing but guilt and frustration.
Happenstance
Our meeting was pure happenstance. Now, I’m here all alone in a quiet pocket of time, a place where I have reached total solitude. I can think of our thousand happy memories together, but the thoughts died before taking shape. Time will tell how much I love you. Yet time also taught us that everyone has to say goodbye sooner or later. What a cliché. She had me. The feeling was so ugly, so alien. I could say that she cast a spell on me, but like love, happy endings are only for fairy tales.
Dubious
A perverted stare studied her curves, imagining touching her inch by inch, part by part. That expression in her lovely eyes. Everything seems surreal just looking at her. Incredible. His mortal lips long to kiss her everywhere.
Hesitant to approach her, he realizes that he is in love, truly, madly in love. He simply wants to be with her every night and day, driven by motives both good and bad. For love is no accident, and a smile is the beginning of every love story.
Will he confess his love, or will he deny it again? “Destiny will still find a way through doubts,” he said. He will wait for the perfect moment. Dubious, he then asks himself, “For how long?”
Forget everything
This is a battle of allegations. Suddenly, love became contempt and disgust. Incongruous as the statement was, horrible decisions created a horrible relationship. So sudden, so unsure, just full of hatred. We were fools, too different from each other, and caught up in everything around us. Perhaps our destiny is in a different life. We could just lie to ourselves and give each other something to hold on to, or we could just walk away and forget about everything.
Impish Smile
His usual impish smile. He had been around long enough that he knew all the tricks and had wept enough. With curious eyes, he watched her gestures and the tension in her posture, as well as her body language. He then created a world within his own mind, and in that private place, he fantasized about her. That buried his solitude for a while, even as seclusion added loneliness to his excess misery, a lonely world where he was alone, a dream.
It’s not his choice, of course. He was scared to love, scared to tell her how much he adored her. Exhaling deeply, his eyes opened, filled with sadness.
