I still remember that year, when I first saw you. You were talking to your friends and I was just seeing you from a distance. I know being a new admission always kinda sucked, but this time it felt right as if a missing puzzle was not missing anymore.
I always sat behind you in class. You never noticed me but maybe it was my fault. I was there when you got the first position in the Unit Tests. I was happier than you. I was there when you were selected as the School Prefect. You were dancing with your friends. I was happy for you. When you topped the Half Yearly exams, you were partying with your friends and I was just praying for your success. I was happy, ummm no happy would be an understatement, I was THE HAPPIEST person in the whole world.
You remember when you sat with me that one day. You didn't? Maybe I should've been more specific, no worries. But there was this one day when you sat with me the whole lecture. I couldn't control my happiness. If I could turn back time, I would re-live that exact moment for the rest of my life.
And then came my last week in school. Just the idea of not being close to you, not being able to see you, were haunting me. But I couldn't do anything. I decided it's now or never. I was going in a week, I thought, might as well, tell you what I feel.
I looked right into your eyes, you looked right back at me. I wanted to stay this way but shyness filled me in and I looked away. Obviously you weren't stupid to know. But like every other day, you let the moment go and just like that I couldn't. I guess you knew, what I was gonna tell you but maybe all this time, you weren't interested in me. And it was all in all just a one-sided love.
