002 || I LOVE YOU ALREADY

"listen bea, i've something to tell you" his eyes scintillates as he faced me. i replied "what is it, ryan?" he just smiled.

he drew closer to me. our visages are too close now. i can even hear his breaths.

and then he said, "i love you" under his breath. "you love me?" i asked, and he affirmed his feelings towards mine.

"but you can't" i uttered "you just met me today, right? it's impossible. you prolly don't have any idea about love" i chuckled.

he then stated, "well you can. you can fall in love with a person you just met" then he continued "we can, bea. we can" he held my hand. i simply stared at him.

"haven't you saw the way our eyes glowed as we look into each other earlier while we're singing? haven't you felt anything earlier in the arcade while we shared our smiles and laughers? and haven't you noticed something while we're exchanging words about our lives earlier in the café? it feels like we already knew each other for a long time, isn't it?" he breathes then continued talking. "i know this sounds ludicrous to you, but i guess this is it. this is what we called love. but if this isn't love, what would you call this?" he smiled at me, and gently held my cold cheeks with his two warm hands.

"well, if this is already love, then i love you too." i mumbled, and laid my head on his chest.
