Paper Rings

Except the one you still loved

You met Nova and talked with her. A part of you still hoped she was a spoiled brat but the more time you spent with her, the more you realized why Yeonjun fell for her and that was the first time you wanted to be someone that bad. 

After everything was done, Nova motioned you to go to the mini set up they had prepared for you to sing. You smiled and went there, with a guitar in your hand. Sitting down on the wood chair, you breathed in the calming and tropical air around you which helped you calm down. 

You weren't allowed to be sad. At Least not now in front of more than a hundred people, especially Yeonjun. You took another breath and closed your eyes, trying to recollect every single happy memory you had with everyone in your life- 

Maybe anyone except the one you still loved. Hearing the start of the song, you smiled and started singing,

The moon is high

Like your friends were the night that we first met

Went home and tried to stalk you on the internet

Now I've read all of the books beside your bed

The wine is cold

Like the shoulder that I gave you in the street

Cat and mouse for a month or two or three

Now I wake up in the night and watch you breathe

Funny to think that once you were one of those 'high' friends too. But that was when none of you knew about what would happen in the future, and when you didn't feel frustrated or disappointed with yourself. 

When all of you met for the first time, you knew that Nova knew a lot about Yeonjun and maybe because she had just found out about him from the internet. 

Or was it your mind convincing you this because you didn't want to accept the fact that just maybe Yeonjun could have told her too. 

Now she would get the life you dreamt of. Waking up next to the love of your life and just admiring his perfect face. 

Kiss me once 'cause you know I had a long night 

Kiss me twice 'cause it's gonna be alright 

Three times 'cause I waited my whole life

Feeling the beats and the mood of everyone present there, you cleared your mind of sad things and enjoyed the song with them. 

Although your eyes were closed, you imagined all your friends sitting in the front row and singing along with you. 

You could hear the happy couple giggle and sing along to you.
