I don't think I'm breathing. My vision is blurry. My heart is racing and I don't know who to blame. Maybe the 3 glasses of rum and coke I just had or my very irrational way of thinking. Or maybe both.
I'm solost in the moment that I don't even realize that he's this close to me.Touching me. Touching my shoulder. Asking if I'm ok. Real concern in his eyes.I step away and lean on the kitchen counter so I don't fall over. He lets go,hands me a glass of water and smiles a smile so contagious. A smile that sobersme up almost immediately. I take a sip only so I can see his smile for a littlelonger.

Present time
I didn't know back then that what I was feeling was wrong , but I was just 16. Still a kid. A dumb delusional one. And he was handsome, kind and had a good sense of humor. He was also 19 and my brothers best friend.
Three years. Three years of trying so hard to forget him, forget what happened that night. Three years worth of effort to forget, disappear the second he walks through that door.
He has more tattoos now. And he's eyes look a little more tiered. But somehow, he's still flawless. I realize that I haven't really changed that much either. I'm still in love with him, as much as I hate to admit it.
I walk away before he gets the chance to meet my eyes.
