confession

A beautiful afternoon inside an empty classroom, the rays of sunset by the window trickled on my face. There I stood together with a girl directly facing towards me with tension filling up the air.

(There I was again tonight
Forcing laughter, faking smiles
Same old tired, lonely place)

"I have liked you for the longest time now!! Please go out with me!"

My body froze up as soon as I heard what she had just uttered to me. Her beautiful voice even with a hint of nervousness from saying those words are pleasing to my ears

(Walls of insincerity, shifting eyes and vacancy
Vanished when I saw your face
All I can say is, it was enchanting to meet you)

"What did you just say?"

I asked her once again wanting to hear those words again from her mouth.

(Your eyes whispered, "Have we met?"
'Cross the room your silhouette
Starts to make its way to me
The playful conversation starts
Counter all your quick remarks
Like passing notes in secrecy)

"I said I li-like you!! This is really embarrassing for me."

(And it was enchanting to meet you
All I can say is, I was enchanted to meet you)

I clearly saw the embarrassment on her face as she cutely tried to cover her blushing face.

(This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you)

And so I took a deep breath before responding, still perplexed that the girl I have loved for the longest time now had confessed to me, as if this is all just a dream.

The lingering question kept me up
2 AM, who do you love?
I wonder 'til I'm wide awake
And now I'm pacing back and forth
Wishing you were at my door
I'd open up and you would say, "Hey"

"Yes, I would love to go out with you."

I replied with a smile on my face.

It was enchanting to meet you
All I know is, I was enchanted to meet you

Her whole face lit up with happiness as a very beautiful look of joy was seen through her face.

(This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew)

She immediately embraced me while repeatedly saying my name.

"Kei, Kei, Kei, Kei!~"

(That this night is flawless, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you)

I then put my hand on her head and slowly caressed her hair.

(This is me praying that
This was the very first page
Not where the story line ends)

The smile on my face slowly faded away as my lips slightly trembled with what I'm about to say next.

"With this final practice, you're now ready to confess your feelings to him."

(My thoughts will echo your name, until I see you again
These are the words I held back, as I was leaving too soon
I was enchanted to meet you)

"Now get going, go to him now and tell him how you feel. I'm sure you're feelings will be reciprocated."

"Mm! Thank you Kei, you're such a great best friend!"

"Don't worry about it, wish you the best of luck."

She quickly sprinted out of the classroom carrying her bag, leaving me behind all alone.

(Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you)

As soon as she left, the strength on my legs finally gave out as I slowly collapsed on the floor with my back leaning on the wall.

(Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you)

The tears in my eyes teared down my face as I cried silently with my hands covering my mouth to prevent my wailings from making noise.

(This night is sparkling, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew)

"If I was just a little earlier and went honest with how I truly feel, would it have been me and not him?"

The thoughts on my head full of what ifs came rampaging inside my mind.

(This night is flawless, don't you let it go
I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you)

As of this moment, the love of my life is on her way to be with another person and I couldn't do anything about it but just let it happen.

The thought of it tightens my chest to the point it hurts so much and the butterflies on my stomach earlier are slowly turning into suffering.

If only I had been honest with myself, if only I was strong enough....

if only...

(Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you)
