From Me to You: The Crush [Completed]

Beam

"You like me? Why?"

"Must there be a reason?"

"Nobody likes someone with no reason. Why do you like me?"

"If I told you why, will you stop bugging me on it?"

Beam nodded.

"I like you because you are the one who cares me about even when you are angry with me. You are the one who sets out to make sure I am OK in your own little way. You are the one who makes sure I have eaten without fail. You are the one who cannot help but nag at me daily. You are the one who makes me feel safe. You are the one, I can be myself wholly without feeling judged and knowing its safe to do so. And you are the one who has effortlessly taken down my walls in a long long while."

"But I don't like you that way."

"I know."

"Then why do you harbour feelings for me? You are going to be hurt and I don't like seeing you get hurt."

"I tried. 2 months later, I still like you. Then how? I know you don't see me that way and you never will. But the heart wants what it wants. So I will nurse these feelings until they go away. But you need to know that even if you did like me, I may end up getting hurt one day. Getting hurt is part and parcel of life so do not blame yourself."

"I cannot see you get hurt. You know that."

"Silly boy. Forcing me to get over feelings when I'm not ready is going to hurt more than liking you."

"Why do you confess if you know the answer?"

"Because I hate hiding it from you."

"I gotta go, see you around. Take care na."

Beam just watched as Forth walked away, becoming a faint figure in the distance.
