Today, it seems as if nothing can make the day merrier. My heart felt low, like it would break anytime soon. In front of me stood the brown haired, cocoa eyed boy whom it seemed like yesterday I fell head over heels in love with. The boy who made my heart beat a mile a minute, and made butterflies flutter through my stomach every time his eyes met mine.
And now he was leaving, and God knows when I'll see him again.
Once Greyson and I actually became friends, I realized I was going to have to leave him when summer ended. But once we became a couple, the thought only pained me worse. Never did I even imagine my summer would have been as outrageously unbelievable as it came out to be, but I was so thankful and pleased it was written out as it was.
"You don't understand how much I'll miss you." Greyson whispered, taking his hands in mine. My eyes met his, and seeing the sadness in his eyes broke my heart more.
"We'll be again soon, right?" I asked, to which he smiled.
"I love how positive you are about things."
"It's my job, right?"
He chuckled and pressed his lips to mine. The kiss felt like our first, butterflies and explosions, which don't exactly sound like they belong together, but to me they did. Like that spark would never leave, no matter the distance between us.
"I promise, we'll Skype every night." Greyson said once he pulled away.
I smiled, nodding. "Good, maybe you can help me with my Algebra homework since you're such a math whiz."
He simply stuck his tongue out at me and pulled me into a hug. I soaked in his scent. I knew that the moment I left this airport and got into my mom car (she was waiting outside), the dam behind my eyes would bust down hard.
"Flight 209 to Los Angeles." Came from the over com. Letting out a sigh, Greyson and I parted and stares at each other for a moment.
"I swear, I will come and see you soon."
"Promise?"
He smiled. "Promise."
He pressed his lips to mine gently, and pulled away. He whispered a goodbye, before slowly walking away to the departs.
My feet stayed glued to the floor, my gaze just staring at where Greyson stood only moments ago. For some reason, I felt empty, like a piece of my heart left me. It's cheesy, but I never realized the sadness sometimes in fairy tales until now.
Turning on my heels, I exited the airport and made my way to our car, where she sat reading some book on her iPhone.
As I slid into the front seat of the car, Mother glanced over at me and slid her phone in her jean pocket.
"How you holding up?" She asked in a gentle voice. With no warning at all, tears started flowing from my eyes as I burst into tears. My mother intwined her arms around me, pulling me closer to her.
"It's okay, honey. You'll see each other again soon." She whispered.
"He hasn't even been gone twenty minutes and I miss him."
"That's perfectly normal, sweetie." She pulled me away from her a bit. "It may not be a good time to ask this, but do you think you can handle a long distance relationship?"
I looked up at her from my tear flooded eyes. "Greyson told me he loved me, and would make our relationship work no matter how far apart we are. I want to make our relationship work no matter what."
Her lips curled into a smile. "I can tell he really loves you, Melody. And I can tell you love him too. He would never hurt you, I assure."
I smiled. "I know."
My mom hugged me again before starting the car and we drove off.

"I miss you." Greyson's voice came through the speakers of my computer, his face lit up my computer screen.
"I know, I miss you too."
"Is it sad that as soon as I landed I cried to my mom?"
I giggled a bit. "No, I cried to mine as soon as I got in the car."
Greyson frowned. "You know I hate when you cry."
"But can you blame me?" I asked. "Knowing my boyfriend lives thousands of miles away and I can't see him 'till God knows when."
"Melody..." he trailed off, almost seeming offended by my comment. Realizing that didn't sound the way I wanted it to, I looked back up at my screen.
"I'm sorry," I whispered, feeling the tears brimming my eyes. "I love you, and I want our relationship to stay alive."
"I love you too, and remember what I said, nothing's going to change my feelings for you." Greyson said, and I saw a tear cascade down his cheek. "We will see each other soon again, I promise you."
We were silent for a moment before I said "Well, I'll have a crazy story to tell when I get back to school."
Greyson chuckled. "You always brighten my mood."
"Like I said, its my job."
"And that's why I love you."
