Linger in Your Eyes

foreword;

"hey. did you wait long?" he asked. I was shocked upon seeing him. he's still handsome as ever...since like forever.

"don't glare at me like that. it frightens me and you know that." instead of saying anything I just glared at him more.

we agreed to meet to talk about something. but up until now, no one's talking.

we stayed silent until he spoke.

"...I've been meaning to say the words that I wasn't able to say, three years ago." he started. I don't know what's gotten into me, but I looked into his eyes. the only thing that didn't change after all this years.

"I won't deny that lately I've been....no.....you knew me by heart, and confessing's the last thing that I want to do. but now I'll do it" he continued while I stayed silent.

"Pathetic isn't it? I know. and I know that..." before I could even cut him short after that, he did it himself.

"..I know you don't feel the same anymore...and it's my fault.." no one's at fault mi amor.

"..but I needed to get myself to say these words that I've been dying to say to you...ever since the day that we met...I know it's already late, but I've been so in love with you ever since and it's the only thing I know that is true." then he stopped. he looked directly into my eyes and again...I felt it.

For the first time in forever...I felt something.

Something true. something sure. something peaceful. something light.
