He was the moon, and I was the sun.
He was the darkness, and I was his light.
He was chaos, I was his calm.
Yet, everyone seemed to think that it was the other way around.
Actually, no. Nobody thought anything because there was no way in hell th...
I remember his blue eyes that would turn green whenever the sun shone on them.
I remember his body against mine that felt like slipping under the covers on a chilly night, cold at first but soon enveloped in a comforting warmth that lingered.
I remember his voice that sounded like playing your favourite tune when you feel at your lowest and then you realise that "everything will be okay".
I remember his kisses that made me feel like I was dancing in the rain with butterflies flying around me.
I remember his touch that felt like waking up on the first day of summer and feeling the sun rays shine on your skin, through an open window.
That summer, I discovered what love felt like.
My favorite memory of us, is when we were riding his bike along the beautiful beach of Hawaii. I sat behind him, leaning against his back and watching the sunset.
Suddenly, he stopped and picked me up, carrying me to the beach where we dove underwater. I opened my eyes to find him already gazing at me before we resurfaced.
Our bodies were close, so close that we couldn't get any closer. His eyes turned green as he looked into my brown ones, studying every part of my face as if trying to memorize it.
My heart swelled with warmth and love for my beautiful boy and lover standing in front of me. He interlocked our fingers, and for the first time, he kissed me. It was a promise, a promise to never forget what we had.
Sometimes, we would open our eyes to remember how close our faces were to each other. He touched every uncovered part of my body, and I let him. I touched his heart, closing my eyes tightly to remember how his skin felt underneath my palm.
As we pulled apart, he said, "I love you."
"I love you too, Ren," I wished I had said back.
Butterflies fluttered in my stomach as I took him in.
He was smiling, so hard that his nose scrunched up and his dimples showed.
He was perfect. He was my perfect boy.
And then, it was over.
We returned to Alton Lake, and our lives went back to how they had always been.
He was the rude but popular boy whom everyone wanted to be friends with, the boy every girl drooled over.
The boy I had known had disappeared.
It left me questioning if he had ever really existed. Perhaps I had imagined him, and he had always been the jerk he was.
It hurt—hurt to realize that my first love had no more room for me in his life.
Silently, I removed myself from it all and vowed never to fall in love again because love hurts, and I was too weak.
Ren became nothing more than a distant memory I forcefully had to let go of.
