You've always been beautiful to me, but it wasn't just your smile or those captivating curls.

It was the way you carried yourself, effortlessly graceful.

There was something so natural, so unpretentious about you.

The simplest things, like the way your eyes glowed in the sunlight or how your hair danced with the wind.

Then there was that day. The day everything changed, even if just for a little while.

Our class teacher decided to rearrange our seats, making us sit according to our roll numbers.

It was just an ordinary day for everyone else, but for me, it became unforgettable.

By some perfect twist of fate, you and I were placed on the same bench.

You and I, sharing the same space.

My heart pounded in my chest as I realized how close we'd be.

It was the only time you and I were ever that close, and I could hardly believe it.

I tried my best to look calm, like this wasn't affecting me at all.

But inside? I was thanking God for this moment. Because,

"You were just a Heartbeat Away from me"

I was happier than I could have ever admitted.

I acted cool, though, pretending that everything was normal. But it wasn't.

How could it be when the girl I had admired from a distance for so long was suddenly sitting right next to me.

There were so many things I wanted to say, but the silence felt safer.

We sat there, side by side, sharing moments that neither of us acknowledged aloud.

During those days, I couldn't help but reflect on all the silly things I had done just to grab your attention.

I'd make the most absurd mistakes in class, knowing full well I could have answered the questions easily.

But the moment I "struggled," I'd glance at you, portraying confusion, hoping you'd notice and rescue me.

I pretended not to know the answers, just so I could ask you for help.

Each time you leaned in to explain, my heart would flutter, feeling like the luckiest person alive.

The space between us was small, yet so much larger in my heart.

The quiet moments stretched on, but I found comfort in them.

"Your eyes, they spoke louder than words "

It felt like the universe had brought us closer.

I stole glances at you, and every time our eyes met, it felt as though time paused.

But then, it came to an end. few days later, the seating arrangement changed, and you became a distant admiration once again.

The closeness faded, and you returned to being the girl I adored from afar.

But I can't lie, it was one of the best phases I ever experienced.

I cherished that time more than you'll ever know.

It was a time when I dared to dream my whole life with you.

And that's all what i felt when you were just a heartbeat away...
