I had your number long before I ever spoke to you.
For the longest time, I didn't even know why I saved it.
Maybe it was my way of feeling closer to you, even though you remained a distant admiration, a world apart from mine.
I could never find the courage to message or call you.
I was content with just seeing your name appear in my contacts list, pretending that was enough.
But I would lie awake at night, imagining how our first conversation over the phone would go.
Would you recognize me? Would you sound the way I imagined you would?
Then, it happened.
I remember the date as clearly as if it were yesterday-3rd June 2022.
You called me.
You. Not some random misdial or accidental message, but an intentional call from you.
I was so caught off guard, my heart nearly leaped out of my chest when I saw your name flashing on my screen.
I had always imagined what it would be like to hear your voice on the other side of the line, but when it finally happened, I wasn't prepared.
For the entire 1 minute and 52 seconds, I barely registered what you said.
All I could focus on was the fact that I was speaking to you, the girl I had admired from afar for so long.
Your voice was exactly how I had imagined it, soft, yet clear, with a sweetness that matched your smile.
But my heartbeats... I could barely control them.
I tried to sound composed, even pretending not to know who was calling, despite the fact that your number was saved in my phone.
It was funny, in a way-those 1 minute and 52 seconds were the longest and shortest of my life.
I don't remember much of what we talked about, but I remember how it felt.
It was as though everything I had hoped for, everything I had wanted to say, disappeared in that moment.
I never told you how much that call meant to me.
How those brief seconds became the most precious thing in my life.
3rd June 2022. 1 minute and 52 seconds.
The moment you unknowingly gave me a memory I will never forget.
I still have a screenshot of your first call, and I know I'll keep it with me until the day I die.
It may seem insignificant to anyone else, just a simple call log, but to me, it holds one of my most cherished memories.
Every time I look at it, I'm reminded of the exact moment my distant admiration of you became something real, something more.
That screenshot is proof of the time you unknowingly left a mark on my heart a mark I'll carry with me forever.
And that's all what that 1 minute and 52 seconds made me feel...
