No one ever tells you about how long it takes to realize that you love someone. It could be a matter of weeks.
Days.
Hours.
Seconds.
It took me a matter of seconds to like Deirdre. He is very easy to like. But, very hard to figure out.
He was something that I couldn't bare not to find interest in. Aloof, yet caring. He completely contradicting everything he did or said.
It makes me ill thinking of it now, how impossibly naive I was. How I thought that I wasn't good enough for him. How others thought he wasn't good enough for me.
But, those people who said that, they didn't know the real me. They knew the sarcastic, somewhat dim witted girl. I was smart, but just dumb enough to say vague things and me not notice.
What they didn't know was, I always caught on as soon as that vague thing spilt from their lips.
I just never said anything because I hid behind that potentially stupid mask. I learned things from those really loosed lipped people that they didn't even know.
What they didn't know was.
We were perfect for eachother.
We were no longer strangers. No longer at different points of the stratosphere. It was like fire and ice combining to create something so dangerous, so lethal.
That it was beautiful.
We understood eachother because we both had problems. Problems that weren't even remotely close.
Yet exactly the same.
We both cut. For different reasons. Both to escape the harsh reality. See, we both thought we would end up alone.
Me the quiet nerd.
Him the self-destructive loser.
