Meant to Be

Her: I ran down the road. Tears streaming down my face. I thought I lost you. I thought you wouldn't come back for me. I thought you replaced me. I thought I wasn't needed.

After she hugged you after school I ran. I was going to confess to you. I was going to let go of all that stress I've been building up for years because I kept the secret that I liked you. I had hope that maybe you would like me back, but hope is nothing but false thoughts.

Him: I ran down the road looking for you. It wasn't what it looked like. The time you saw me hug her, it wasn't for love. It was platonic. I love you.

I see you on the streets. Determination filled my mind to tell you the truth.

You're with another person. She was talking to another boy. I stop. Fear and worry filling my mind. So I guess she didn't like me. I guess she didn't want me.

I walked away slowly with shame and regret. Sorrow filled my body. I was too late. Too late to tell her I love her. I guess it wasn't meany to be.

Her: After I gave the stranger boy directions to the place he was going he walked away.

Then I had second thoughts about the hug. Was it just a friend hug. Was I overreacting. I looked back to see if I should walk back to school.

Then I saw it. He was there. Did he come back for me? But why is he going the other way? Why?

Fear that he didn't want me swelled in my brain. I decided not to go back to him. I decided to keep walking. I guess it wasn't meant to be.

Misunderstandings and fears are the reasons for things to fall.
