Times Beyond Distance

HER

We met in a small town, I was quiet and she was outspoken. I couldn't ask for a better person to become friends with. It took me a little to even get use to having company around but with her it seemed almost normal. Like she was meant to be there, like it was suppose to happen whether I wanted it to or not. 

I remember trying to push her away, Trying to show her that I didn't want any company. But, she pushed her way into my life. 

We use to talk for hours going on and on about a video game, or some movie neither one of us have even seen. She made me laugh. She made me wonder if I could be happy. At home I had a charmed life, a loving family, tons of things to keep me busy. But, I wasn't happy. I also had a girlfriend but I knew that wouldn't last. She was cheating on me and pretended that I didn't know. 

She was going to leave me for some guy who's name I wasn't sure about, I never met him and I didn't care much about doing so either. I just didn't seem to care. I have had my heart broken so many times I can hardly even feel the pain. But the girl I met now. Shes almost perfect.

This girl cares. 

This girl see's something in me that I don't. She finds a reason to smile everyday and she makes the people around her happy too. Some days she's not like that. Her and her boyfriend would get in a fight, he would even make her cry. Or someone died and she couldn't seem to smile. It wasn't often that she looked sad but I could tell something was going on. 

Some days she would be so conflicted with her own emotions that she would ask me for a hug. But when she hugged me it was like heaven. Her embrace was so warm, the smell of her hair was so sweet, her head would rest on my chest for a split second, and my heart would beat a hundred miles a second. Around her I got nervous. I didn't know what to say, how to act. I was so scared that I was going to do something that would embarrass me, that would make me look like a fool. But even when I did she didn't judge me. She never judged me.

We are only in high school, but it seems much more than that. I just met her this year and I already know that we would be friends for a long time. I cant be with out her, I cant live without Rose.
