Our story begins in that musty old classroom. It was nearly halfway through the school year when you joined us. My goodness, what a day that was. Your beach blonde hair and your ecstatic blue eyes haunted me day in and day out. Who would have thought that one average day, forever ago, could shape my entire life up to this moment?
Best friends. That's what we were. That's what we'll always be. Nothing more, nothing less. But I can't stop myself from imagining how it would feel to wake up in your arms, for you to be the first person I lay eyes on. I can't help but dream of walking the beach at sunset, our fingers intertwined and stealing the shortest of kisses. And I can't prevent the constant what if's from plaguing my mind about us falling in love the same way John Green had said; "slowly, and then all at once."
I stop myself short every time. Fear echoes through me at the idea of rejection. Then you'll ask me what's wrong and if I'm okay. I'll simply pretend it was nothing and continue on with my boring, ordinary day.
The gentle touches, the soft whispers, I need them in my life. I need you in my life. I regret every moment that I didn't tell you, that I sat in denial and ignored what was so clearly right under my nose.
Please don't go, please don't move. It won't be the same here in this dark, empty world without you. We're two candles shining through the shadows. Remember? We need each other. Without you, I'll burn out.
Please keep me warm. Please ignite the fire within me. Please light up this cruel, harsh world... with me.
