The first time we talked...

              I thought he was an ass....

Then i found out different...

              only to be betrayed....

Later...

              when he told me a terrible truth...

the feeling was lost...

              only to later be rekindled by respect....

All i could say...

              of my remark one day....

was...

              'Really? You have got to be kidding....'

After his lie...

              I didn't trust him... 

somehow, though... 

              deep down, I fell in love....

"How did this happen?" 

              was all i could say....

"I'm in love with my neighbor!"

              The infamous Ryan...

                            the backstabbing choral student....

I asked my friend again and again...

              "How is this possible?"

She said again and again...

              "Even though he's your enemy, you're obsessed with him!"

I didn't understand...

              until he said...

                            "Adios people! I'm am moving out of my house and into a friend's! I am no longer riding this bus!"

My heart sunk with a thundering crash...

              that rang in my ears...

'No.... but how will I remember you?'

             Is what I thought in that moment...

A phrase rang in my head...

              "Take a picture...

                            ...it lasts longer..."

'No, no!' I retorted...

              but still it pressed on...

And so I took...

              the final memory...

                            and held it beside my heart....

A wish, near silently, escaped my lips...

              "Don't leave my love...

                            ...I am still in need of your guidance...."

I said farewell to him, that very night...

              and yet he appeared, within my sight...

                            sitting in my favorite seat....

                                          "Ryan!"

                                                        "I'm not moving Zelda."

                                                                      "I don't care."
