Wearing Her Shoes

A Disasterous Confession

Liam's POV

        Her beautiful hair was tied in a messy braid, some of it flying around her from the wind. Her baby blue dress was covering her shoes and arms, just like a typical countryside dress. I watched her from a distance carry her heavy bag unsteadily out of the train. She looked like an angel coming into the devil's house. She seemed lost in the crowd of city residents. I didn't know whether I should approach her or stay away, for she might suspect my intentions. Memories, beautiful memories. Who would think that she'd be my employee, just several days later? Who would imagine that she'd change my life so much since she came into it?

"I will never stop tryin'

I will never stop watchin' as you leave

I will never stop losin' my breath

Every time I see you lookin' back at me"

            The song carried me away, just like her beauty did. Maybe it isn't all about her physical beauty. It's also about her funny, determined, passionate, and even silly character. She saved me from my state of bewilderment, and convinced me to enter nursing school. I'm glad I didn't just follow my previous plans of working with my high school degree in the bakery. Sara, what a beautiful name!

"And I will never stop holdin' your hand

I will never stop openin' your door

I will never stop choosin' you, babe

I will never get used to youuu

Still get my heart racing for youuu

Still get my heart racing for youuu

Still get my heart racing for youuu

Still get my heart racing for you"

            I swear I do, Sara. My heart still races for you, just like the first time I saw you. You gave me the determination to seek a dream, and look at me now; I just finished my masters and was promoted to a nurse practitioner. I want to make you proud. I want to tell you how much I owe you, how much I care about you, how much I love you.

"I will never stop tryin'

I will never stop watchin' as you leave

I will never stop losin' my breath

Every time I see you lookin' back at me

And I will never stop holdin' your hand

I will never stop openin' your door

I will never stop choosin' you, babe

I will never get used to you"

After reaching success, I feel ready to confess my feelings. I've been hesitant and scared for the past few days, but now I won't hesitate another second. I won't wait. I've been very patient for long. I will finally ask you the question I've been waiting to ask for years: Sara, will you love me back? Will you be mine?

"Liam! Liam!" I heard Eliza say disturbing my reverie. She waved her hand in front of my eyes and added, "Where did you go, mister? Did she take your mind like she did to your heart?"

"What? Who?" I answered taken off guard.

"Sara of course, lover boy," she teased.

"Yeah, right," I replied rolling my eyes.

"Well, what do you think?" she asked.

"Of what?"

"Ugh! My voice, Liam!" she grunted.
