I woke up with her beside me, as the rays of the morning sun lights up her round shaped face, with almond eyes that sparkle every time she smiles that makes her cheeks go pinkish. Her pointed nose that matches her lips that has a heart-like shape which sums up a beautiful goddess whom I'm staring at. "Good morning" she whispered. She piles them pancakes up with butter and chocolate syrup separating each piece.

I asked her out on a date. After minutes of waiting, I was mesmerized on how beautiful she was wearing a white shirt paired with ripped jeans and sneakers making her look aesthetic with just a simple combination of clothing considering her wavy hair tied up leaving some strands on the side of her face. On our way to the place where we usually go to. Despite her pernickety attitude, she never gets tired of going to this place.. the place where each cracker creates a beautiful scenery as it touches the sky. The aura inside the vehicle became bright as she smiled at me giving a sign that made me smile as well. Everything was in slow motion I looked at her once again and I can see happiness on her face. I squeezed her soft hand feeling her warm temperature. I can hear the fireworks explode in the sky. Everyone was astonished by the beauty it makes. But nothing can be more beautiful than the girl who's smiling in front of me at this moment.

We bid our goodbyes and parted our ways after dropping her. The drive went smooth passing through intersections like I was the only one on the road. A red light stopped me from stepping on the gas. 3 chimes from my handphone. Not thinking twice. Turning left to the u-turn slot.

It will never be okay said the girl whom I picked up. Flashbacks triggering her. Fast heart beat like she's losing breath. I felt her sweaty palm as she held my hand. Nervousness, is all I can see in her eyes full of tears running onto her cheeks. I hugged her to make her feel safe and protected.

I carried and placed her on the shotgun seat while she's wrapped in with her favorite blanket. I packed everything up. A simple camping can boost her a bit. She looked at me while her eyebrows were pretzel knots and answered her with a smile. I'm ready. I opened the window beside her. Admiring the scenery while the sunlight is all on her face. We ran at the seashore. Waves touching our feet. Footprints on the sand. A smile on her face was shown. I wish I could see this forever. I gave her a broken smile trying to stop a teardrop from falling. I sat down and called her. Everything was again in slow motion as an Epitome of Beauty walk towards me. The sun is starting to set. All worries on me. Heart beats fast. Our memories were flashing in my mind like everything was all a dream. She rested her head on my shoulder. I gave her a forehead kiss "You're safe now. Thank you. I love you"
