This was a first.
I have never had a male friend coming to my house, let alone the fact that I am having mixed emotions about him.
You came with a bouquet full of white lilies, I thought that was adorable, a little bit awkward too.
I mean we are only friends, but it never seemed that way, at least not to me.
The dinner went nicely,  my parents adore you.
You always were good with adults.

You were shaking hands with my father, who looked really pleased, saying something to you lowly.
The little talk you had in the garden went well, it seemed.
You smiled at his words, I have been looking at you for far too long not to realise something was wrong, your eyes held so much sadness.
I was walking you to your car after my parents went inside their house.
How was it? I said.
Great, your parents are really good people.
Thank you, I couldn't stop myself from asking, so what did you discuess with my dad?
You shrugged, the usual, school, future plans, football and stuff.
Really, well what did he say when you were shaking hands? I really wanted to know.
Do you want to know that badly.
I blushed, lowering my head.
You laughed, he told me to take care of you.
I looked up, meeting your beautiful eyes, your very sad eyes.
I hugged you for minutes, it did not feel weird at all.
You needed the hug, I knew you did even if you did not  want to share it with me.
I hated seeing you sad.
I hated the fact that I didn't know the reason behind your sadness.
But talking to you and having you by my side is more than I've ever wanted.
