A Mystery

Hurricane

I walk with my best friend through the park,
Explaining the trip I took to love island with you.
She stops.
She asks if you were looking at me most of the time.
How could I not notice those vibrant eyes?
The butterflies. Those senses.
She asks if you seemed nervous.
According to her, your knee which constantly moves is a sign of nervousness.
To me, it is your beat. It is your music.
I question why she asks me these many questions.
Apparently it's obvious.
You... love me.

My heart skips a beat.
All of my most deepest wishes have come true!
The wishes that have been kept away in the bottom of the ocean.

Am I dreaming this?
Is this true?
I see you walking towards me with your head held high and a wide, confident smile across your face.
Rain begins to fall down.
Making your curly hair connect to your perfect face.

You take my hand and stare into my eyes.
I feel as if I'm in a dream.
Your blue eyes send me away to a place I've never been before.
Somewhere untouched, perfect and beautiful.
You confess your love and explain how you have loved me for so long.
But too nervous to talk.
Too scared to confess.
Too afraid of the reaction.
How can you be so afraid?
We star into each other's eyes,
Hopelessly in love.
Until...

You take my best friend's hand and stare into her eyes.
You confess your love for her and explain how you have loved her for so long.
You were too nervous to talk to her.
Too scared to confess your love for her.
Too afraid of the reaction that you would get from her.
How could you do this?
You stare into her eyes,
Hopelessly in love.

The world stops.
The rain pauses mid air.
I realise what I have just heard.
I felt safe with you.
I felt at home with you.
I fell in love with you.
The heavy rain continues to pour.
Tears fall down my face,
Like the raindrops of the hurricane.
