Through It All

I

I was running toward a love, that I could never touch; toward a feeling, that I could never catch.

What was killing me is knowing he had the same feelings for me. But I couldn't undertand why did he gave up on me so easily, when I was ready, much more than ready, to fight for him, to fight for us.

He was the one who believed in US from the beginning. He was the one who was trying to convince me to start our relationship, when I was insisting on staying friends for a while.

I can't forget my sixteenth birthday. That night, he surprised me with a cake at my door. Then, he took me and my brother out to a party, where Amy -his cousin and my ex-bestfriend- and her brother were waiting for us.

I danced with him all night long.

He was looking me in the eyes, while we were dancing. His brown beautiful eyes were driving me crazy.

I felt butterflies in my stomatch as his hand touched the centre of my back.
Then, he placed his other hand gently arround my waist as we continued to dance.

His body became closer to mine. I heard my heart beating faster and faster. My arms were shaking. I couldn't help but hug him. I felt safe in his arms. And for the first time in my life, I felt in love.

That night I knew how much I loved him, and I knew that I couldn't hide the feelings I had for him anymore. And he knew it, too.
