I grew to see more features of his personality than that of physical features . it was in the way he spoke , how he always had the urge to introduce me to something new . His tone becomes slightly pitcher when too excited , he almost speaks absolute gibberish and somehow I fully understand what he has to say .
Every time I finally convince myself that we're not meant to be together , he just does something that makes me so sure that I can't go on with my life without him . just like astronauts in space, trying to adapt to the nonexistence of gravity , but then the nausea hits them when they look back at earth and remember what gravity felt like .
Gravity is only appreciated by those who are weightless in space , and that is what I was . an homesick astronaut , tortured by the sight of earth from my spaceship , holding on to a memory of gravity , yet unable to have it .
He's my gravity.
People will mock me for falling too quick , they will say you have to have lots of experiences in love first to find the right person.
I say , you have to find the right person to experience lots of love.
There was a beautiful sunset that day. I called him , he picked up immediately
"wherever you are , look up right now" I said with joy .
"in that case , you want me to stare at the ceiling ?" he chuckled
"idiot , go check the sky , NOW" I was laughing now .
I could hear him fumbling around to get off his chair , and walking his way to the balcony .
"woah , Nance this is beautiful , I've never seen anything like this" , his voice was a bit lower now , a little deeper than usual , as if he just saw a whole new side of the world .
"see ? didn't I tell you ?" , I was calm too now , hearing his voice accompanied by the view in front of me was more than enough. he continued , " I don't mean just the view , I mean you too , your mindset , your thoughts , the way you look at things , the way you make me look at things" . I was caught off guard by all this "I-I don't know , I guess I just want to share everything on my mind..."
I paused then continued with almost a whisper "but not with anyone except for you"
We were quiet for a few seconds
"Nance , can we do that when we meet ? can we watch the sky , whether its day or night? " , he had that familiar urge in his voice .
"why? are we gonna recreate a high school musical scene ?" i hid my nervousness with sarcasm.
"ha-ha very funny , no its just the kind of thing that me and you should do together , it would be nice , just the two of us"
us , one word that made me sure where I want to be in life
