DANIEL'S POV:

The world around us froze. This was real. She was here. I couldn't move for minutes. I just looked at her. I studied her eyes, her hair, her lips...Everything that was once mine. I could see tears in her eyes.

To my surprise she put her hand in her t-shirt and took out the other piece of that necklace. The heart with a missing piece. Now, even I had tears in my eyes. I couldn't take it any longer and just ran to her. My hands clenched around her waist as hers locked around my neck.

She was crying silently. I could feel the small shivers from her shoulders. And you know what, I was crying too. Tears were running down from my cheeks right on her hair. I buried my face in her hair and inhaled her scent.

EMILY'S POV:

With his arms around me so tight everything was so damn right. It felt so safe and sound. I was in where I belonged. I knew I belonged there. I felt that we were two jigsaw pieces that completed each other perfectly. "I-I..." I breathed out caressing his hair. I picked up my head from his chest and he replied "Sshhh...." Taking his face in my hands I wiped the tears away. He did the same for me and we just looked at each other.

Until Daniel oh very slowly leaned over to me. I quickened the process and just smashed my lips to his. Everything was just in the it had to be for years. Finally we were back at our souls. I wasn't feeling lost anymore. Every single sense in my body awaken.

I don't know how long we kissed and hugged each other but I could never get enough from him. I just wanted more and more. After years and years without him now everything was fine.

DANIEL'S POV:

"I need you here always." I murmured to her. "Me too." she murmured back between our kisses. "I've been waiting for you for years." she said.

We kissed and cuddled for minutes, maybe hours and then just sat on the bed still our arms around each other. It was nearly dawn and sky was a bit orangish now. "Did Chris got so far...you know last night?" I asked weakly.

Images in my brain of Chris and Emily were stinging my heart. "He would have if I let him. Actually I could have lived that with him. We've been together for 6 months. But something stopped me..." I gave her a questioning look. Wondering what was it.

"Your presence wouldn't let me." she answered. "Starting the very first day I saw you at the cafeteria I knew there was a possibility. I knew it could be you. And I couldn't take the risk of being someone else's..." Her sentence flattered me so I tightened my arms around her a bit.

"I had several girlfriends. But none of them were like you. I kissed them, we made out but I could never take a step forward. Something was always missing without you." I said as she put her head on my chest.

"The tattoo is for you, you know it right?" she asked. I just nodded. "Did it hurt? While you were getting the tattoo." She shook her head "No. Cause it was you who was getting in my skin. It didn't hurt." I smiled warmly and just stood there. Huge silences were cutting our speeches.

"Did you find my letter after the graduation?" she asked looking at me. I nodded. "I read it, I read it over and over. And cried many times." She just looked at me cutely. "But you never did receive the other one, right?" she asked. I was confused. What other letter?

"No I don't think so." I said. "I sent it to your school with your name on it. I thought you'd never get it. But I have a copy with me." she said and taking my hand walked to the living room. She took out an old paper from her bag and handed to me.

I took it from her hands and unfolded it. Her handwriting was just the same as other letters. As I got from the date this letter was written 4 years ago. At second year of high school.

"I have no idea where to send this letter. Don't know where you are. Don't know what to do. I hope you are doing good at your new school. I'm sure you loved it there and I'm really happy for you.

Well for me this place doesn't feel like home anymore. Without you it feels different. But still your voice hunts me down the hallways. Your face is everywhere around me. Your presence follows me with every step I take.

And yes, I missed you like hell. Some mornings when no one is around I go to our old classroom. Sit there in silent tears waiting for a miracle. I can do anything to see you coming in from that door once more. With your scarf and your smile.

Somedays when I see a spot where once we were on I just forget everything and cry. It's hard without you Dan. You have left many memories that I cannot erase, many scars I cannot heal and tons of love is now abandoned.

I even missed your sarcasm sentences. I can die just to hear them once more. I missed how you teased me every second of the day.

I called you many times Daniel believe me. But every time you answered I just couldn't handle my tears so hung up. After a while you started not calling me back. So I gave up. I just hope someday I can see your beautiful eyes again. Cause I really need to get lost in somewhere and your eyes are the best options I got.

Save from this nothingness. I'm tired.

Emily Montez"

After all those tears, hugs, kisses and the letter thing we were laying on the couch with my head on his chest. Each other's breaths were the only things we could hear in that silence. It was about 5 in the morning and the sun was just setting in the sky. His chest was going up and down slowly while his heart was beating right under my ear.

Neither of us was asleep but we had decided to keep silence for a while. It wasn't a decision that we made with words but with our eyes. We both needed just feeling each other and doing nothing else. My eyes were feeling sore because of crying out all those tears. Daniel's hand was wandering in my hair, slowly caressing it.

"I wish we could stay like this, forever." Daniel breathed out in my hair and then left a kiss right there. Not saying anything I just nodded. Words were lost in my head, I was tired. Not just my body, but my mind was really tired too.

This was just like a miracle. I would NEVER EVER believe that this moment would come. Separate years, separate hearts beating for each other. Lost in my thoughts I closed my eyes and before I knew it I was asleep.
