Only In Memories

Chapter 2: The one at shore

                                             We find unexpected fulfillment 

                                         In places we never thought we'd be

                                         A fulfillment able to null our lament

                                  in this place where there is just you and me

In front of the ocean, Within the beach. I found what I didn't expect to find.

"This is yours right" He asked me with a smile in His face, Showing a kind gesture as He hands me the piece of paper that had been blown by the wind besides Him.

"Yeah, It is" I sad as I grab the paper from Him and began to sort out my works back into the compiler.

"So you new around here or you just rarely come to the beach" He suddenly asks me who was clearly preoccupied with filing back my poems into the compiler.

"I shouldn't really be talkin to a stranger, But I realized answering your question is basically talking..so No, I'm not new here I just never really went to the beach"  I tell Him. He then flashes me with a sweet smile which reveals His very cute dimples.

"Well then little buddy, This strangers actually got a name. It's Syrus, Syrus Grabriel" He introduces Himself to me while reaching out His right arm.

"I'm Danielle Thorn, Nice to make your acquaintance Mr. Gabriel" I introduce myself as I reach my arm out to shake His.

He looks at me with a little shock in His face which then immediately turns into a handsome grin. "Common Danielle little buddy, Were both like the same age lighten up" He cheerfully says as He taps my shoulder playfully.

At that moment, The moment when our hands touched I felt a feeling inside of me. A different kind of feeling from the one that eventually led me to find answers here in this beach. It was that peculiar feeling.

There was no denying it, That feeling when someone confidently hold your hand as you both run through beach caring not a thing for the world around you. The feeling when you both just sit on there as you talk on and on about who you want to be or dreams you want to fulfill. It was that feeling of love.

The feeling I felt the moment I laid eyes on the boy by the shore that night as the sounds of the ocean waves drown out everything else around me. 

  In that moment I felt like I had found a piece of me that I was separated from since birth and yet there was caution in that feeling. There was also fear in it, Fear that if I ever got close to this wonderful stranger in front of me He would one day eventually find out what I am. Even worse what I feel about Him and what if He was like them.

One decision to be in love with one stranger can cause me everything.

But naivety was part of my youth, There are just some things that you can't deny yourself no matter how much you know it could eventually backfire on you and wouldn't you know it. falling in love was one of them.
