Intersecting Lines

Prologue

And here I am.
Gazing at his fascinating deep brown eyes that never failed to glisten.

Maybe it would have worked. Maybe, I should still be looking at him straight in the eyes and smile as if he was my only happiness. Maybe, it would have been better if everything worked out perfectly.

"So, how are you?" He asked, looking back at scenery infront of us.

"Fine. I guess." I answer after 5 seconds of thinking if I really were.

"I'm sorry." He said to me, the sincerity in his voice unfiltered.

"Look," I replied, gaining his attention. "when you were with me, I really felt that she was really the one you love."

The atmosphere thickened as we stared at each other.

"I can't help but think about everything and I thought maybe it was the wrong time for us." I stated with full honesty. "But, with you being so happy with her, maybe it was really meant to end."

He was silenced, not really knowing what to say.

"She's everything that I wasn't." I looked at him with my dark brown eyes filling up with tears. "She's prettier, she's smaller, she's intelligent, she's kind, and maybe she loves math." I laughed bitterly knowing that I hate math.

"I never saw you making efforts that much for me. I guess you really love her." I looked down, feeling the cold breeze as my tears rolled down my cheeks.

"Augatha..." He spoke.

"It's fine. You're both happy. Am I going to ruin that for the both of you?" I said, quickly wiping off my tears.

He smiled.
That was the smile I fell for. The smile that makes his eyes glisten even more. But it hurt me knowing that he was not smiling for me anymore.

I really wish that this moment wouldn't end because maybe, this is the last time I'll see him smile at me.

Yet, he still got away and broke my heart because he loves her more.

At that moment I thought, I was the wrong person for him.

I had to let him go.
