Threads of Words

Twice Interrupted

And another possible situation I could have with you is this or at least something like this,

I could be walking down to the garden and then I see you by yourself on the bench by the tree.

"Hi."

"Hannah?"

"Look, I didn't come over here to yell at you."

He gets up and hugs me.

Why did he do that?
He's the one who stopped talking to me.

So I grasp his back.

I loosen my grasp and slowly pull away and there are tears in his eyes.

"All I wanted to say is that the only reason why I contacted you was because I just couldn't stop thinking about you. I wanted to see how you were doing. And it's my fault ,and I deserve the silence because I ignored you all year. I'm sorry. I let some other guy consume me. But that never worked out.

"Hannah, no it's my fault I shouldn't have done that to you. I got scared. I wanted to see you again. I'm the one who was stupid."

I know that I can't tell him I love him. Not yet. Then he'd really get scared.

"It's okay. I understand. It was all too fast."

He's crying again. Well now emotions. He has them. That's good.

I hug him again and he holds me and pulls me to the bench.

So, we just sit there holding each other, and he kisses my cheek.

Then he says,

"Hey Frisbee girl. I like you."
