Steve Rogers | The door is always open for you

The morning came like every other. It was just another day in your kind of boring life now. It wasn't boring three months ago, but it was enough time to make your life miss that sparkle. The passion, when you are usually in a healthy relationship. But that was it. You weren't.

At first everything was so perfect! It was like you woke up to be a princess that day, when you met him. It wasn't all that romantic, but many beautiful things aren't all that romantic at first, right? You were in a hurry on your way to work, when you toppled over and your heel got broken. And there he was... A knight in a shining armor, but instead of white horse, he had a white car. You still remember, how you felt lost in his beautiful sky-blue eyes, how his behavior made you feel all giddy and how his smile made you melt. Thinking about it now, it was really great. But that was year ago. At that time, you thought you love would last forever. But no... it didn't. Not for you...

It started three months ago, when ran into this guy. He was nice, friendly and kind. He even gave you his phone number, but you never called him. Though, you had to admit, those butterflies in your stomach made you feel really guilty. You realized, you didn't feel any romantic feelings towards Steve anymore. By the way, he was acting, maybe it was the same way for him...

Since then, you and Steve lived like you were dating and the outside world saw you as a happy couple, because on the outside nothing has changed. But on the inside, both of you were distanced. Perhaps... Maybe it was just in your head, but... You had this feeling, you were even avoiding each other. Because no matter, how hard either of you tried, you just couldn't drop this relationship, fearing that the other might be deeply hurt by this.

Both of you tended to get a lot emotional and you were emphatic as well. That just made it hard for you two. If it was just you, you would probably call it off as soon as the realization made its way to you, but you weren't sure, how Steve was feeling. At the same time, knowing that you don't share the same feelings anymore, wasn't good for you to keep quiet. It wasn't fair to him, and to you either. None of you deserved to be unhappy.

With all these thoughts, you were getting ready for your work. It was going to be a long day, because there were many meetings scheduled and you had to be part of them. Tonight, however, you were supposed to meet Steve at his apartment. It was one of those 'dates', that were done just because it was supposed to work that way. Forced dates weren't exactly the type of dates either of you deserved. It just had to end. This night had to be the night. You were going to confess and tell him.

Besides being your boyfriend, he was also your good friend. You weren't sure, if you broke up with him, your friendship would remain. Then again, at this point, you weren't sure of anything... He was always there for you to listen. But nowadays, you had this feeling, he wasn't listening anymore. He was with thoughts elsewhere. And you couldn't be even mad at him. Now, was that a healthy relationship? Was that even relationship? No... It was a responsibility.

For the whole day at work, you were replaying the beautiful moments and parts of your relationship. There were many, you wouldn't lie about that. It made you really nostalgic. At some point, you even had to leave to the bathroom to calm yourself down, because before you even knew it, tears were rolling down your cheeks. You wondered, when it all went wrong... But there were no answers, it just happened. Maybe you and Steve just weren't meant to be...

There were nostalgic smiles and drops of tears through the day. But one by one left a pleasant feeling inside your chest, even if it hurt. You knew, you were the one, who could spend those moments with him. Those were yours and Steve's. No one would take away your memories.

You remembered very first date, even though you had met couple of times before. He was dressed in casual clothes, that made him look enough comfortable. But you were overdressed, your dress being too formal. Despite of this little of fact, you had enjoyed the date. You went to a restaurant – not expensive, not cheap. Cinema wasn't really an option, because none of you had really felt up to it, so instead, there was slow walk around the park. Those were hours and hours of circles. But your feet never hurt. It was just perfect. And even now, you were grateful, that it was Friday, because you got home in Saturday morning. You were walking and talking all night. None of you got tired or bored.
