My first short story and post here, so, please don't be harsh on me. But I'm glad to accept comments, and please vote. :)

*Flashback*
I really love you, but we are still young. I'm sorry. Until we meet again.
Those were the words I heard from Oliver's mouth before we parted. I remember that day, that very day when we said our goodbyes. I was staring deeply in his brown eyes, and got lost. I thought that letting go of him was the best thing for us to do, but I realized that I cannot continue my life without him. He gave me a new life. He gave me hope, strength and love.
Before I met him, my life was a puzzle, I was imperfect. Everything in my life was a mess; my family, school, friends, everything. When he came into my life, everything was in perfect harmony. It was like he was the puzzle's missing piece, the conductor of an untrained orchestra, the air I breathe. And now that he is gone, my life was again in chaos.
*Present*
I was about 2 blocks away from school when I saw a familiar figure walking towards the school gate. I stop and convinced myself that it's impossible, so I continued walking. The bell has already rung when I walked in. I was doodling on my notebook when our teacher entered the room. She was introducing a transfer student to us. Oliver Dowell. I was still doodling on my notebook when I remembered that name. It was familiar, I thought. Then the memories burst in me. Oliver Dowell. How could I forget his name? He was my first heart break; the one whom I dedicated my life to; the one whom I shared my dreams with. Tears started to roll down my face. I wiped them before anyone notice me. I ducked on my desk so he wouldn't notice me. The class went on without me listening. Finally, the class was dismissed.
On my way home, I saw him again, walking towards me. Wait, he's walking towards me?! I was about to turn and walk away from him when I felt a familiar touch. He grabbed me carefully by my arm and I had no choice but to face him. I stared into his stunning brown eyes and got lost. Again. Even though there was silence, I can feel what he wants to tell me. Actions speak louder than words. I know what he feels, and I still feel the same way. I still love him. I still want him in my life.
Raindrops started pouring but we don't care getting wet. We were with each other again and we're happy and satisfied.
"I love you" Oliver whispered to me.
"I love you more." I replied.
My life was now again perfect, with him by my side. I can continue living my life. The untrained orchestra before was now a perfect one, singing my life's song. My life was again in harmony.

You finally understand yourself when you fall in love. This is because, when you're in love, you find your missing piece in that person.
