Whatever We Deny Or Embrace

"Do you still love him?"

Of course she still loved him. She had never stopped. Although he had never really noticed her, she somehow fell in love with a mere glance.

It was a quick glance but she felt her world become still when he saw her look at her.

When he got closer that day, her heart beat a little faster and when she got home she thought about him.

Everytime she saw him with her, her heart would break just a little more.

Why couldn't she find someone like him for her?

She understood that maybe he wasn't made for her but the novels she read and the movies she watched told her that they would end up together because she was the underdog.

Too bad this was real life.

And she wasn't Cinderella.

He wouldn't leave her mind and soon he began to appear in her dreams.

When she found out her was taken, her heart broke but he was never hers was he?

He never spoke to her.

He didn't smile at her.

He didn't give her that warm hug she craved.

He didn't look back as she passed.

He only glanced.

It was only a second long and that was all it took for her to fall in love.

No matter how hard she tried he wouldn't leave her mind no matter how much it killed her to love a taken guy.

Months later, she continued to glance at him but he wouldn't see her.

Soon she gave up, it was hopeless.

She accepted that he wasn't hers to love and she tried to let him go. Even though he always seemed to be there in the back of her mind, she eventually let go.

It was only a crush afterall.

Everytime she saw him with her, her heart would break just a little more.

Why couldn't she find someone like him for her?

She understood that maybe he wasn't made for her but the novels she read and the movies she watched told her that they would end up together because she was the underdog.

Too bad this was real life.

And she wasn't Cinderella.
