"la la laaa laa laa la la laaa"

That's all I could hear, the voice coming from somewhere in the park, Among all the green grass, there was a little pond in the middle, lights centered on it making the water shine in different blue and pink shades, with beautiful leafs flowing on top, flowers are beautifully laying next to the water. About 6 feet away from the pond there was wooden table covered with a white sheet and two wooden chairs on each side. White plates and silver table settings, a bottle of wine in an ice chiller carrier are neatly set on the table with a picnic basket laying on the floor.

"You say you've seen too many things that turn out to be too good to be true", I listen carefully to the familiar voice, the one bringing back a beautiful memory I had about a month ago, I look behind me, to where the voice is coming from and my senses seem to be still working, it's exactly who I thought it would be.

"Against your better judgment, opened up your heart 'till you found the joke was on you", There he was, standing with that great guitar of his, playing it beautifully, making an angelic harmony with his voice, my heart starts pounding as I listen to Zayn singing the rest fo the song.

"Looking out on the rest of our lives, if we're gonna be together or apart, About the only way I know how to come is right straight from my heart.", He continues singing, I take a few steps closer so I can take a good look at him, still keeping a distance but barely seeing his features, his cheeks were red, his eyes seemed to be a bit puffy and he looked like he had tears just about on the edge of his eyes. He continued to sway his tall strong fingers on the chords of his brown acoustic guitar.

"I want you now, I'll show you how, I can be the man you need me to be. I've been around, but now I've found that you're the only one for me .. Say you'll never fall again, you wont subject yourself to such a pain, if you give me half a chance I will never leave you standing out in the rain"

He starts to take a few steps towards where I was standing, his voice sounding as sincere as ever, "But if you think that I could look you in your face and lie right through my teeth then turn around and walk away .. Cross my heart, girl I care for you and when I look into your eyes I must say, I want you know, I'll show you how, I can be the man you need me to be. I've been around, but now I've found that you're the only one for me"

By this time, the only thing standing between us was his guitar, I could see his whole face, his eyes, his hair, I can even smell his familiar scent that takes me to a whole new place, "I need you so, I can't let go, Gonna be all that I can be, I want you still, I always will, Cause you're the only one for me" , by this, he was done singing, he puts his guitar down to his side and sings one last note, "Cause baby you're the only one for me"

I stood still, not sure whether to run, break down on the floor and start sobbing or beat the crap out of him for being too mad at him .. My emotions were confusing me that I had no idea what to do or what to say, I wasn't sure why I couldn't move, either because of the fact that my legs are practically paralyzed at the moment or because I felt like now I have no way out but to actually listen to him. The feeling of not being able what to do, feeling helpless and weak made me cry. Zayn did it again, he managed to get to me and break the wall by writing me a beautiful song, it made me more frustrated, he can't just use me and make me forget everything by a song.

Before I know it, Zayn's thumb was on my cheek, wiping away the tear I uncontrollably let out, "Please let me explain", he whisperd. I didn't say a word, I was still not capable of finding any, instead, I just looked at the ground.
