Months passed by,
the ones where some glances and smiles were exchanged at the beginning,
the ones where I had taken upon myself not to fear others,
the ones where I had affirmed myself and strengthened my character,
the ones where I had tried, in vain, to forget you,
the ones where every Friday, I watched from the corner of my eye your workout,
the ones where my heart bled when you were talking to the other girls, when you were not even looking at me in the hallways
