“I’m scared, Scott”

December 18. We were at our meeting place at the bottom of the Notre Dame statue. That was the last time we are ever gonna see each other last 2004 so we did the most out of everything.

“About?” Scott replied. He got in closer, kissed my forehead gently and hugged me.

“Us. This is the last time we’re ever going to see each other. I’m scared of what will happen in 2004. What if suddenly the wind changes and we break up?”

"No. I’ll never leave you, mmkay? I love you so much, dear and you know that.” He assured me as he kissed my hand.

The night was cold but he kept me warm all night. We cuddled and it was just too cute. Then all of a sudden,

“Looks like we’ve made it. Look how far we’ve come now, baby.”

I giggled. He sang our favorite song

“We might have took the long way.” I sang along and we both laughed.

I stood quiet and he continued the song.

“They said, I bet they’ll never make it but just look at us holding on. We’re still together, still going strong.” After he sang it, he poked my nose. I giggled knowing that it was too immature though too cute. He held my hand and kissed my nose.

“I love you.”

“I love you too.”

“Poets often describe love as an emotion that we can’t control, one that overwhelms logic and common sense. That’s what it was like for me. I didn’t plan on falling in love with you, and I doubt if you planned on falling in love with me. But once we met, it was clear that neither of us could control what was happening to us. We fell in love despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has only happened once. And that’s why every minute has been seared in my memory. I’ll never forget a single moment”
