the story of you

Amidst The Chaos, My Eyes Caught Yours

It was the middle of the night; my eyes caught yours. This all might sound cliche, but I never thought this'd happed to me. You showed up out of nowhere; without a warning. Who would've thought it'd be you in the end? my closest friend of 5 years prior, how? how could it have been you?

It all started on January 1st, 12AM to be specific. I know, could it have started more perfectly? Another casual day with friends, except we were 504 miles away from home, not that far, but enough to escape the recklessness of nervous classmates not ready to graduate high school. My friends and I, however, had it all figured out. I always had all my choices made for me by my parents, I was practically robotic at this point, programmed by them to accommodate their wants, that's why I lashed out at a young age, rebelling in every chance I got. I still think to myself if loving you was another act of rebellion, or was it true? We've been friends for 5 years but I only really knew you a year ago. Because we had our life all figured out, we all decided to take a trip away, one last chance to act out, before we had to go back to our normal lives. It was us 5 friends, having our first breath of freedom.

Everything was normal until January 1st, when I'd realized amidst the roaring fireworks that no matter where I was or what's going on in my life, being around you made me feel okay, you made me feel things I haven't felt before, and I was instantly hooked. We had so much in common, but not the lame small stuff, but things that make us feel the most. I knew you, you hate the taste of coffee, you love meeting new people, you're moody yet never liked to share your emotions, no matter how much it hurt your friends, you never answer when someone asks what your favorite color is, even though it's blue. So blue, this is my letter to you, to share the secret I've been keeping from you for the past 398 days.
