The Other Side of the door (Taylor Swift)

Chapter 2:The girl with ocean blue eyes is?

Nathan

Still unable to forget the incident that didn't leave my mind for 24 hours, I was still curious about the name of the mystery girl. But I didn't have time to gather up my thoughts since I was late for class.

I ran as fast and far as my feet would have dragged me and finally, I reached the door to my school.

A school in which I dreamt of graduating as a student majoring in Law. Hoping to be a good lawyer, I strived to keep my grades from flunking but this time, for the first time, I was actually late for class, just because I was still sunk in the thought of the girl who had a tight grip on me.

I ran along the hallways trying to make my way to class while clutching to the books that would seem to fall anytime.

Finally, I got to class, I took a deep breath as soon as I sat down next to the girl named Lena .

She was my life, my other half who I seemingly thought was going to be my wife, but she went to another man's arms. I was pretty stupid to let her go like that but how could I hold unto someone who wants to break free. It wasn't a petty reason but for no particular reason at all, even though I loved her, it just seemed right to let her go after all.

Talking to myself while doodling, without knowing, I was sketching her eyes, those ocean blue colored eyes that tainted my heart and stopped me from my tracks, those eyes that sucked me into an oblivion, whenever I remembered, my heart suddenly race and explode inside my chest, making me feel constricted.

Why am I feeling this way? What is this seemingly unstoppable feeling in my chest? Is this LOVE?

Taylor

I was sitting on the couch with a guitar on my lap and a pen between my fingers and a paper on top of the table in front me.

Strumming the guitar absentmindedly. Image flashes through my eyes as I remember his forest green eyes that seem to have caught me by surprise as to why I felt safe looking at them.

Months ago I remember the same kind of green eyes as he had but his were different. His eyes has the shade of the forest green while the man I dated who seemingly has the same pair of green eyes were darker than his. We were madly in love with each other yet we drifted apart. I thought he was the one and again I'm wrong. Then a melody came to me.

"Rain came pouring down when I was drowning

That's when I could finally breathe

And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean"

I sang the words and wrote them down on my songbook.

Few hours later I finished the song and entitled the song 'Clean'.

An hour or so I made up my mind to write a song about the mystery man.

Another words came to me as soon as I thought of him.

"Nice to meet you, where you been?

I could show you incredible things

Magic, madness, heaven sin

Saw you there and I thought

Oh my God, look at that face

You look like my next mistake

Love's a game, want to play?"

Without hindrance, I finished the song quickly. As soon as I wrote the lyrics, I didn't notice the time flew by and it was already pass 7.

I thought that maybe I could see him again at the grocery store where I first saw him.

I got dress and quickly ran out the door the same time I did. Pulse still running, I got to the store but I couldn't see or find him anywhere.

Just as I was about to give up searching for him, the door suddenly opened and I saw him, the same green eyes that was so familiar.

As soon as he turned to look at me, I rushed to the last aisle, heart still pounding, I tried to catch my breath but when I turned he was already there, just a few meters away from where I was standing.

He didn't seem to notice me since he was pre occupied with what he was buying. I think he was avoiding my eyes purposely since I notice him glancing whenever he could slip an eye.

He wasn't trying to approach me but he was always a 3 steps away from me. I wonder why he wouldn't even come close to ask me my name. But guys are guys.

They're sometimes shy and unpredictable. But oh well its his lost if he doesn't come to me because I only wanted to see him but never did it cross my mind that he'd want to be with me so i just wrote him a song.

A perfect song for someone who cant be a man about what he feels and what he needs to do. Such shameful man, I think I hate him, but so do they say "the more you hate, the more you love"

So is this me liking a guy? Or me falling in love with a guy?

2nd chapter. Hope you like. Don't forget to
