I always see how different he is whenever they are together. I see how his face lights up whenever they talk, and how his eyes become full of concern whenever it's late night, and she has nobody to accompany her to go home. I was convinced that time that he likes her, the same kind of liking that I have for him, and the kind of liking that I want him to feel for me.
But that's all I thought.
Until one day, he looked me in the eyes, with his dreamy brown eyes and said, "I like her, but I love someone else. I will confess to that someone soon," he stopped for a few seconds then smiled before continuing, " just wait for me."
He left me there swirling with different emotions, unable to maintain the posture I have been keeping. All along my belief that he has fallen for her is keeping me awake at night. But with all the seriousness that his eyes reflect, it is now clear to me that he never did.
He never did love her.
And I don't want to have any ideas, but... why is he making me wait?
