Prologue:
I wonder when did winter became this warm.
How did the cold breeze of this thin winter air bring so much warmth and comfort?
I love you…,
You said.
Tiffany Sanders. I love you. This feeling has been growing since the first time we met. I never even thought that it would last this long. I guess, the love you are trying to get rid of is usually the love that refuses to go away…
Hearing you say it, made my heart jump from the vicinity of this neighborhood towards the holes of the galaxy where all the stars in heaven may lingered.
I want to say that I feel the same way too.
The universe knows how much I do.
For the past 5 years that I haven’t met you, I have been looking for you.
For the past 5 years that I haven’t met you, I have been longing for you.
For the past 5 years that I haven’t met you, I have missed you…
The thing is, I can’t say it.
The words that have been waiting to be uttered, are now keeping it all in silence.
The words that have been messing up with me since high school are now keeping itself hidden in the corners of my mind.
I…
I want to say it. I want to tell you that I feel the same way too.
I… actually…
I closed my eyes to get my self together.
This is the right time. I know. After keeping it for a long time, I know this is now the right time.
You already took the courage to say it. You said it despite the thousand rejections that you have received.
You already did the first move, so it s just the right thing that I take the courage as well, right?
Nothing is wrong with telling you that I like you, right?
I opened my eyes, ready to let the word out of my mouth.
But, all that met my eyes were blinding lights-
as I look at your every step away from me. You were getting further… and further…until I can no longer see you from my eyes. Then I asked, were all I love you’s said before saying goodbye?
