People say love is stupid and love is blind. I'll have to agree to those things. I met him at class and we were good friends. We vowed to be good friends till the very end. But our vow was short lived. Cupid came and played with my emotions regarding him and I fell for him and tried hiding my feelings. For two years I never expressed it and once I heard he was seeing somebody I was broken. Terribly. He started finding me being different towards him.
After a few days I got to know that his girl left him. He was depressed and started finding solace in me. I too liked being around him and I asked him if he liked anyone. Without thinking he just gave a reply. His answer was a yes. I was surprised yet I did not bother asking how could he fall in love with someone so soon. I asked who his new love was he just said "I'll make you meet her on my birthday and this is a promise".
On his birthday I reminded him of his promise and he too said he remembered. So after classes got over we were walking along with a friend and talking. I asked him when he was gonna make me meet her though I had a heavy heart. After a while he asked his friend to go and wait for him and he dragged me somewhere. No one was around. I asked him where she was. He said "She's standing right in front of me". That's when I realised he was talking about me the whole time. I was overjoyed yet I didn't find the right words to express myself. He said those magical words "I love you". I couldn't respond. I was numb with happiness. I just silently nodded and ran away out of shyness.
The next day he revealed the truth that he never actually wasn't in love with anyone and it was big fat lie and he loved me from the very beginning. He was afraid of losing me so he just didn't express his feelings for me.
Times change. People change. We were together for 2.5 years. And I have no idea what happened to us. From love birds we've become strangers. But one thing is for sure.
First love never dies...
