The Clear Picture of Us

I opened my eyes before your sleeping face. Suddenly, scenes of all those times we've been through came rushing, until we reached this peaceful haven we've been dreaming ever since. I have a clear picture of everything that happened. It was clear since the first time we met. It was an awkward encounter when you gave me a ride home even if I said no many times, just because I'm Ellie's best friend. It was clear to me that you were doing this for Ellie. But it was clear to us as well that you were not Ellie's type. And that was the time when I was whacking your head with words about moving on. And during that time as well, you got a glimpse of my bubbly personality. Then I was caught by my brother and he mistakenly pointed you out as my suitor. And I started acting different. I guess I'm feeling something peculiar towards you whenever we talk. And I hate this feeling. I don't even know you this much that's why I started thinking practically. But my efforts were wasted and you caught me. I ran away. You kept on asking me why. You even wait after my classes just to ask... And to tell me that you also feel the same. But I'm clinging to my doubts because I used to tell you that Ellie and I were almost the same. She's my sister. But Ellie had her ways and so, we had us. It was great. But we also had our fights, breaking us apart. Destroying what we've started until we became numb and totally parted our own ways. But you told me that it was hard on your part so you courted me all over again. And then the rest is history. I can't contain my feelings right now just by looking at your sleeping face. Tears started falling. Up to now, I can't believe all of these happened. Man, I'm still in awe, just like the first time.

I pinched your nose and it crinkled, then you smiled. Sweetly. Then you muttered "Good morning" but you pouted the moment you saw me cry.  You asked my why. I shook my head gently, whispering, "Nothing. I'm just happy to have you here. Iloveyou,"  then you planted a kiss on my head.

And so, I developed another clear picture of us in my mind that will keep me giggling even in my next life.
