To my almost Romeo

Info

I saw you.

Your wide radiant smile, was painted all over your face.

Those beautiful eyes I used to adore, were still as beautiful as ever.

The way your curvy lashes moved, when you blinked, still made my heart flutter.

Your towering height was still intimidating. But the comfort it gave me before, just because of your mere presence, spread warmth in me. It was so amazing, that you could make me feel protected.

Yes, because with you, I felt so vulnerable.

You were there. A few yards away from me. You didn't see me. But I could. I could even see you, walking your way throughout the crowd. You still caught my attention. I could still make up your silhouette. I could still spot you that easily even at a distance.

You didn't see me. Bet you wouldn't even figure out I was nearby whatever the odds were. You never looked at other places anyway. You're so focused on one thing.

Her.

You were laughing with her. You were holding the hand of the girl you now love. And it seemed like time and space warped together that everything turned invisible for the both of you.

And I was there, looking at the both of you. I was watching my closest friends, like you both were in a real life romantic movie. 'Twas like you both were my favorite actors. You were both supposed to have me entertained. I was supposed to be giddy, and enthused. I was supposed to feel that funny gay feeling I often felt.

But I just mute the sound of my pounding heart against my ears. I was afraid you would've heard it. That you would've noticed me and those bright smiles would fade away, eventually.

Or maybe you wouldn't ever. You now had your own rhythm, your own tune. And that melody didn't sync with mine.

It's painful. So painful, but I just blinked the tears away.

I gulped the sour, prickly feeling against my throat.

I wanted to cry it out. But the tears never came. Nothing came. So, I just took a deep breath and smiled.

I smiled. Because you're now very happy. You chose the happiness you ever wanted.

I took a step back and turned away.

I never felt that pain and joy could be felt all at the same time... But I guess, it will only be YOU, ONLY had been with you, that I felt such a mixture of unknown stir everything inside me.

A sigh of relief has escaped in my mouth.

That's all I ever wanted anyway.

To see the one I love happy.

To see you laugh, smile and be as carefree as you could be.

Even if it's not with me.

it's ok. take your time. there's no time limit in moving on. you can't force yourself to be ok. remember that sometimes, it's ok not to be ok.
