"Why do you like him?" is what they always ask me.
Hearing this unleashed all my thoughts about you. These thoughts started swarming in my head, making me feel dizzy.
"Let me think about it for a sec." I told them.
And as soon as I formed those words, you're instantly on my mind. I saw you.
I saw your weak smile when bad things happen and you try to comfort me. I saw your shoulders, moving up and down as you laugh at my terrible jokes. I saw your concerned eyes digging inside my soul; always knowing when I'm sad. I saw your creased forehead as I admit something I did wrong; but immediately seeing your crooked smile that follows when you forgive me and tell me that it's fine.
But above all those things I saw, I heard a sound. A sound so beautiful and probably my favorite one: your heartbeat. I even felt its thump as it rhythmically joined mine. And that's when I know why.
Instead, I shook my head at them saying "I don't know, I just like him." Because I don't want to share my favorite sound, they might fall for it, too.
