Love At First Sight

It's all the same. We started out as friends then bestfriends and lastly lovers. It's a cliche,i guess. Only that,mine didn't last like others did. It begins when the crowd are saying that we have the couple sport shoes. A orange neon with the same neon laces. It's obvious since it's neon and no one else dare to wear neon shoes to run in the forest. We were embarassed because we were strangers at first and you're from another elementary school. 

So,u started the conversation. Asking about my marathon timing and congratulating me for the good run. But you didn't stop there. You said it was a coincidence of our shoes. Then,at last, you asked my name and what's my grade. I'd asked the same questions too. You're from 9th grade,which is a year older than me. I choked when you said that you thought i was from 7th grade since i look younger than the others. You're funny and the way you talked were full of confidence and spontaneous. 

After long,there's a tiny feeling for you in this little heart of mine. But i didn't straight away fall for you,since my mind is still full of my ex boyfriend. I haven't been in any realationships after that heartbreaking breakup two years ago. Eventhough i know it was too young to fall in love,but we didn't even think about it because we aren't even matured. But now,i've think it through. I want to make it slow and steady. I didn't want to make the same mistakes again and i didn't want to fall for the same traps again. I didn't want to cry for these love-things again. I didn't want to regret for wasting my time for love again. I just.. don't want to repeat the same mistakes i made and messed everything up. Again! So.. you'd get it and yeah.. we didn't talk for a long time after that.

I started another conversation,asking if you're mad at me about my decision. You answered that you're not even angry at me but you're giving me space and time to relax my mind and not too focus on the relationship. You told me that you liked me but you promised not to break my heart like the others and will take it slow and steady,not rushing it through. I think you knew that i liked you too because i'd told my girlfriends about my 'crush' on you and they'd spread it around till you've heard it. When i heard people talked about us, both of us were blushing and protesting them by saying we're just friends. But we're not. We're more than friends,but less than a lover.

The next meet-up,a miracle did happened.
