(Sacred)

Now here's another chapter. :)

For years there was no buzz about us.

The first time I saw you was at a party

Your hair was long
your shirt was sweaty
As you inch your way to the next musical instrument,
my camera caught a glimpse of you.

Fast forward to summer,
where I began noticing your ankles and your shoes first
without knowing you are the same person.

You always had that basketball player look:
White shirt, black shorts and rubber shoes
And a gentle way of approaching girls
that make them know that you are not there to charm them.

We have made hundreds of memories that were easily forgotten
Moments that were never counted,
like the way we held hands for a brief second as I leave
The way you kidded me about washing dishes
The way you laughed at my appetite for food.

Fast forward years later
We never got to move forward
Because of a lie I believed
that you liked her.

But tonight,
like that morning where we shot a cheezy video together
You tell me about another girl
like I am your friend.
Sitting beside you, for the first time
Afraid and concerned and...
Friends
just friends, but wanting it that way.
As the September winds choked us
and the evening let our guards down.

We will graduate together,
I hope that's for sure.
I promise not to ignore you anymore.



A lot of things can happen in 6 months.
A lot can happen in a year.

You are a special kind of individual
A faithful wimp, if I may dichotomize
But faithful either way.

I hope that you would become brave enough someday.
