looking into my eyes, taking my
hands
he began to speak the words i'd hear only
once:
"i just really needed to tell you that...
i've been thinking
a lot lately and i've realized
that for the past eleven years i
have completely fallen in love with
you. i've liked you since the first day of
preschool all the way
till now, here in ninth
grade. but i don't just like you anymore i
really
l o v e y o u
and i know, you have a boyfriend
and you think he's [the
one] and i dont
want to make you feel bad or anything but
it kills me every time you say you love him because
i know its us thats meant to be"
tears started flowing from my eyes
"i know, you're probably
right
we probably are meant to be together
but i really love him, hes my boyfriend
a n d i m
s o s o r r y
i know we've been through everything
but i just cant leave
him."
but secretly i knew i didnt love my
boy friend as much as i loved him
but i got up and walked out of his house
h e r a n a f t e r m e
"wait! dont
leave, im sorry i shouldn't
have even said that, i dont want
to lose you over
this."
"its not that, its that i know i love you
too, always have and always will, and
im just not sure how to deal with this"
i walked back toward him, crying,
hugged him and kissed
him once on the lips
as it started to
rain, i walked home<|3
