What is Love?

Do you believe in wishes? Do you close your eyes and secretly whisper a wish every time the clock says 11:11? Or do you look at the stars at night hoping a shooting star would pass by? How can I forget the day my wish come true? Or so I thought? At a young age of 12, I encounter love. I don't know what 11:11 wishes are about, I don't even know it existed. I never heard of it. I totally have no idea. And then he came, when the last thing on my mind was love. Let me take you back on time, it was year 2011, when touch screen phone are still not a thing and messaging through keypad phones are the best. I received a message, and it goes like this: Me: Who is this? Him: I got your number from my cousin. Randomly picked it. What's you name? Me: I'm Ynah. Him: You mean Ynah from the Science and Technology Class? Me: Yeah. I should have wonder back then. I should have started asking. But I was attracted to him in a way the sand attracts me to leave footprints. Him: I'm Shaun. Me: Okay. I thought that was it. It was just a random stranger who randomly picked my number. But what did they say? Curiosity kills the cat. Me: Your cousin is? Him: Mike, the football player. Me: Oh, I see. Nice to meet you! Mike was my friend or rather a friend of my friend. We're not exactly close friends and I didn't even know he got my number. From that moment on, a spark that I didn't even notice started to light. Shaun and I kept contacting each other for a week. And though I don't really know what he looks like, I was comfortable with him and feels like I've known him for years. We are studying on the same school. I was on my 1st year of high school while he was on his 3rd year. One day... Him: Saw you. I'm here 2 tables from your right. Gosh. There he was, smiling and looking at me when our eyes met. That was all it takes for me to start asking myself of what is the feeling of excitement, joy and adrenaline rush is called. Was it love? Or it was just something new to me? Whatever it was, it calls me to dive deeper on the unknown ocean forgetting about the fact that I can't swim and I might drown. But before I know it, before I can think about the risk, I was already diving on it.
