Dear Crush

Crush 14

Dear Chen,

You showed up just in time before I started to conclude about your existence.

Where is he?

Did he graduate already?

When will I see him again?

Those questions run in my head everyday after a week of not seeing you when school resumed.

I expected to see you when classes started but my desire was put on hold by fate.

Yesterday was by far the best thing that ever happened to me this year.

You in that light blue fitted shirt, blue scarf, and glasses.

I prayed that you would walk in my direction....

You did.

The way you slowly walked near me and how my shoulders almost brushed off your chiseled arm happened in slow motion

Even thoughtI'm just one of those familiar faces you see in campus and nothing else, I still feel satisfied because knowing that you're familiar with my face is enough to make my heart race

You made my heart beat extra fast that day and gave me those little butterflies in my tummy.

It was such a nice feeling.

Of course that had to end when I saw you with a girl

There are a lot of possibilities, like how it could be possible that she's you girlfriend, sister, cousin, or best friend.

But no matter what she means to you, I am in no position to complain or hate.

I will simply wish you both well and thank you silently for giving me irreplaceable memories that I can go back to anytime.

But for now allow me to claim you as mine.

At least until I no longer see you in person and my brain slowly dismissed the craving of wanting to see you.

Red jacket.

That was me. That girl wearing a red jacket was me Chen.

I usually wear my green jacket but today I wore the red one. Maybe a thought that fate had put inside my head.

After my encounter with you at the meeting place, I prayed to God to let me see you one more time before the day ends.

I didn't expect it but as I was standing and drinking my mountain dew, you walked through the hallway I was patiently staring at.

You were with that girl again but this time it wasn't just the two of you.

I caught your attention.

I know I did because I was the only girl standing that time and when you walked through the hallway your eyes immediately caught my eyes staring at you shockingly.

I couldn't look away from you.

In fact, I even choked because you came out of nowhere!

So take home message today, is that remember, Never underestimate the power of prayers. Never.
