Lying on the field with my eyes closed, I inhaled the early morning breeze by the river. It's been a while since I had the chance to go out and get some fresh air. From the start, it has just been me. Alone, with no one else by my side.
Then you came.
The sound of your footsteps in the freshly mowed grass made me open my eyes. I watch as you walk around the riverbanks to take some photographs with your camera. Without knowing it, I was sitting upright, eyeing you in a distance. You looked my way and saw me staring. I immediately turned away but even if I did so, I still didn't miss your smile that kept my heart pounding. You walked away without saying a word and I was left alone once again.
Everyday I'm waiting.
After seeing you for the first time, the scent of the morning breeze became sweeter. I pretend to be asleep but I always know when you're the one walking. I've memorized the sound of your footsteps and the clicks of your cameras. Every chance I get, I steal some glances just to see your beautiful face.
All my life, I thought I was doing better on my own. I never imagined myself being with someone until you came. From then on, my life was never the same.
I thought I'll be okay as long as I see you everyday but I was wrong. With every glance I make, I fell deeper and deeper to the point that I can no longer take it.
I don't know what love is. I've never experienced it before.
After months of stealing glances, I decided to finally get to know you. I waited. Early morning, I got up and waited by the river. Instead of lying on the grass and pretending to sleep. I'm standing up looking out from a far to see if you're coming. I thought of what you will say once I walk up to you and tell you how I feel. I wonder if you feel the same way.
I waited.
It was midday and there were no signs of you but still, I stayed. I thought that you might've been running late but you never came. It was already noon and I told myself maybe we weren't meant to be.I came back the next morning and waited 'til noon but there was not a single sign of you.
After 2 days, I gave up. I accepted the fact that maybe, I was meant to be alone.
I went on with my life and forgot about you. For months, I never went to rest by the river. I occupied myself with work but I think fate has another plan.
One gloomy afternoon, I found myself lying on the same spot by the river. I closed my eyes and instantly, I remembered you. Your camera, the way you move and your beautiful smile. I wanted to fall asleep with the thoughts of you in my head so I can dream of you even for a short while but then, I heard that one sound I've been waiting for.I quickly sat up and searched the surroundings. By the river, I saw you walking slowly to catch a photo of the sunset.
My heart started to pound. I can't escape it. I can no longer hide the feelings I have inside. Even if I don't know your name, I can feel your heart and from that I'm already sure of what I feel for you.
I collected enough courage and walked up to you.
I cleared my throat as I stood a few feet away. I startled you for a moment but you still smiled as you saw me there standing.
"May I help you with something?" You asked.
My heart thumped harder as I heard your angelic voice.
"I know this is kinda weird but please let me say something to you." I said.
You looked puzzled but I know there's nothing more I can do. I have to say this.
"These past few months, I've been watching you. When I saw you, my life was never the same. I have these feelings that I cannot escape and I can no longer keep it to myself. I told myself I got to get to know you because I'm in love with you and I have to let you know that this feeling is true."
"Why? Why me?"
"Because I know that you're one of a kind and I can't get you out of my mind."
You smiled. You smiled at me. The most beautiful smile in the world and I know it's for me. I smiled back and when I did, you took a photograph of it.
"I thought I would never see you smile. Now I have a photo to brighten up my day." You said.
I took the camera from you and stared at my photo. It's been a while since I smiled.
"You know, you don't need this photo to brighten up your day." I said. I took one of his hands and held it tight.
"Because I would gladly smile at you everyday if you let me stay by your side and love you."
And again, you smiled.
