Have you ever had that feeling? When all you long for is to see a certain person. Even hearing their name made you feel excited and happy?
I never thought there would be a day where I would feel those feelings. Of course I don't believe in love at first sight. To me personality and their values matter more. If they are good looking? Then yes that can be an attractive point, but that alone won't do.
Coming from a broken family, I tend to hear these words a lot. And I qoute "Always love someone who makes you feel safe other than those momentarily butterflies that leaves you with regrets"
And yes I couldn't agree more. But that day, it wasn't butterflies that I felt. It was much deeper.
One day I was attending my close friend's birthday party. As I arrived there, my friend introduced me to a guy whom I swore I have never seen before. Even though it was a small town. When I first saw him, I didn't really think much of it. He was just a normal guy, and I was a socially awkward girl. I put up a confident front and left. Yes there was no butterflies.
I didn't really think much of this boy, until he walked into my home. Apparently he was well acquainted with my cousin. So yeah, I naturally got to know him futher. I rarely see him around, yet I would look forward to seeing him everyday. You know that feeling? When you think someone really understood you, and you click very well? I thought we could be good friends. I really did.
Until I heard my cousin giving him advice on how to confess to a girl. Tell me why my first instinct was walk away? I thought I just wanted to be friends.
The next day he walked up to me telling me about a girl he met. I still regret not being able to say anything. I sat silently and congratulated him, before I left. He made me feel safe. I felt I become a better version of myself when I'm with him.
"Why do you never wonder that the girl I had a crush on was you?", he told me
I couldn't believe it. Was I dreaming?
"Are you serious?", I said hesitantly
"You have no idea... If you are willing to take on this journey with me", he continued
"YES!", I said without hesitation.
Surely it was a good thing I waited. Still sure I don't have the courage to confess as much as he did.
But I'm thankful he did.
