He was a friend of her. It started with a small conversation on the phone back in high school. Her intention was to be friends. As they talked day by day, she's hooked. Its like god has finally listened to her prayers. They talked every night and they can never get enough of each other.
They went to the mall to meet each other. The girl is so nervous she actually felt butterfly in her stomach. Both of them in school uniform. The girl was so shy and the guy know exactly what to do and it makes her feel like a princess and special.
A year after that, he said "Do u wanna be my girlfriend". And she said "Finally!".
7 years 8 months and 16 days after that, that girl asked herself.
"What would i do without him?"
He's the love of her life. Her 11.01 am, 15 December 2003
And that girl is me.
The melody of Right Here Waiting by Richard Marx filled the girl's bedroom 9 years ago. And she whispered to herself, i want love, i want to know what is love. The haunted voice of Richard Marx put her to sleep for nights. She secretly wished that she will have the chance to feel it. Soon. Then she closed her eyes.
A tall handsome guy came to her life not long after that. It all started with a smile and they just clicked like they have the chemistry for years. The girl's heart is dancing with joy. She kept saying to herself that i am his girl. I am. She never felt that kind of happiness before. Aaahhhh, so this is what people always talked about first love. It is sweet as candy and u just cant get enough of it.
The girl cant help but smile to her sleep and Richard Marx song still filled the room until she closed her eyes like a little girl sleeping after a fairytale bedtime stories. Everything is so magical. She's like a princess from disney that sing when no one is around. The kind of a girl that woke up in the morning with a huge smile on her face knowing that she cant wait to meet the prince of her dream. She had the best sleep for the next 7 months.
Her happiness was taken away from her when suddenly the love of her life said that he want different things now. Poor little girl was so naive, so confuse and wish that its the end of her life. How she wish that it was just a nightmare. She kept asking herself what has she done to be punished this way. She cried herself to sleep and wish that it will be over the next morning but when she woke up, the nightmare still haunted. Everything seems so dark, so blurry. She was unappreciated and she know that she will never be loved again.
But faith has a different story for the girl. Another prince came along with promises and she was happy again. They have been together ever since until now. Right Here Waiting by Richard Marx still put her to sleep. But the feeling is different now. She's no longer a girl anymore. Still she got so caught up in her past and she kept thinking, what might happen if they are still together.
Lots of different things happened to her after her first lover broke her heart. Her life has changed. Part of her wish that she's still 15 just to feel it back what it is like to be loved for the first time.
Slowly she's trying to leave her past step by step. Yes, 2002 is the year that she will never forget for the rest of her life. She need to let go about the past so that she could see what's for tomorrow. She wants to sing again.
When its over, it is over. But a girl like her, can never hate that one thing that used to make her happy. The one that filled her life with stars and with love. She's trying to accept that its time to move on as those time will never come back. She has a new prince now and she is looking forward to know what is the next chapter for her.
As for this chapter, she finally closed it and it has become her favorite chapter that she will read it again page by page to remind herself that her life is not that bad. There's a guy who loved her although it didn't last long. It can be a reminder for her to stop being so hard on herself.
A past is a past. It can never be written again. It can be a memories. Sweet memories. They remain friends as they can never hate each other and she said thank you...
