Sea of Love Part 3 of 3
For all those who wish for happy endings... A story about a girl who can't find the voice to tell her best friend how much she loves him.
This is for all those who wish for happy endings.
Last part:
And here I was again, 5 years later. I have the same scared expression on my face. Yet this time… This time I want to be courageous.
I clutch the shoulder bag tighter around my shoulder. I take a deep breath and knock on the door.
I try to replay the things I want to say in my head. As always, scared as I was, nothing came to my mind.
It’s taking so long, I tell myself. Why aren’t you opening the door?
Ten seconds, twenty…. Sixty…. Nothing….
No…. I cry out weakly. You’ll never know.
I give up. Step back and slowly move towards somewhere else… somewhere you’ll never be.
With my head down, I bite my lips, trying to stop the tears from falling.
It’s my fault, I tell myself. I went away, and now you’re gone.
Somewhere in the background, a voice softly calls my name. I don’t believe it at first. It can’t be real.
But then, I feel your arms around me, and I freeze.
Slowly, I turn around, and I see you there, in front of me.
"You’re back…" the voice tells me.
"Yes. I came back." I manage to answer.
"Why?" one word.
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"Why did you go?" he asks me.
"There was nothing here for me." I say bitterly.
"I’m here. I’ve always been here." The voice answers.
"But… "
"I was confused and I didn’t know. I thought… you were my best friend and we’ve been together all our lives. At first, I didn’t know what to do. It would never have been the same after. So I just let everything pass. And then you ran away, left me a letter telling me you love me. What was I supposed to do?" He tells me.
I wanted you to tell me you loved me back… I tell myself. "I was a coward." I manage to say.
"Don’t you see? I’m a coward too. All these years, I couldn’t tell you how much I love you. I was waiting for the right time. Until finally, it never came." He magically tells me.
And suddenly, he isn’t just a voice anymore. I look up and stare into your eyes. The same eyes reflected in mine.
And then I know. I know the answer.
"I want to tell you how much I…"
" …love you." I say.
And magically you kiss me and all my worries are gone.
"I love you too," you tell me.
"Do you remember when we first met? That day, I knew you were mine." I declare.
"Come with me…. I’m leaving soon…. I want you to come with me." I say.
You stare at me with a smile on your face. And everything else fades away, because finally, finally, you tell me, "Yes."
