Unrelenting love

Do you still remember? The day that we first met. If I am not mistaken, that's the first day of school, and we were high school then. And we were both freshmen. I was looking around when I entered the school gates, I didn't know where to go. And then there was you, looking so fresh with your hair clipped neatly on both sides. Your black leather shoes were shining and they looked fairly new. You had that air of confidence around you, I didn't mean it but I ended up following you.

You were walking with dignity, and for a kid our age, it seemed so admirable and you seemed like you know where you're going. It seemed like you know what to do. I walked behind you, a little farther away so you won't see me and you won't be scared. I was not a stalker, I was just a boy, admiring a girl, and looking for his way.

And then, you took a left on a corridor, you faced the room and went inside, I grabbed the card in my pocket, telling me what room I was supposed to go to. It says "Class I-I". I looked at the sign beside the door of the room you just went to, and it says "Class I-I". You don't know how glad I was, and how thankful I was that it was you whom I decided to creepingly follow. From the very first day, you didn't even know, you have shown me the way.

Days went by and I never let it pass without me looking your way. Wondering what color your hair clip will be, and how many times will you be smiling every single day. You looked so cute then and pretty timid the way you flash your pearly whites with braces. I find it fascinating that the color of your braces changes from time to time too.

Day in and day out we're together. It was easy to know you because you are easygoing and so friendly to everyone. You were so easy to approach, do you still recall who we always run to when we can't do our assignments? It was you who taught me how to move around quadratic equations and you made it so simple like you're adding x and y's. Now I can finally confess, I didn't have a hard time with physics or anything, as a matter of fact, I love science. I just join your study groups to be with you.

Times changed, years passed, and I finally had the courage to tell you how I felt. I summoned everything that I could fathom and told you that I liked you, okay, I told you that I loved you. And I asked you to be my girlfriend. You were just so nice and caring, I even thanked you for saying no. Who does that? I was busted and I thanked you.

I didn't cry, I didn't mope, I couldn't, it was my pleasure to be in love with you. I never regretted a single thing. And I was ready to be shot down. I mean, you looked like a star of your own movie scene, and I was the guy behind that one man who was watching the shoot from the sidelines. I was invisible. You were my star and I was just a speck of dust on the bed of the ocean.

Again, I was ready to be shot down. But I wasn't ready to give up. I know that I was gonna face an uphill battle and I know how difficult it would be to court a princess when you're nothing but a peasant.

I told you that I understand. I know. But I beg of you to let me show how you meant to me. I will not be waiting for anything in return. I will not ask for anything else, just let me love you. And thank the heavens because we were friends. You didn't change the way you interacted with me, it's as if everything was okay. And I really admire you for that. You were really a nice person. And I would do everything to deserve you.

And today, I thank you for saying 'No' to me that day. I thank you because you have given me the chance to prove to myself, to everyone else, and to you, that I really love you. And fast forward to today, as we exchange vows to be together for better or for worse, I will spend the rest of my life proving to you that I deserve your single 'Yes' despite those many No's.

Now let me just once again thank you, for saying "I do".

Hello!

How are you feeling today? I hope that you felt something with this simple post of mine. You are very much welcome to voice out your concerns, comments, suggestions, and your violent reactions in the comment section below. And I will get back to you at the soonest time possible.

Pretty sweet eh? Some would say that the girl just gave in after years of unrelenting pursuit, but... why not? Maybe the guy not giving up and not letting up, made her realize that it was him she was looking for all along.

That's it from me, and until we read again...

Cheers!!!
