"Do you want to be my girlfriend?"
He asked.
She had been waiting forever for him to finally asked her that
But her usual bright expression suddenly turned somber at his question
A feeling of anger crept up
Replacing her soft smile with a frown
The sparks in her eyes that always lit up whenever she saw him
Now gone and dead
This feeling, she knew
This feeling she was so familiar with
everytime she thought of him
And it still felt like a huge stone
Pulling her down to her knees
There was a question that had been in her mind
For weeks
For months
"How could I, when you don't even like me as much as you like her?"
And her words hit home.
He had not expected that
Not with the way she always seemed happy around him
Not with the way she always smiled warmly at him
Not with the way she was always there caring for him no matter how difficult he was
"I do love you,"
she stared right into his eyes,
every word fell from her lips
with such sincerity
it felt like the first ray of warm sunlight
on a winter morning
The only warm source to his heart that has gone cold now
such intensity in her eyes
"but I can't be number two."
And they pierced his heart right through.
She got up and left.
He called her name over and over
Wishing she'd turn back and give him another chance
But his voice only seemed to be engulfed by the intense air around him
He ran after her
But she was gone
He punched the black wooden door beside him frustratingly
And he wished he had loved her more.
