I waited too long for this. For you, for us. My breath is uneasy, so I take a deep breathe and step into the café we agreed to meet in. Apparently it’s a cold night, but im too nervous and sweaty to notice. I look around, but I can't see you. I hear you sing and my heart skips a beat, you knew I was here. I followed the sound of your voice, and I realized I knew this song, you wrote it for me; it's our story. Finally, I see you, you're playing the piano as you sing with a wide smile on your face as you've always loved to; as we loved to. Waiters are pacing around me, they move from one full table to another. It's crowded and my anxiety wants to kick in, but I focus on you, singing our song. You glanced at me, and I froze. Two years have passed since I last saw you, three years since I last talked to you, and seven since I last told you I loved you. Not one second has it been since I first hated you, although I tried, all my attemps were in vane, truth is I just can't; because seven-teen years have gone by since I first loved you. I'm blushing and I can feel it, I hope no one notices; It's blurry, so my eyes are tearing up, my heart beats loud enough for the waitresses to hear, but I smile, I can't help it. I am happy. I don't miss you anymore, you're finally here. Tears run down my cheeks, as I stand here looking at you, look at me. But I wait, I must wait. I use every ounce of strength I was given to not run towards you. So I wait, I wait for you to come, I wait for you to hold me and not let go. Yet, once again, this is where my fantasy ends. I wipe off my tears with my hands and go on with my day.

Wait.
