To Much Faith Part 2
We arrived at the restuarant. She had dressed herself up, radiating pure beauty and there was me, trying to do the best with the clothes I can brought realy.
Still, we had a nice night as we both enjoyed each others company. We chatted about whatever we could, trying to avoiding the subject of our feelings, whilst I did bring them up once, I quickly dropped it when I saw the tears swelling up.
By the end of our meal we had decided to would be nice to take a walk along the beach nearby but almost as we spoke this it began to rain. "Its only a light shower" I had commented but it was raining heavly. We walked out into the weather and within 5 seconds where drenched to our underwear. Well, that is, If I was wearing underwear. ( That was a joke... ) . We thought it would be best to retreat home and stood undercover whilst we waited for our lift, shivering all the while.
Eventualy we made it home. Arguing on the way there who's idea it was to take a walk in the rain. I quickly changed clothes and left to the temporary refuge of my room. Sleep didnt come easyly that night and it wasnt until the early hours of the morning did I find the relative solatute of sleep.
Woken early that morning by a crash tackle. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" she told me. "Happy birthday" I said back to her, still unaware it was my birthday.
After my breakfast of coffee and coffee, we left and went to the local mall to spend my birthday chillin' around the centre. We caught a movie and got my hair dyed bright red. The whole time she seemed very distant, catching her starting into nothingness half the time. That night we were both sitting her room. I was idlely drawing and she was reading her new book. I went and sat at the end of her bed, thinking how pathetic I am and said to her " Its my birthday, will you give me one birthday wish? "
"Of course she replied"
"All I want if for you to kiss me then say that we cant be together, that your not strong enough for this to work"
Tears began to roll down her face as she stared deeplying into my eyes.
"I dont want to hurt you" she told me
"I'd more hurt if you didnt, if I left here not doing everything I could"
She learnt in and kissed me and I kissed her back. Most people would define romance with rose petals on red velvet sheets, I would define it as that moment in time, where it seemed as though all emotion was being shown in a simple gesture, something Ive shared with many people but I seemed to only find the true meaning of it then.
She broke away. Tears streaming down her face yet still she composed herself without breaking down into a horrible mess. "Im sorry, I cant" she said.
I stayed that night and left the next day. She came to the trainstation with me to say goodbye, we hugged and I went through the turnstyles. I tried with all my physical strength as I could not to look back but my heart thought otherwise, I turned back and mouthout " I love you" . She just looked back as I left.
Thats life, my life atleast.
