Butterflies

Monday, April 13, 2020

And just when she was giving up while cleaning the mess her heart had made, it was as if her hopes were on her side, she saw him.
Millions of butterflies she felt and millions of questions in her mind including, “Where were you all these years?”
Days came to weeks where she would hear him talk all day, weeks came to months where she knew how cute his dimple was or how his freckles made his smile even prettier. He was a beautiful boy.
Sad part was the fact that they’d never met. The fact that she missed him so much made her realize how love could actually play games. But, she believed, for he was the only one who melted her heart back together to whole, she believed that one day, soon enough, she would get to live in his warm embrace, forever. Nonetheless, he would sing at times, maybe many times, that’d make her giggle and blush. She was never happier.

The day finally arrived. Who else could’ve imagined her level of excitement. She put on her best dress, she took hours to do her makeup, to look perfect and cover her minute blemishes. She dolled herself up, to look beautiful for him, she got ready, for him.
The tingles and the shivers she felt as soon as she hopped in an uber, the few minutes’ travel made her dizzy, if only she could teleport. When she finally did reach the premise where he was in, she could feel choking in her own air.
She saw him.
His smile, his perfectly done hair, his dimple, his wears, HIM, she finally saw him.
The first thing she could actually directly say was “I love you”.
He didn’t hear it the first time, so she screamed “I LOVE YOU” again, in the loudest way possible. Along with all the girls and the crowd, the pushing and the stumbles, she kept screaming “I LOVE YOU” while he was on stage, singing her favorite songs.
Her voice never made it to him, her voice drowned in the screams.
She couldn’t realize the time going by, the time when he finished his last song. He bowed, thanked the crowd, blew kisses, he left.
She loved him dearly but she was just another girl in the crowd.
