And I guess I was afraid. I know I was. Afraid of catching the light in your eyes, of feeling the warmth within me every time you smiled your one of a kind movie star smile, of taking a chance, of us. I was afraid of everything the universe had in store for us.

But, believe me. I listened. I listened to every word you said, and every corny joke you threw my way. I listened to your carelessness, and I still made room for your genuine side. I listened to your favorite songs just to get a glimpse of who you are, and although that was barely nothing, it was just enough for me. I listened to your dreams and you listened to mine.

And on the day you asked me for a secret, I heard it. I heard it clear as day.

I wish I'd given you something. A story, maybe? Or a simple line; that would've been enough for you. It was good back then. Things were okay. A word was all you needed. I could've shared a little piece of my childhood, or given you a peek of my biggest fear. One way or another, I could've said something. I should have.

Because right now, there is nothing I want more than for you to have a little piece of me clutched tightly in the palm of your hands.

There is nothing more I want than for you to remember me.

hi everyone! this is a little something that i've been thinking of doing for a while now, and finally, i am confident enough to start a new story. hopefully you will get excited as much as i am right now.

updates won't be regular, and i'm sorry for that. i'm currently packed with exams and university things. yes, i am heading to university soon! after that's sorted, i'll be updating more. anyway, for now this is it.
