OPEN UP, DON'T BE SHY

I never knew I'd know what love is until I met you. 

Cliche as it sounds, I fell for the guy I never talked to in high school. 

It took 4 years after our high school graduation to finally rekindle and find out that we're so compatible with one another.

We've never bumped heads, but rather ideas. 

We shared laughter, body heat, glances.

We shared our mindset and I was starting to see the world through his eyes.

And he was able to see the world through mine.

But then time and life started to seperate us. 

He didn't know what he was doing with life and wanted to better himself. 

So he left to San Jose with a dream as big as the sky to become a nurse.

While I was stuck in the same town I've been in for the last 21 years, pursuing my dream.

We'll never know what will happen until after we've established ourselves.

Because the things is with me...

I'm emotional. He's logical. 

And although I'd wait for him, I don't know if he would. 

I don't want to get in the way of his dream, even though my dream is him.
