Short Romantic Bedtime
Love Stories
Despite that, I still want to be by his side. I wanted to care for him, accompany him and love him. I hoped that one fine day, he will love me. It's like waiting for his phone call every night and waiting for him to sms me. I know that no matter how busy he is, he will make time for me. Hence, I waited for him. The three years were the hardest to go through and I really wanted to give up. Sometimes, I wonder if I should continue waiting. The pain, the hurt and dilemma accompanied me for three years. At the end of my third year, a second year junior started to pursue after me. He pursues me relentlessly everyday. It came to a point where my feelings towards him changed from outright rejection to being willing to let him have a small footing in my heart. He's like a warm and gentle wind, trying to blow a Leaf away from the Tree. In the end, I realized that I didn't want to give this wind only a small footing in my heart. I know this Wind will bring this badly battered Leaf far away to a better land. Finally, I left Tree but Tree only smiled and didn't ask me to stay. Leaf’s departure is because of Wind pursuit. Or because Tree didn't ask her to stay. Wind I like a girl called Leaf. I have to be a gust wind as she's too dependent on Tree. A Wind that will blow her away. When I first met her, it was one month after I transferred to the new school. I saw a petite person looking at my seniors and me playing soccer. She will always be sitting there during our soccer practise looking at him regardless if she’s alone or with friends. There's jealousy in her eyes when he talks with other girls. There's a smile in her eyes when he looks at her. It became my habit to look at her just like how she likes to look at him. One day, she didn't appear. I felt something was amiss. I couldn't explain the feeling except that it's a kind of uneasiness. The senior wasn’t there as well. I hid outside their classroom and saw my senior scolding her. He left her with tears in her eyes. I saw her at her usual place looking at him the next day. I walked over and smiled at her. I took out a note and gave it to her. She was surprised. She smiled and looked at me before accepting the note. She passed me another note and left the next day. It's not that Leaf’s heart is too heavy. It is because
Leaf never wanted to leave Tree She talked to me, accepted my presents and phone calls. I know that the person she loves is not me. However, I kept up my perseverance as I believe that one day I will make her like me. Within four months, I have declared my love for her no less than twenty times. Every time, she will divert the topic away. Nevertheless, I never give up. I decided that if I want her to be mine, I will definitely use all means to win her over. I can't remember how many times I declared my love to her. Although I know she will try to divert the topic away, I still bear a small ray of hope every time as I hope that she will agree to be my girlfriend.
During my last declaration of love for her, I didn't hear any
reply from her over the phone. Leaf’s departure is because of Wind pursuit. Or because Tree didn't ask her to stay.
