A Change Of Heart

So I get word that your body is in a chair and tonight your presence is here. It's been two weeks since you gave me all the excuses in the world to not come. "I have homework. I procrastinate." So I hop in my car and I speed drive to see your face again.

I walk inside the assembly and I notice your brown long sleeve sweater with your afro hair. We both sit on the ends of the rows of people. (second row, first seat on the left)

You sit back, drink water and put your head in your palm. I try to catch your eye and look over to you but you don't have a care in the world. So I stop trying to steal your attention and I mind my own business. Apparently, that works.

I laugh at a joke that was made and your eyes fall on me. Once you see me you can't keep your eyes off me. But it is time for me to go and as I get up I pray that you will follow me or even notice that I'm leaving but you don't. At least I think you don't.

I see an elder outside and as I greet them you bust open the doors. Your eyes find me and I find you. Then you walk into the bathroom and walk out a minute later with your eyes still on me. I wait for you to come out and talk to me but no. Your head is turned to my direction but your body keeps walking as it goes back inside. So, I walk away and go home.

I guess I wanted for you to feel my aurora as soon as I sat down in the assembly. It's been four months and you haven't asked for my number or Instagram. We have had friendly conversations but I want THE conversation to happen. The one where we can finally confess our feelings for each other.

Don't get me wrong I still feel the love when I look at you. I still feel this strong attraction that draws me to you. But our relationship has just not progressed lately and I will not stand by to let it die. I want you and I want to give all the love in my heart to you. So I will equally fight for our love. I will step out of my comfort zone to show you that I feel the same exact way about you.

It scares me to put my heart on the line but if that's what I have to do to get back that man then I will.

I wish I could go back to the man that chased after me. A man that would stop at nothing to be with me. But it is I that killed that man. At first, I wanted nothing to do with you. I rejected you a million times but now I regret that. I want you back. I justified so many ridiculous reasons as to why you weren't worth a second of my time. I was foolish! I realize now that you are my blessing in disguise. I could ask for no greater man.
