If I Could Write a Love Story

If saying forever is naive then I’ll stay naive for the rest of my life

If eternity is stupid, then I’ll be stupid forever

But if it’s for a while then I’ll make our time eternal

So it will never end

Crash! Right into a Powerade machine, That was the sound I made the first time I realized I loved her we were just kids in the eighth grade but still I knew I loved her ‘’kind of’’ . At the time we were just friends but I knew I wanted to be more than just friends my best friend who has the reasoning of a monkey said ’’go for it’’ I said ‘’yeah easier said than done’’. So I stayed quit never knowing that at the time of the crash she felt the same way. A month passed and I stayed quite never knowing but always wondering. Until she started to write the initials of the guy she liked. I Remember telling her he must be pretty stupid probably the dumbest in the world she would always say yeah he really is. Well One fateful day I woke up with the determination to find out who this mystery guy was. So in one of our classes I started to ask questions about the so called guy without asking distinguishing facts about me she answered all of my questions like if she didn’t know what I was doing. At this point I thought to myself its not me that’s when I showed her my bracelet and told her look these our my initials they mean Fabian Armando Herrera. That’s when I asked her what do yours mean she blushed and didn’t answer. Well the bell rang and I left the class with nothing but despair and a sense of emptiness in the pit of my stomach knowing that I would have to see her in my next class which at this point I felt it embarrassing to be in her presence. As I was walking I told myself I should at least figure out who beat me to the girl who I wanted for so long. I walked into class sat down and pondered about what the initials could mean I looked at my bracelet and then the initials for about five minutes into the class. That’s when the wires in my brain connected. “Its Me’’! “Its Me’’! I shouted as the teacher gave me detention for not shutting up, but I didn’t care I’ll never forget the smile she gave me. But it was to late school was about to end. Summer sucked all I could think about was her. My days were just filled with regret. Days passed my love for her grew. Then school came around I remember that for the first week all I was doing was looking for her. Telling myself please remember me. that’s when I found her I remember all I did was stare into her beautiful brown eyes not realizing she was doing the same and all we said was hi bye and that was it. I remember hitting my head in the Powerade machine all while countless people watched and asked ”is he OK”! as if I was mental at this point maybe I was but I felt like if her feelings for me were gone . Our next encounter was different I was determined to find out if she still liked or if there was hope. I knew I had to be discrete that’s when I blurted out do you still like me, talk about discrete. Anyway she answered no! I felt like my heart broke into a million tiny pieces. Then she told me something I would never forget she said’’ no I don’t like you I love you’’ At this point I screamed to the heavens forgetting that one of her friends was there and that we weren’t alone and how foolish I looked but I didn’t care. Funny thing is I didn’t ask her to be mine till a week later because I wanted it to be unforgettable and it was. September 22,2008 was and is the greatest day of my life. There was this field trip to go to UCLA and watch the football game on Saturday my plan was set. I would go and ask her as we were entering the stadium under the lights the problem was getting the permission slip only one teacher had one left. Man I’ll never forget all the extra homework I had to do to get this thing, But it was worth it. Finally Saturday came I sat right next to her on the bus. Out of this field trip I only remember two things the first was when she said yes the gleaming lights made her eyes sparkle like the full moon above our heads the way her face brightened truly unforgettable. The second thing I remember was our first kiss. It was midnight the busses got delayed and there was traffic going back home like there always is in LA. I kissed her on the forehead and was about to kiss her when she just kissed me it was the most magical kiss ever. People say we’re young and we can’t use the word love but let me tell you if we can’t use the word love who can . So we do know what love is. Funny thing is I said forever she agreed and we’re still working on Wow! if I could write a love story it would go like this.
