Eight Days

[Vamphire]

Idea came from an earlier date in May 2010
Written May 12, 2010

One day has past since that time, only one day. Yet I still cannot believe what you have said.

They say I have a doubtful expression of hope on my face; I say I am not sure what to think.

Should I believe you, in your hope-provoking words, or should I doubt you, condemn you for playing with my feelings at will?

I no longer know.

-----

Two days, two days has past since that time. Is it only two days? Maybe...apparently so...

You got fed up with me, the way I have been since I heard your words.

Did it really hurt you that much when I avoided you and visibly doubted your words? Did it hurt badly when I would look away quickly whenever you turned my way?

Yes; your heartfelt words had been doubted, and your heart was bruised.

But please believe me, because now I believe you.

Your pained face as you cried your frustration and anger convinced me; I have never seen you this way.

I promise, I believe you.

-----

Three days has past since then, only three days since I first heard those words from your mouth.

It has been a tentative start, based on the pain of the last few days. But we are striving forward, to make an impression upon the world.

They are starting to comment on how unusual we are together so much, but I don't care. Neither do you as you walk by my side, talking about insignificant things.

Yet, I'm talking about nothing as well. I'm just glad you're by my side.

-----

Four days, four days since that moment. I am starting to become delirious with happiness.

I vaguely hear their whispers as they notice how we are together again, spending all of our free time with each other -- alone.

But why would we need company when we have each other?

The happiness I feel with you, especially when I am alone with you, eclipses the feelings I have when with them. I am starting to forget them, their company -- your presence is slowly wiping them from my memories.

And I wouldn't have it any other way.

-----

Five days since that moment, five days since you told me. And everyone has begun to notice now.

Their muted whispers barely filter through my ears; I am intoxicated with you and it makes it difficult for me to hear them.

I think they have noticed how I cannot stop smiling, how I keep laughing when in your presence. How even you have begun to show signs of your happiness, a happy smirk crossing your normally emotionless face.

Is it that obvious we are happy, that we have found what we wanted in each other? I hope so; I want everyone to see how much I love being with you, so you can see how much I want to stay with you.

Let me stay by your side forever.

-----

It has been six days since that moment, only six days. Yet you kissed me for the first time today.

I could feel myself flush with embarassment -- you had kissed me right before the bell rung to begin class. I could feel everyone staring at us as homeroom ended with your kiss; even the teacher was staring. And all I could do was to try to hide my face in your shirt, clutching you tighter to me to try to escape their stares.

You laughed, laughed at my reaction.

And that's when they knew.

-----

Seven days, seven days since that moment. And the entire school now knows our relationship.

The news about our homeroom kiss spread across the school like a wildfire during the dry season. And I didn't know how to react to the attention.

You were used to it, I was not.

But I followed you, staying with you, ignoring them like you were. It wasn't hard to do; you have become my world. You are the mysterious dark depths of space to my familiar brilliant lights of the stars in space. You encompass me, engulf me.

You are my universe.

-----

Eight days has passed since that moment, only eight days. Has it really only been that long since then?

I remember that moment with a sharp clarity.


Your figure gracefully walking towards me in the hallway after school.
Your hand reaching out, tapping my shoulder.
Your beautiful face coming into view as I turned towards you.
Your deep eyes staring at me with such a burning intensity.
Your enticing lips moving, whispering to me.
My eyes slowly closing as I leaned towards you into your warm body heat.
And your mouth in my hair, your breath tickling my ear as you told me....

A kiss on the cheek and you withdrew, taking your body heat with it.

And I was left behind, cold.


But no longer; now, you are mine. Now and forever, we will belong to each other, sharing our happiness as we live with each other.

And maybe, I think as I run after your retreating figure as we return to classes, maybe one day I will return those words to you.

I catch up to you, grabbing your arm with mine as I smile in return to yours.

I love you, now and forever.
