Literally just romanticize your own life. What’s stopping you. Who will care. Commit to enjoying things.
“You’re staring at her like she has all the answers,” he said as he leaned against the wall beside her. She raised an eyebrow at him and then shrugged.
“If anyone is going to tell me the meaning of life, the universe, and everything, it’s going to be her,” he must have been expecting sarcasm, because he opened and closed his mouth three times before he kept it shut. She thought he’d say something, change the subject, crack a joke, or pretend she hadn’t said anything at all, but he didn’t. Instead he folded his arms over his chest and watched with her. He didn’t acknowledge her again until the girl across the room covered her mouth and tried to pretend she wasn’t giggling.
“She’s an odd one,” not a question, “what’s so special about her?” If he had been anyone else, it might have sounded rude and she might have gotten mad. Instead, she sat back in her chair and caught the bead of water running down her glass on the pad of her finger, buying herself enough time that she could answer without embarrassing herself.
‘Everything,’ she wanted to say. She knew he wouldn’t accept it as an answer though, so she swallowed it and leaned on her elbows on the table.
“She’s like a magic eraser. She wipes away all the things people tell me I should be so that all that’s left is me,” she took a deep breath and took her glasses off so the world wasn’t sharp enough to hurt, “She’s weird in the best way. I never know what’s going to come out of her mouth and sometimes she forgets that she wants people to think she’s sweet and says something so sassy I can’t help but smile. I don’t know if I could point to one thing and say ‘that’s it, that’s the thing that makes me love her.’
I love the way she grumps and apologises for being cranky even though I’ve never even thought to complain. I love the way she can’t help but share the odd little facts she has floating around in her head and the way her voice changes when she’s telling me about things she loves. Mostly I love that she didn’t let the world harden her heart the way I did. She got through the things that hurt her with her heart of gold still intact and that makes her hard not to love,” she said, stopping to put her glasses on again before she turned to look at him.
“You should tell her that,” he said, turning his attention to the dark eyes looking up at him. She sighed.
“She knows. Her loving me back isn’t a condition for me loving her and it isn’t going to happen. I’d rather love her and break my own heart every day than leave her behind.”
