New And Now

No one knows. No one knows. It is our little secret. Well that is what I tell myself.

This secret is bigger than little but smaller than big. It is in the middle so maybe it is just a secret. A secret that means the world, to you and to me.

So if anyone were to find out… tomorrow's math test will be the least of our worries.

Who would have thought things would have gotten this far? Not that I'm complaining but only my dreams are like this. Only a few months back I did not even know your name.

_-_

You meant nothing to me. But now… you mean everything. An awkward school introduction brought your image into my mind for the first time.

The teacher presented you to a class of uncaring self absorbed teenagers. There was a new student uneasiness around you, but the emeraled green eyes that captured mine shown with confidence.

Flames swept back from your face and the purple tear drops gave away a side of you that I wanted to know everything about. Your cocky grin was the final key. From that one small across the room glance I was captured, my heart was wrapped up and ready to be given away.

All before I knew a thing about you. But I have never seemed to care.

_-_

Slyly I wove you into my world. Your name was almost always upon my lips and, as often as I could manage, mine upon yours. We interacted, played, hung out, flopped, studied, argued, slept, and dreamed till the day was over and we would await the next one to do it all over again, together. Always together.

Seasons changed with us and the future had never seemed so unreal. Like we could never falter, never fall. There was you and me. That was all I would ever need.

Especially when your lips were pressed on mine, when your hands covered mine in a close protecting embrace, when your frame so perfectly molded to mine, and when that special smile lit up your face. This was and is our time, where no one knows, no one judges, and every fairy tale always ends with a happily ever after.

Besides… who says two sides of the same coin, or even two nobodies, cannot fall in love?
