I saw him on the other side of the street. I stared, confused. He looked just like a guy I knew. Yet, I didn't think it was possible. You had moved to get away from me.

Everything had been wonderful. We were friends for years. I didn't think we would ever be away from each other. But after that one night, everything changed. It was a perfect night. It was the day I was scared as hell. I just wanted to tell you the truth.

Dinner and a movie. It was a typical Friday night to you. But to me, it was the high life. It was the night I was going to admit it all. I was scared as hell.

I fell for you.

"I love you."

These three words were my downfall. You looked at me with wide cerulean eyes. I knew then that I had made a mistake. You ran.

I called you. I texted you. You never returned my calls and I never saw you again.

Am I that hard to deal with? We have been through everything together. We were best friends. How could my confession ruin everything?

You were the one. No, you are the one I think about all the time. Even with your absence in my life, I think about you all the time.

A year. It has been a year since I've seen you.

I check Facebook and come up with nothing. It's almost as if you have disappeared off the face of the earth.

What happened to you?

Another year and no word from you. I have moved on. College has been my anchor, as have my friends. I've met a decent guy, albeit strange.

He has spiky fiery red hair and emerald eyes. Axel. He is the only one who can make me feel again.

We date and it doesn't work out. He is now my best friend. You still hold my heart. Axel noticed this and told me to stop pining over this person.

He doesn't understand. You are my only one. I just wish you were around. I miss you.

Until this day, everything falls into place. I see a guy who looked just like you. I did a double take, feeling a sense of déjà vu. This couldn't be you.

I watch silently as this guy crosses the street, eyes locked onto mine. We stare at one another. As he approaches, my heart beats rapidly. I feel adrenaline pulsing through my veins.

He stands adjacent to me, familiar cerulean eyes calculating. Only one person had those eyes.

It couldn't be you.

Boy was I wrong.

You stand in front of me, spiked hair swaying in the breeze. You smile at me, revealing that goofy grin that always brightened my days.

I stare expectantly at you, nervous.

"What are you doing here?" I ask.

You flinch at my tone, grin disappearing.

"I wanted to apologize."

You leave me in the middle of my confession years before and now you want to talk? Just what are you playing at?

"Apologize for what?" I counter.

You sigh heavily, throwing your arms in the air. A blush crosses your cheeks. I raise a brow at this.

"I'm sorry for leaving like that. I panicked."

"It's fine. I understand that you don't feel the same."

My heart aches when I'm near you. I can't stand this.

"Roxy…"

I flinch at the nickname. I haven't heard this nickname in a long time.

"What is it?" I ask impatiently.

You flinch once more face scrunching up in annoyance.

"Stop being like that, Roxy. I just…. I feel the same way about you."

My insides freeze. Had I heard right? Does he truly care for me?

"You feel the same?"

You nod, the blush increasing on your tan face. You look at me. My heart melts at your confused stare.

"I do. I love you, Roxas. I always have."

It takes all of my will power to not sweep you off your feet. I stare at you for a moment, nodding. I smile and step forward, pulling you into a hug.

You look unsure, but eventually give in.

I bury my face into the crook of your shoulder, arms wrapped tightly around your thin waist.

You kiss the top of my hair, patting my back comfortingly.

I pull away long enough to admit the truths of my heart.

"I love you, Sora. Please, don't leave me again."

"Never."

Everything fell into place. It was then that I realized that despite the hardships we faced, there is always a chance for a happy ending.

And I had found mine.
