I know there are a billion of these, but I got bored and wanted to write one.
-E.
I scrambled through the crowd, twisting and turning, swinging my head in every direction, faces blurring past me as I searched for the only one I actually wanted to see.
Brown eyes, blue eyes, hazel eyes, brown, blue, blue, brown , brown, brown, hazel, blue, brown, green, brown, blue… Wait, green!
I spun back around, searching for the boy I had run right past in my search for him.
There he was, standing in front of me, smirking at the fact that I had been so preoccupied with looking for him that I had missed him, and he knew for a fact that that was exactly what had happened.
Suddenly, I was even less aware than I had been before of the hundreds of people standing around. All I wanted was to be in his arms again. So I sprinted the ten yards that separated us and flung myself at him.
He stumbled a bit, but didn't let go. He held onto me like I was the only thing holding him to the Earth, and I did the same.
Eventually, we both pulled back, but only the slightest bit. Only enough to see into each other's eyes. I was pulled into the deep vortex of green and, not caring that I must look like the most love struck, needy girl there ever was, I sobbed and leaned forward as he did the same, and caught his lips in mine. This was the feeling I had been waiting so long for. Love, security, bliss.
After minutes, hours, or perhaps several sunlit days, we pulled apart, and though the faint echo of cheers could be heard by both of us, they seemed so far away we didn't acknowledge the presence of others. We simply looked into each other's eyes again.
"Hi, Seaweed Brain," I said breathlessly.
"Hi, Wise Girl."
Three words. Three words were all it took for me to know all was well. Three words were all it took for me to know he felt the same way about our time apart as I did.
Three words for me to know we were meant to be.
And no three words could make me feel better than those.
