As the tiny orange flame rises up the dark sky and splits into a million sparkling stars, it reminds me of the most beautiful day of my life.
Fourth of July, 2009.
The day that changed my life.
The day I realized what love is.
That beautiful day, when I realized how much I love you.
The combination of the soft sand, shallow waves, blowing wind and the beautiful sky feels so good .
But what feels better, is your presence.
As I sit here and watch the fireworks light up the sky, I remember what has kept me going all these years.
It's you.
Everything in my life is about you and just you.
Here you are, sitting just a few meters away from me.
The reflection of red and yellow flames in your eyes , the light producing a soft glow on your face—when you smile, my heart skips a beat and my breath catches in my throat.
Yes, it does. Even after all this time, you bring out the same reaction in me as that day.
I remember every single moment of that day. You had come here to watch the fireworks with the pack. I had commented about your confused and messy love life.
Your reply that day—that sentence changed my whole life.
"When you truly love somebody Em, nothing else matters…" you had told me, patting me on the cheek.
That was all it took to make me accept my love for you. To make realize how true every word is.
I'm still hanging onto that statement.
You sit just a few meters away from me.
So near. Yet so far.
You lean back in your husband's embrace and rest your head on his shoulder, giggling and blushing at his words.
You will never know about my love for you. And I will never know how will it feel to hold you, to kiss you. I'll never know how will it feel to show you how much I love you.
But it's alright, because you are happy. Seeing you like this makes me smile.
I might never smile with you. But I'll always smile for you.
You were right Bells. When you truly love someone, nothing else matters.
I know how much I love you. I know how true and devoted my love is. And nothing else matters to me except you.
You are with Jake. And you are happy. That is the only thing I want—your happiness.
So yeah, I'm still hanging onto that statement.
I will, for the rest of my life.
Thank you for reading. Have a good weekend. :)
