A very short love story

-Miguel Nebrida

If I were then past my innocence I would have said yes to a girl who said,

‘I like you.’

I would have held her hands and took her to the forest.

Who wouldn’t refused such a proposal from a lovely girl? All the qualities that I admired most, then - she possessed.

She said I was the most handsome boy she had ever seen,
huggable,
lovable and ideal one for her.

I don’t care if she’s one of my sister’s best friends.

What I knew then was that - love was something worth saying
rather than worth feeling.

And if she would say it again,‘I love you,’

I would definitely say ‘Yes”.

While I wait...
