2 Feelings

"I just don't feel the same way about you anymore."

I wake up. 5 in the morning. Somehow everything felt right. The weather, the mood, my home. Everything just all of a sudden brought me joy, even the annoying neighbor John who's always blasting music early in the morning. Nothing can possibly make me happier than finally dating Kate. Of course, the only thing that could make me happier is her, but you get how I feel. It's like all the lost vigor just came back right as I laid eyes on her. What a wonderful feeling. Maybe I'll go for a run. I just never felt so motivated to do anything to better myself. I guess it just makes it easier when you're doing it for someone you're in love with. Maybe it's not that. Maybe you finally love yourself because you found someone who loves you. This new found boost of self confidence will change my life, and the life of the person you share it with for the better. As I'm doing my morning run, my phone notifies me of a text.

"Morning sweetie! Did you sleep well?"

I think about what I should say for a moment. "Morning babe. Better than ever now that I have you!"

"Awww. You're so adorable!" I imagine her saying this with a gorgeous smile.

I finish my run, take a shower, and get ready to go to school to see my amazing girlfriend. As I make my way to school, I'm way too distracted to care about anything else at the moment. Just thinking about her is enough to occupy my mind. I can't stop thinking about her. Why is that? Am I getting too attached? Was I that lonely? Why am I so ruled over the thought of her? Whatever. I love it. I guess this is what they call a honeymoon phase. I hope this lasts forever. I hope she thinks…

"Aden!" yells Kate. "Wait for me!"

Oh it's Kate. How coincidental that she shows up now.

With a stupid, but adorable, smile on her face she says, "Hey since we're going the same way, why not go to school together."

"Sure beautiful, whatever milady requires."

"You're so stupid!" she replies while trying to hold in her laughter.

When we get to school, I drop my newly found love to her classroom and head to mine. I somewhat feel bad for people who won't experience highschool love. It's a feeling like no other. The whole world starts to sparkle, and make you do things unimaginable to our ignorant minds that pre-existed your state of love. It's an amazing feeling that would be such a waste to not experience just once. I feel even more terrible for the ones who took the courage to try, but end up in tragedy and end in scars, walls built up, and become reclusive to the idea of an intimate relationship. I can guarantee that won't be the case most times. The experience Kate and I have and will have… you will also experience. Whether it be sooner, or later. Although, you all know how things will end up between Kate and I. I just didn't notice that while driving down this road with the most beautiful scenery of the falling autumn leaves, would lead to a cliff.
