Unspoken Feelings

…there was no need to open the can of worms that would destroy my life again. This time, I fear I will never recover.

A story had been playing in my head since Lucas left for college. We were not lovers and certainly didn't think we were each other's soul mate but the physical distance between us hurt. It wasn't like we saw each other every day before he left but we spent a substantial amount of time together. 

Sometimes, I would stare at a boy too much because his hair looked like Lucas's. Other times, I played our conversations in my head but every time, I wished we could be together once more. I would like to see him smiling at me with a lift of his lips, that half-grin did something to me.
