Hopeless Romantic

Waffle House at Goose Creek.

All I want is to meet him at the moment I am fully healed from all the wounds of my past. I don’t expect a grand meeting. I am not that demanding. I could bump into him in a grocery store while I am carrying these gigantic bags of fruits and meats. I could also bump into him in school because as usual, I am running late or maybe, he will ask permission to share a table with me in the PJs café because the place is packed. Not demanding, right? After all these, we'll start the conversation with one of us apologizing.

"I'm really, really sorry."

One of us will flash a blinding smile like it's really nothing. "Oh, you are totally fine."

Then the rest will be history for a great friendship. A friendship where I can totally be me when I'm around him, where I can punch him in the face, in his stomach or in his biceps. That me stealing his food every time he is about to put it in his mouth doesn't annoy him. I can always shoot him a message whenever I am complaining about how cold it was this morning, or how hard it was to find a parking spot and that I am starving to death because I did not eat my breakfast.

He will just send a lol and tongue's out emoji with a message of "Serves you right, you woke up late."

How rude right? But I will not be upset because he is right anyways. I am used to him being rude and frank, the way he got used to me complaining about random things.

We will also have some arguments for sure because as a friend, I care about him. I will be mad at him because why does he have to spend $500 on a first date with some girl when they can just both go eat at Chic-Fil A and go somewhere not that fancy but they both will have fun and enjoy?

He will also call me out for always doubting myself. He will let me know how he is getting sick of me worrying about my grades, how I am such a procrastinator but at the same time a whiner of low exam grades. That will be my eye-opening moment because he is right. He will be right about almost everything. He is someone who can make me laugh, but also someone who can keep me grounded with reality, not sugar-coating anything.

Our friendship will go through a lot of ups and downs. We will even go our separate paths with the dating scenes. However, our friendship will grow stronger and will help us both in molding us into the best versions of ourselves. We don't have to do everything together. We just know we got each other.
