auntie. (Baby I Love You)
One to Want : Countdown to Escape
"It has been a year hasn't it?"
The voice distrupted the painful silence I had learned to enjoy. The voice I instantly identify, but too afraid to confirm. The voice I missed, as much as I missed his presence in my life.
"Really?"
"You didn't sound surprised at all."
The fact is, I'm so surprised I couldn't even turn to look at him.
The most beautiful thing that had graced my life. So beautiful that I couldn't possibly deserve such a miracle.
"I missed you."
I should've been used to it, yet the words still made my heart burst in such a torturously blissful way. How I wished such words could be real.
"You're not even going to say 'i miss you too' at least? You're really something, auntie."
There he said that magic word. The reason why we both need to stay in our own lanes. Even if he didn't say the word, the fact remains.
I'm just an aunt. He's far too young, too beautiful.
"You can remain silent like the loser you always choose to be auntie, but like it or not, I'll keep coming back. Until you look at me. It has been that way, and it will remain that way. Why? The answer is so damn obvious to anyone but you who simply choose the easy way out to act blind. I love you. One day, you'll be unable to deny that you feel the same way towards me. I'll keep coming back for that day."
for 25/7
