Love At First Sight

I don't know and still can not tell how we bonded but one thing was for sure, I felt on top of the world having him by myself and special to have someone to shower me with love and care even when I had the guts that I was way out of clique and that was what scared me the more but I was willing to take a baby step towards what I was feeling.

I can't forget how I met him, I can't forget how we bonded the first time we sat close to each other. It was love at first sight and I was attracted to him because of how kind he was to me.

It was on a sunny day, our church had an event in another state and we were supposed to leave early so we could meet up with the event but I had close from work late and had to rush to the church in my work uniform but when I got there, the bus was already filled and had only one seat left which was already taken by him but he had left to the ease himself but since the space was manageable for two people, we had to sit close.

Even though I was seated close to him, I did not have the time to check his face or see who it was that was seated close to me because I was tired and I had to close my eyes so I could rest.

A few minutes into our journey, I was beginning to doze off and because the car was moving, I couldn't sleep well, due to the bump on the road but I felt someone take my head and place it on his shoulder so I could sleep well. Although that act made me open my eyes but he smiled at me and urge me to continue sleeping.

I didn't know what to do because I was already feeling uncomfortable resting my head on his shoulder while I slept and I knew if others saw it, we would become the topic of discussion which I do not like since I am a shy person but I knew I needed the sleep so I thank him and went back to sleep.

After the event was over and we were leaving, I wouldn't know if he deliberately refused to let anyone sit in the space close to him because immediately after I came into the bus, he guarded me to the sitting space he had left for him which was close to him.

I couldn't start up a conversation and so we bought sat staring into our phones awkwardly while others had fun with their sit partners.

Just when I felt, we would be sitting in that position for a long time, he decides to extend his hands for an introduction

We introduced ourselves and so he brought out the snacks he bought for me when our bus made a stop for all of us to get something, since he noticed how exhausted and perhaps hungry I was, he decided to buy something for me. I couldn't help but grin.

While we shared what he bought for me because I couldn't help but ask him to eat we began to know ourselves more.

I realized that while I thought this was my first time seeing him, he had always seen me before now and admired me, while we got to know each other, I realized a few things in common and we couldn't help but laugh at ourselves over the silly things we do most times.

We exchanged phone numbers and we followed each other with our social media accounts every day we are going to any event, he would always keep space for me close to him so we could sit close to each other.

I started believing I am growing on him while he was on me only to realize a few months later that he had a girlfriend and just wanted to be friends with me.

I was devastated and disappointed for months after I finally fell in love with someone, he never felt the same way for me but I decided that since my heart still love him, not seeing him or contacting him was going to help kill that feeling for me and luckily for me, he traveled out of our states.

Although it took months but I was able to move on and until now, I haven't seen or heard from me.

I do miss him most times because of the connection we had but I am glad I was able to move on from him.
