Mmeso Inspires: The Crush

I knew he was down to me just like I was to him.

I knew it.

But I’m never compromising.

We first met at the mall, he was behind me pretending to be engrossed in a book.

Three days later, our eyes met after we had bumped into each other in front of a public library.

It was an intense stare from both of us…

I never knew he was such a gentle fellow,

Though people said he is rude, I thought otherwise until I found out that they were right,

He wanted to impress me.

I knew he was down to me just like I was to him.

I knew it.

But I am never compromising…

After our first encounter, It seemed I started seeing him everywhere.

At the mall, at the church, at the beach…

What a coincidence!

Then I met him in school, he was three class ahead of me. Double coincidence!

Lately, I started seeing him in my dreams…

It seems blurry, It appears delusional,

Until he slipped a note in my hand.
