Her and I vs The World Part II

A few years past and we became closer

I saw her become the smartest in her class and become a very well-liked person at school.

She said that the problems with her parents were almost solved. 

Before we graduated we made a promised. 

We promised that we would meet in 3 years at the bench where is all happened. 

I hugged her and we went our separate ways

I moved away while she stayed near home

I went to college to gain an education

I still had that dream of becoming someone

I even met someone there

We had so much in common

We enjoyed the same things, liked the same movies and she even knew how to cook

But she wasn't like the girl I love back home

3 years past and I counted down to the day we both promised. 

I was on my way back home when I thought 

"I think it’s finally time I tell her how much I love her.....I want to marry her"

I acted in the moment and when the bus came to the terminal at 8 am 

I ran out and ran to the closest jewelry store. Then I ran to the closest florist to get a dozen roses. 

I was grabbed a cab and during the cab ride I kept telling myself "I am going to do it"

"This is going to happen"

I got to the bench it was 1 pm.

I sat down and waited there. 

As hours passed I kept telling myself she'll be coming here and then I questioned “What if I was too late?”

After 6 hours of waiting I couldn't take it anymore. 

I finally got the courage to go to her house. 

When I got the nerve to go to her doorstep, I rang her doorbell. 

Her mother answered the door.

I asked her if her daughter was home. 

Her mother replied with a stone face

“My daughter died three years ago, she killed herself because she didn't think she was good enough for us"

Her mother slammed the door in my face as I stood there in shock....

Suddenly I lost all the strength in my legs and dropped to my knees and began to cry.

I guess….I guess my chance was gone and now every day I am alive, my mind reminds me of the words I never said.
