The Words You Left Unsaid

"I'll be There" by Julie Anne San Jose. One of my favorite OPM.

"First time I laid my eyes on someone like you

I can't forget the hour, that moment with you

Then I have realized

Love is growing deep inside

I feel the beating of my heart"

i'll be there.

The next morning I stepped out into the cold breeze and buried my military boots (I love'em so bad that I've been using it for the past few days) deep under the melting snow.

Winter's nearing its end.

Crack. I stepped on an ice.

A puddle of water was formed and spread slowly throughout the road. Even though winter is nearly leaving, the air still send chills down my spine. Too cold. Or maybe I'm just that cold.

"Okay," I breathed out, "It's time to get this over with."

Besides, time is running out. The hourglass has been turned over.

"We're supposed to pick gifts for your to-be-girlfriend, not to goof around and have me try these!"

"It's my treat anyway! You've done so much for me already and I haven't had the chance to pay you back till now," Zach wheezed.

We're currently in a bazaar near the lake where the water froze over the winter, where there used to be a number of children and families skating across from it. Now the winter's fading away, the cracks have melted and the water surfacing again. The snow around the neighborhood have been melting too and plants are starting to grow again. Zach and I have been touring the bazaar for half an hour now, and he insisted on me trying out some clothes and buying some novelties for me.

Right now he had me wear a floral black long dress, with long sleeves draped to my shoulders accompanied with a rain drop headdress. Don't forget the gem sandals he found to pair the outfit with.

Yes, as cold it still is, I'm wearing a sheer dress that's meant for spring. Or summer. Both, probably.

"I'm freezing," I was wearing a long sleeved maroon turtle neck sweater accompanied with ankle-length ripped jeans with a checkered polo tied around my waist. Even with my gray bonnet and my beloved boots. Now they're resting in peace in a paper bag. I'm totally missing my OOTD right now.

"No, you ain't," He said and pulled me beside him.

He got his Polaroid out of his neck and pulled it upfront, "First, lemme take a selfie,"

"Oh my God, that meme is so old," I told him, trying to find a way to get out of his grasp.

"Say FREEZE!" Zach squealed that I got squished and he flashed his "freeze" smile - where he really had this big smile with his teeth showing and thus making his eyes so small. While beside him, there I was, due to stimuli I also had myself on my frozen state - my smile similar to his. And of course my eyes are visible.
