crescencia,
Everything is like an action-packed blockbuster: tons of workload at the back of his mind, piles of other tasks on his shoulders, a truckload of obligations.
Yet she comes in slow motion.
She makes his heart pause when their eyes meet. Everything suddenly disappears, except for him and her. She makes things blurry the way the background does in movies. Mysteriously, his favourite song starts ringing in his ears. His song becomes her song. It becomes their song and the world sort of stops to notice both of them…to witness that one moment of magic…
…Until he looks away and pretends not to feel.
In an instant, the blurry scenes return to normal and the noise shatters their song. It hurts him so much to turn a blind eye from one that has made him feel something he has never felt before. Yet he did look away… because he was unsure.
Who would believe slow motion never existed in real life? Movies have always tended to exaggerate in order to appeal to the senses. Yet there she was proving him wrong.
His skin still feels tense after that one moment. He tries to ignore the goosebumps and the shivering sensation all over his body but that one moment hit him harder than he thought. He tries to hide his smile but the memory tickles his soul and the eerie nostalgia is undeniable like misty air. No remedy works. He keeps on remembering.
To this very day, he has never forgotten… and yet… he has never confessed.
Remembering was the best and worst decision he ever made.
The moment clings to his heart, leaving bittersweet stains of regret and longing.
The moment could never be replaced.
She could never be replaced.
