"We could have had something beautiful."

He said,having the girl next to him.

"I liked you ever since we were 15,but I was always pulling myself from reaching out to you."

"That was the mistake I did."

"Why did you like me?"The girl asked,clinging on her glass of alcohol.

"Your confidence.You show how you truly are and you aren't ashamed of it."

"My confidence."She laughed,shaking her head."I don't have one.And I can't believe that you actually liked me,I am so ugly."

"Don't say nonsense,you are beautiful.You have such a low self esteem and you shouldn't.You are such an amazing person."

Her eyes gazed away.

"When I said,that 'this guy is so lucky to have you',last year,maybe it was because I was tispy or not,but it is because I like you."

Her heart was racing,unable to say anything.

"And when we were at the beach,playing alcohol games with the fire going,and you said to me that you used to like me when we were 15,but you never did anything because you were scared,I felt my whole world collapsing.I really felt like a fool that didn't make a move."

She inhaled sharply.

"I thought you never noticed me."

"No,in fact,I was always looking at you.All throughout high school,I was always appreciating you from afar.Because you clicked something in me."

"There is no way another girl didn't made you that click."

The boy sit up with a sigh.

"Well,i tried something with two girls.Both of them were fucking terrible.With one of them we had a small click of the moment,but it didn't last.Not like when I saw you.You really made a huge click."

Her eyes went wide,wanting to cry.

"But,don't you think we wouldn't make a not so great couple?You like sports,and I like staying inside,lazing around."

He chuckled.

"So?We could have found something in between for both of us to do."

She looked away,covering her mouth.

"Hey,don't cry."

"It is just,I never had someone say those words to me.Especially since you were one of my crushes,one of my loves."

He laughed at the last one,making her cheeks red.

Her eyes shifted towards him,looking into his eyes.

"So,if it wasn't for my boyfriend,you would have made a move?"

"Last summer?Certainly.But I respect my friend,and I don't want any fuckups.I see him as a brother."

She nodded,lowering her head.

"Let's say,as a general subject,that something happens and I break up with him.Will you make a move?"

He gently smiled.

"Honestly,yes,I am not going to say it is going to be easy,because our relationship will be long distance,but it wouldn't hurt to try."

She gave him a faint smile,looking at her glass and then back at him.

"Maybe in the future.Who knows right?"

"Right."

He smiled back.

But this specific sentence keeps going around her head.

"We could have had something beautiful."

It made my heart break.

After that night,I was crying and blaming my insecurities for not getting closer with you.

But,who knows.

Maybe in the future.

Maybe.

-his confession that I hold dear to my heart
