Do you remember love?

Smile, when you feel most like crying.

She smiled at him, the corners of her mouth upturned, her teeth flashing white to signal all was alright. Only her eyes betrayed what was within. He wouldn't notice anyway.
He didn't.

-So you're telling to go for it?- he asked with such innocence and cluelessness that she almost laughed out loud.

No.

-I'm telling you to do what you feel you should do- she replied, not understanding why she did, but knowing exactly why she had to.

-What I feel?- he scratched his head as he mulled over it.
She loved the way he did that. She loved many things about him.
-What I feel huh? I love her... that counts for much huh?-

I love her. I love you. What about I love you? I'm here dammit! I'm in front of you!

She laughed.
-Doesn't that make things easier? You love her! That settles it then-

He chuckled along.
-I love her alright. The way she laughs, how those emerald eyes sparkle. Have you ever seen them? They shine when she smiles. And that smile!-

I love the way you scratch your cheek when you laugh. I love those brown eyes that speak to my soul. The way you touch me, or squeeze me, or hug me. Or kiss me.

-I'm like crazy now. I can't seem to get her out of my thoughts! She's like a Goddess to me. Heh, very melodramatic I know, but hey, you know me-
He gave her a smirk. She loved the smirk too.

Enough already! ENOUGH!!!!

She cleared her throat.
-What do you think you should do then?-

He broke into a smile. She knew with a sinking heart that he had the answer.

-I know what to do now. Love waits for no man eh?- he said.

I've waited and I'm still waiting. I've been waiting all my life. All your life. For all our lives dammit.

-Nope. Love's impatient. Go for it tiger- she encouraged.

-I will! No regrets! All the way huh?- he stood and gave her a hug. It thrilled her and yet, she fell into despair, knowing it would never be one other than that of a friend.

-All the way- she hugged back.

I love you. Say it... please.

-That's why you're my best friend!-

I love you...

-Yeah...best friends- she repeated, and smiled brightly at him.
