Leaf
=====
During Pre-University days, I like to collect leaves.
Why? Because I felt that it takes a lot of courage for
a leaf to leave the tree she has been relying on for so
long. During the three years of Pre-University, I was
on very close terms with a guy. We were not in a relationship
but were best buddies. However, when he had his first
girlfriend, I learned to develop a new feeling I should
never have learned - Jealousy. The sourness in the heart
can't be described by using a lemon. It felt like a hundred
rotten sour lemons. It was sourness at the extreme limit.
They were only together for two months. When they broke
up, I hid my strong sense of happiness. It was short lived
as he got together with another girl within a month’s
time.
I like him and I know he likes me. However, why won't
he pursue me? Since he loves me, why didn't he make the
first move? Whenever he has a new girlfriend, my heart
will hurt. Time after time, my heart was hurt. I started
to suspect that this is a one-sided love. If he doesn't
like me, why does he treat me so well? He’s niceness
is beyond what you will normally do for a friend. Liking
a person is very heart wrenching. I know his likes and
his habits but I can never figure out his feelings towards
me. You can't expect me to confront him right?
Despite that, I still want to be by his side. I wanted
to care for him, accompany him and love him. I hoped that
one fine day, he will love me. It's like waiting for his
phone call every night and waiting for him to sms me.
I know that no matter how busy he is, he will make time
for me. Hence, I waited for him. The three years were
the hardest to go through and I really wanted to give
up. Sometimes, I wonder if I should continue waiting.
The pain, the hurt and dilemma accompanied me for three
years.
At the end of my third year, a second year junior started
to pursue after me. He pursues me relentlessly everyday.
It came to a point where my feelings towards him changed
from outright rejection to being willing to let him have
a small footing in my heart. He's like a warm and gentle
wind, trying to blow a Leaf away from the Tree. In the
end, I realized that I didn't want to give this wind only
a small footing in my heart. I know this Wind will bring
this badly battered Leaf far away to a better land. Finally,
I left Tree but Tree only smiled and didn't ask me to
stay.
Leaf’s departure is because of Wind pursuit. Or
because Tree didn't ask her to stay.
Wind
=====
I like a girl called Leaf. I have to be a gust wind as
she's too dependent on Tree. A Wind that will blow her
away. When I first met her, it was one month after I transferred
to the new school. I saw a petite person looking at my
seniors and me playing soccer. She will always be sitting
there during our soccer practise looking at him regardless
if she’s alone or with friends. There's jealousy
in her eyes when he talks with other girls. There's a
smile in her eyes when he looks at her. It became my habit
to look at her just like how she likes to look at him.
One day, she didn't appear. I felt something was amiss.
I couldn't explain the feeling except that it's a kind
of uneasiness. The senior wasn’t there as well.
I hid outside their classroom and saw my senior scolding
her. He left her with tears in her eyes. I saw her at
her usual place looking at him the next day. I walked
over and smiled at her. I took out a note and gave it
to her. She was surprised. She smiled and looked at me
before accepting the note.
She passed me another note and left the next day.
Wind couldn't blow her away because Leaf's heart is too
heavy.
It's not that Leaf’s heart is too heavy. It is
because Leaf never wanted to leave Tree
I replied her note with this statement and she started
to accept me slowly.
She talked to me, accepted my presents and phone calls.
I know that the person she loves is not me. However, I
kept up my perseverance as I believe that one day I will
make her like me. Within four months, I have declared
my love for her no less than twenty times. Every time,
she will divert the topic away. Nevertheless, I never
give up. I decided that if I want her to be mine, I will
definitely use all means to win her over. I can't remember
how many times I declared my love to her. Although I know
she will try to divert the topic away, I still bear a
small ray of hope every time as I hope that she will agree
to be my girlfriend.
During my last declaration of love for her, I didn't
hear any reply from her over the phone.
I asked, "What are you doing? Why didn't you reply
my proposal?"
She said, "I'm nodding my head."
"Ah?" I couldn't believe my ears.
"I'm nodding my head" She replied loudly.
I hung up the phone, dressed up quickly and rushed to
her place in a taxi. I hugged her tightly the moment when
she opened her door.
Leaf’s departure is because of Wind pursuit. Or
because Tree didn't ask her to stay.
