the day the earth stood still.

while i was waiting for a ride at the mall, i sat on the bench outside by the fountain; the one we sat on that first day we saw each other, that very bench of which you asked me to be your girlfriend.

we were only talking to each other for 4-5 days, but we knew it was different. we knew it was love. nothing was rushed, everything just happened; everything just felt right.

that was one of the slowest weeks in history. the anticipation almost killed us. we were counting down the days, and the hours until we would see each other on that saturday; December 13,2008.

the day finally came. i was so nervous and you were too. i remember talking on the phone, and you said, "when i see you, i'll probably pee in my pants because you're so beautiful."

on the way to the mall, my palms began to sweat and my heart rate was very high.i finally got to the mall and i called you. i saw you and audrey descend from the escalator, and you were turned around.
you told me that you were scared that i wouldn't be as pretty as you thought and you were so nervous; but you said i was too pretty you had to turn around.

audrey greeted me and hugged me, and you were right behind her.
and then, my heart melted. butterflies filled my body, and i was in your arms for the first time and i was in heaven. we went up stairs i the elevator and i still had my gloves on. i took them off and my hands were sweaty as haaaail. one, because of my lotion, and two, because of you. when we got upstairs, you introduced me to your friends! i remember meeting johnny, luke,marlon, jt, mickey, nesly, tim, and a lot of others i just forgot. we were sitting down and we were just watching everyone do their thang. i was vey shyyy. i whispered something in your ear and you were like ," no not here!" but then you were like oh well! and then you kissed me. heaven.
we walked around the food court a bit and said hi to heidi, erwin, and iramae. while walking we were trying to figure out the most comfortable way to hold hands. we ran into theresa and we walked around with her for a little while.

i remember going to forever2 with you and your friends, and with theresa. iw as tryn to look for a secret santa present for jessa but i had no luck. after theresa left we were just walking around with your friends. you were scared that my mom was following us cause you didn't know what she looked like.

everyone split up, and we went outside to wait for ronnie and sarah for our little "double date." we waited outside in the freezing cold for about an hour. but i remember kissing you, and in between those kisses, we would say "i love you." it was always like that; saying i love you while kissing.thats how we would end kisses too. well in between a kiss, you said, "oh yeah before i forget, we have to make this official. will you be my girlfriend?" of course i said yes and we continued kissing, hehe. you unoficially asked me out on the phone at 11:59 pm on December 11. I said Yes on 12:00 am on December 12.

We were still waiting and it was getting colder and darker. Our hands were freezing, so we rubbed our hands together. I remember saying something about your hoodie, how it was nice and soft and my favorite color. You were wearing your teal hoodie, pink and purple striped shirt, black skinnies, and your blue vans. I was wearing my flannel jacket, virginia is for lovers shirt, black hi tops and i had my unicorn bag! We were swinging our feet on the bench, and i looked at the sky.The sky became littered with tiny white dots and I pointed out the big star, and it became Our star. We named it Venus. I haven't seen Venus since we were together isn't that ironic? It was getting too cold, so we decided to go inside. I went to starbucks to buy a giftcard for jessa and sarah finally came!

You bought my ticket for me and insisted because you had a job. We got a slushie! During the movie, while we weren't watching the movie, ronnie kept throwing popcorn at me and gave me a thumbs up. That movie was so whack, but it was GRREAT because i was wth you. The last two lines of that movie was
"They're gone."
"No, he's gone."

We went inside that postcard picture booth thing and said we should take a photobooth picture one day. We didn't do that one because it was espensive and it was only one picture, so we just warmed up in there. We were waiting around for people and I remember you called nghia to go to the mall a while back. he came but left shortly. We left our slushies on that table and it was time for me to go.
I introduced you to my mom and sister, and sat with them after you split up to go with your friends.

I remember you said something to marlon and isiah that made them upset and they asked me where yo were; and i told them you went with kim.

Welll that was one of the best days of mah lyfe!





While I was waiting, and reminiscing, I was listening to my ipod and i put it on shuffle. Songs about waiting for the right one, moving on, and letting go came on.
What a coincidence!
