WALKING FORWARD
This something I wrote (apparently - pretty drunk), that seemed to be cool at the time but now simply seems silly. Nonetheless, I need to post it because I told myself that whatever I write should be posted in honor of the exact time and effort put into it.
Sherie and Guy have been seeing each other for quite sometime now, they enjoy each other's company. She's not the type of girl whom he would usually date and He's not who she usually would go for either. But as Chance would have it, they met. They slowly realized how nice it feels to be with each other. Long conversations, coffee while relaxing... This goes on for quite sometime.
SHERIE: "You know, I really like just walking around... Don't care where to, just as long as I get to move around."
GUY: "I'm not really a walker. I'm more of a sit-down-and-talk kind of guy."
SHERIE: "That seems nice, but it gets so boring and monotonous."
GUY: "Not for me... I'd rather stay put. I really really HATE walking around!"
SHERIE: "Sometimes I really wonder why I hang-out with you... We're total opposites!"
GUY: "That may be true, but I guess its also true that opposites actually do attract."
SHERIE: "Speaking of that, I don't know where this... I mean WE... Are going."
GUY: "What do you mean?"
SHERIE: "I mean, we're always together, we know everything about each other... but where are we going? What are we doing? Is this just as it is? Or something more?"
GUY: "Sherie, I really like you."
SHERIE: (biting her lower lip) "So you just like me?"
GUY: "Well its kinda hard to explain... Especially to you."
SHERIE: "Try me, I think I understand things pretty well."
Guy bows down and just pauses. There's silence in the air and anticipation just mounting.
GUY: "Based on my experiences, I can no longer say the words I love you, because I know what saying those words will eventually do to me."
Sherie looks disappointed and decides to turn away. She begins to walk... Guy follows and walks right beside her, still trying to collect his thoughts. Sherie is clearly sad and regrets even asking Guy that question. They walk for 20 or 30 minutes in utter silence. They eventually stop.
Sherie asks, "So you can't say you love me huh? I'm sorry for even asking you. Or for bringing it up. I know you're afraid of that because of what happened to you in the past."
Guy smiles at her and he looks at Sherie, stares straight into her eyes, holds her hand. With all the emotion in his eyes, he utters in a calm and genuine manner "Yes, I can't say that... Maybe not for now. But not because I don't feel it. You know what Sherie? I know I would walk with you everyday! If I couldn't, I would never ever be happy again..."
