My Heart only Beats for You

Should it be this way?

Dylan said many things to her, starting from when they were still students. He talked about meeting her for the first and what she liked to eat.

"Selina, do you remember what you wrote in your first love letter to me?"

"You said, I was the best looking guy in school and that you were the most beautiful girl. You said that we were made for each other and it was your destiny to be my girlfriend."

"You hated coffee that had too much sugar. You loved adding other tastes to it too, and it had to be mango-flavored."

"You really didn't like black clothes. You always said you looked like a widow in them."

"Foods with herbs in them were the worst. Anytime there were herbs in your meal, you were disgusted."

Selina stayed silent.

She was slowly tearing up.

She didn't expect him to remember all those things, and so clearly too.

After all these years, he really did remember

everything about her.

"Ok, ok, that's enough Dylan. Stop talking now!" she was getting a little choked up.

She was afraid she would lose control of herself if he kept talking.

In the very next moment, Dylan had pulled her into his strong embrace. She could feel his warm breath on her skin.

But she still felt cold inside.

Dylan softened his tone. "Selina, do you remember what you said? You said one of your favorite parts of weddings was seeing doves being set free. You loved it when there were airplanes flying about in the open sky leaving behind colorful trails. I remember everything you said. I don't want to do any wrong by you. You shouldn't have to settle for my shortcomings. Selina, don't you see? I've always loved you." Selina finally cracked, she couldn't hold it in anymore and her tears began to flow.

She remembered. She remembered every detail of the time she'd told him these things.

It was only a year ago and she only ever mentioned it to him once.

Back then, he didn't say anything at all, he was just indifferent to it.

She recalled how disappointed she was at him for being so dismissive. She even believed he had ignored her and didn't hear anything she had said.

But now it was clear how wrong she was about him.
