This may not be a romantic saying but it's most certainly a romantic do-ing. This happened to me two days ago. Prepare for possible g'awws.
Shannon and I decided to talk about things since we broke up. We decided to stay friends, but I was starting to regret my decision and starting to wonder if it would really still be possible for us to stay together.
We went for a walk in the woods, like we did before we met. She asked what we were doing. I said, "we're just gonna go to the opening in the woods and sit and talk."
We got to the crack in the woods, and stood together near a tree, side by side.
"You know how hard this is for me, right?" said Shannon, blushing, almost in tears.
"I know. But I have a feeling things will get better."
"How do you know?" she replied.
I was silent. Instead, I had thought of an idea. Shannon and I used to play hide and seek in the woods as a joke, and when she found me I'd scare the bajeesus out of her and laugh about it.
"Let's play hide and seek." I said, smiling a little. "You're it."
She stood in the middle of the forest, eyes closed, with one tear falling from her eye. "Alright..." she said quietly.
"10, 9, 8, 7... Wait, where do I count from?" she said.
"Zero," I said, now suddenly nose to nose with her.
We kissed. c:
Then, while we were holding each other, she said the best thing I've ever heard:
"I want to fall in love with you all over again."
YEP so that's been my day and I'm kinda jumpy and such about life and everything and wahoo rainbows
