Aphrodite's Cascade

I was standing across the room with a bottle of water in my hand, it was half empty when I drank another zip of it. He was standing there, as gorgeous as always, playing and smiling, the smile, I once fell for. He was my best friend, my confident, my first love, my actual love, my dreams, my wish. I ran up where he was, and as I jumped to him, he raised me. We were like siblings. He was everything to me. Wonder what will go wrong, paint of perfect picture. He was not feeling the same way for me, or at least I knew not about it. He used to stand and look at me for minutes and then grab my hands and sway across the park with a smile on his face, but what I thought it was the perfect moment, he thought it was the perfect friendship. I loved him and I've used candles, wishbones, 11:11, shooting stars, birthday wishes, eye lashes, everything to have him, but I wouldn't. After he put me down on the floor again we sat, side by side and stayed quiet. Words were over said, we used to communicate by looks, we new each other well enough, and though he knew not, he was everything for me. "Theresa, are you ok?" He asked. Obviously I wasn't, my eyes said I love you everywhere, my smile begged for a kiss and my look wanted a touch, my soul wanted him forever, and he still would not see that, he just would not see anything. "I'm perfectly fine" I responded. I took another zip of water and put it down, he grabbed the bottle and swallow until he finished in the first zip. "Come here, there's something I want to show you" he told me. We were staying at my uncle's camp house, and whatever he have discover, must have been yet interesting or beautiful, maybe both. I stood up and followed, I trusted him with my live. We walked silently for what looked like 7 minutes, in the middle of the forest, and it was not until I heard a noise, that I understood we were on a waterfall. I knew this, I used to come when I was a kid, as a matter of fact, the tires we threw our selves in the water, where still there. The myth said that, the waterfall's water had Aphrodite tears, which were magical and concealed true love as they kiss in this cascade. "I was walking here this morning, thinking" he interrupted my thoughts. "What were you thinking?" I asked, expecting an answer, which I would probably nor receive. "Life." he said. "How is it going?" I smiled as I teased him. He ignored and jumped down the two large rocks until he got the the edge. I was standing in a rock, where the sun burned directly to where I was standing, which I cared less to actually pay any attention, I was too concentrated in the brown of his eyes, I forgot my own's. He turned around and looked at me. "Come here, Re. Trust me" which I did, with all my life. And I did went down and sit ride beside him, again. "This is beautiful, isn't it?" I said. He turned around and stared directly at me. "Yes it is" he answered. I then understood what iit meant missing someone and having right beside you, or wanting someone, when you actually did have them. He picked up a flower, which he got on a tree of the forest, and put it on my head, as he pulled it back. "Jonathan?" I said, feeling awkward. "Yes?" "Can I tell you something?" I asked, wishing he would say no. At that moment, a small rock fell from above and splash us both, some of Aphrodites Cascade. "No, Theresa." I stayed quiet and ignored his answer. I watched as the summer breeze touched our skin as if dancing with it, and smiled. I felt happy, just laying by his side, made me happy. Feeling his happiness was enough, though I was miserable. "You're doing great." He said suddenly. I felt confused, I didn't know what he was meaning, and he saw it on my face. "You asked how was doing my life... You're doing great" I felt puzzled and looked away, hoping he meant what he said. "Theresa?" "Don't say it." I begged. "I won't, just look at me." He plead. And I did. "Close your eyes" I did. He kissed gently my forehead and traced my face with his hands. I didn't open my eyes. "Open your hand." And so I did. I felt a cold metal touching my skin, which when I felt, it was a key. I opened my eyes and he had a small box with him. "Open it." He said, and I tried the key and opened the box. I could see a small folded, almost old paper which had today's date three years ago. And I grabbed it and looked at him. He sat, waiting for me to continue and I did. THERESA I LOVE YOU it said. "Three years from now, I've loved you three years from now" I stayed still, shocked. "I love you, Theresa, and I want you really bad. You're everything for me." I hushed him as quick as I could. "You have me, you've had me, three years ago" and I slowly moved forward. "I love you so, Jonathan." And for the first time I years, my wish came true, he kissed softly my name and whispered the three words I've ever wanted to hear from his mouth. He grabbed my hand and I leaned close, as the twilight showed on the near horizon visible from the cascade.
