The Boy I Fell In Love With
The boy I fell in love with
Serenity
Are you still awake?
Nathan
Always, if it means talking to you.
Serenity
You’re such a flirt…
Nathan
Only with you.
…Did you look at the stars tonight?
Nathan
I did. They reminded me of your eyes. Quiet. Soft. Kind of endless.
Serenity
I think I’m falling for you.
And it terrifies me.
Nathan
Then let’s fall together.
I’ll catch you every time.
Serenity
What if you let me fall?
Nathan
Then I’ll catch you again.
That’s the only way it works.
Serenity
You’re not scared?
Nathan
Of falling? No.
If I fall, I want it to be with you
Serenity
But you don’t know what’s on the other side.
What if it hurts? What if it’s too much?
Nathan
If we don’t take that leap, we’ll never know.
And I think… I think the only way to truly live is to jump.
Serenity
You make it sound so easy.
Nathan
I make it sound easy because with you, it is.
Serenity
Nathan…
What if I said I’m scared of what this means?
Nathan
I don’t want to scare you.
But maybe it’s time we stopped pretending we don’t feel this.
Nathan
You’re not alone in this, Serenity.
I’m right here.
Serenity
I don’t know what to say…
I’ve been waiting for you to say something like that for so long.
Nathan
Then you don’t need to say anything.
Just let me show you how much I mean it.
Serenity
Nathan…
You make everything feel different.
Nathan
Because you make everything feel real.
Serenity
Maybe… maybe I’ve been falling for you for longer than I thought.
Nathan
Then let’s keep falling. Together.
We’ll figure this out. One step at a time.
“I never believed a chat could change everything… until his words started feeling like home. Maybe falling in love was never meant to be something I feared. Maybe, it was always supposed to be with him.”
