"I don't like you...", she told me straight in my face. "Just forget it.. don't even wait.", she added. I let out a slight grin and said, " then.. OK.. let's just be friends then. OK?". "OK.", she said. I know that was not going to be the last time that I will tell her how special she is for me. She was just 15 years old and it was just months since I celebrated my 21st birthday. We hang-out a lot; Just talk about anything - music, love, politics, religion, human rights, and so on and so forth.
Before that conversation took place I already determined in my heart that I am ready for whatever she will say. If she rejects me then it's worth it. Somebody so special should be worthy of hurting me emotionally. I won't regret being rejected by somebody so special to me. So there I was.. letting out that slight smile that might changed the mood of the situation. The next night, we spoke again as if I never told her that I love her and I want her to be my girl the previous night. This probably came in as a surprise to her but I was not going to allow it put a gap between us. If I can't have the girl then I want the friend. That night, I am ready to be just a friend.
One day, she told me that she likes the song, "I could sing of Your Love" by Sonicflood so what I did was I went to a friend and asked him to help me play that song using a guitar. She is musically inclined so I am planning to impress her by playing that song using her guitar (I don't own a guitar but she does). If you know me personally I can't even play a "cling-clang". I mean I don't play any musical instrument but I sing. And I found my voice to be OK. So I thought, if I can just learn a bit of strumming and sing at the same time then I should be able to pull this amazing feat of playing a guitar. And so there I was playing and practicing one single song - I could sing of you love. My friend didn't asked why I want that song, he just showed me how to do it. I practiced for about 2-3 Saturdays. After feeling a little bit of confidence... I feel that I am now ready to present this amazing act of playing the whole song.
So I went to her.. chitchat a bit. Then asked for the guitar and started playing the song that she like.:D I know I was not impressive but I think I was able to pull it off. You know why? Because she sang with me!!! hehehehe... yeah she sang with me.."Over the mountains and the sea.. Your river runs with love for me.." hehehe... she sang with me. :)
