Maybe Someday

 

Prologue

 

Running, running, running. It's what I've been doing all my life. I've been running since I was seven and believe it or not, I love it. Why I ran away from my problems instead of facing them? Well that's none of your business, now is it?

 

I've seen it all, I know it all, I've been there, I've done that. You don't need to know the specifics do you? I get by, by taking meaningless jobs on my travels. I don't really need much, just food and a place to stay at night. And most of the time I sleep under the stars anyhow.

 

My life may not be perfect, but it's good enough for me. I get to decide what happens; I'm in total control. Well, at least that's what I thought up until now. I thought I was able to do anything, go anywhere I please, be anything that I wanted. But that was before I met her. I don't know her name, but I k now that she is the most stunning being that ever walked the earth.

 

She doesn't know that I exist yet. And I'm happy that she may never know who I am. I'm perfectly fine with that. But maybe, maybe someday I'll tell her.

 

Let's see, where shall I start? One day I was walking down the street and I just saw her there and knew it was meant to be? No! I didn't just see her there! It was much more magical than that!

 

I was walking to my new job when something caught my eye on the other side of the street. (No, it wasn't her. In fact I don't really remember exactly what it was, but that's beside the point!) So I was looking across the street and as I rounded the corner, she froze me. My entire body froze just because of her, event though it was a scorching hot day out. I even think that my heart stopped beating at that moment.

 

I stared at her with my mouth open just a crack. She turned my way and caught a glimpse of me. She was looking right at me. The entire world had stopped. She was looking at me and I was looking at her. There was so much energy in that stare. I felt my ice heart melting rapidly. She was smiling. But not at me. She was smiling with her friends—but still looking at me.

 

A small smile escaped my hardened face as I watched her. She kept staring at me. I kept my eye on her. She had the most stunning blue-gray eyes and beautiful dark raven hair. Her milk skin looked so soft and creamy; I could feel my hand itching to touch it to see if it really felt as soft as it looked. I could tell right away what she was feeling. Every emotion that she had was held in her eyes. Happiness, love, contentment, those were what she was feeling at that specific moment. But there were deeper feelings than that. What was it that I detected? Sadness, regret and fear? Maybe that's what I thought was so amazing about her. That she could be so happy with such obvious pain in her life. I knew at that specific moment that I wanted to get to know her more.

 

But that wasn't all that drew me near her. She looked oddly familiar to me. Like I've seen her somewhere before, that I could've sworn that I know her from long ago, and yet at the same time I've never even met her before or knew that she existed up until now. I feel as though she's someone or looks exactly like someone I know. And I can't remember which bugs the hell out of me. I need to know who she is. It's not a want. It's a need.

 

Right as I put my foot down to step across the street, everything turned back to normal. Cars went flying past, and people went back to hurrying wherever the hell the needed to get to so fast. I was left standing still on the curb of the street in the middle of all the chaos until I gathered all my sense and courage and crossed the road to fallow her.

 

I crossed the street and aimed to stay a few feet behind her, not wanting her to know that I was behind her yet. But all of a sudden she turned around a corner. I sped up my pace not wanting to lost sight of her, but when I made that same corner, every trace of her seemed to disappear. I couldn't see her anywhere. That was when I vowed to find her again. But I didn't know what was yet to come in my future. I thought it was all fun in games. But I don't need to get into that yet. You'll soon learn about that.

 

Hey, you know what I just realized. You don't know my name. Personally, I'd like to keep it that way. But I guess it won't really cut it. So I'll give you my nickname. That'll do it.

 

Call me Flip Flop.
