The Dream I Didn't See

Haley

Earlier this year,I was getting my things out of my bag to begin the day when I noticed an unfamiliar face in my classroom. The teacher announced that he was a new student and that he was going to choose someone to show him around and help him throughout the school day. I didn't think much of him until he requested that I show him around. I was skeptical but I agreed to show him the ropes. Throughout the day he chatted my ear off with questions about ME. I had no idea why this boy was interested in knowing me at all, so I confronted him. I demanded to know why he had taken an interest to me so quickly. He was silent for a moment and just said he thought I was pretty and he thought he might want to know what I had to say. I thanked him and apologized for my rude behavior, He accepted it.

Over the next few months we grew closer and closer and my boyfriend never stopped hurting me. He would always tell me I deserved better. We both eventually grew feelings for each other, but I had recently broken up with someone and I wasn't ready. He said he'd wait months if he had to, But being the fool that I was, I found someone else.
He never got mad at me, He never scolded me, He just waited patiently for me to notice him through the crowd. Eventually,I finally figured out that he was the guy of my dreams and I almost kicked myself for not noticing it before. I told him the next day at school and he just hugged me and said thank you. To this day,I still regret never noticing him or his affections. Although,this happened a week or two ago,I still regret it so much. He was my dream guy that I never saw. I still can't believe how blind I was!! He told me thank you and that it was ok. But to me,it's just not ok. I can't imagine what he felt.... I know two things for sure 1: That there is no other guy like him. and 2: Whoever the girl that gets to have him is lucky in every way,shape,and form. I envy her.But yeah,I had to get that off my chest really badly so.... I suppose I'll have to live with that. But anyway I'd like to thank you for reading this :) I appreciate it very much.
