Aaron Vialpando Poet Prose

Gambit Heart

Initially, we were cautious about speaking to one another. We did not know how each other responded to each other's posts. What ultimately happened was a strong friendship that continued to grow with each passing day. We would talk more about our lives to one another to the point that we already felt like we were together. We both said that we would follow our lives and speak to each other, that's more than friends. We will continue to teach each other the languages we know. There was one day, six weeks after our conversation began, when the first significant milestone in our friendship would occur. I had taken a friend out for dinner, and it was a time of happiness and sadness. When she came to the restaurant, she had already had enough alcohol to make her happy. When she ordered a drink it was strong as it was a pure vodka.
After we ate, I would take her home as there was no coffee shop to help clear her mind. When I first picked her up to go on a date, she kissed me on the cheek. I ended up blushing. At the end of the date, when I dropped her off at the house, she kissed me on the cheek again, and I would turn her kiss. Before I left, she still had one of my earbuds in her ear. She returned it and kissed me one more time. When you asked about the date with a blushing face, I told you of all the details except for what happened before we ate.
You took a while to respond as you were writing a long text. You said you were happy for both of us and that you would keep a distance. Well, your posts later on were directed at me, as I know you were not that advanced in education. I did feel some pain, but I didn't realize it would hurt you to know that I was moving on with my life. We would speak a week later, or we would talk constantly and grow closer. This would continue until you stopped talking; it would only focus on your sadness. But you never focused on anyone else yourself. It's pretty alright, and I have always had strong feelings for you, but those feelings could only be those of a friend. And this is how we all have our friendships, and it is best that we remain friends and not decide to go further. Only God can make that determination for us to be more than that. So, I bid you farewell and wish you all the best with your life choices. Remember, I always loved you.
