Chapter 4 - First Light • First Step

It's been a few months since I started to close the distance I created. A-and I must be honest, it's a lot of work. I didn't even think of the damage I had caused you. I feel guilty actually, but that still won't stop me in trying to close this gab. How can I even think about stopping, I just got you back in my life. My smile comes from the heart when I see you, but it looks like all I see is terror and sadness in your gaze in return. Can't say I blame you, I did cause you great pain. Won't lie about something else either, in these past couple of week you seem different... relax in a way.

First time I saw this I thought you were getting bully. It was hard at first just standing their without doing nothing. Little by little did I notice the greatest gift I could wish for. You were trying to reconnect with your old friends

.

It was so cute how you shivered of embarrassment and used the excuse "it's cold" when A/C is clearly broken. I'm sure this moment will stay with me till the day I die. Sadly that didn't last long ones you got used to them again.

Now today, I see you walking my way with your innocent smile of the past. The smile I broke and it's finally coming back. I missed it so much just as much as I want you in my arms. Just hold on a little bit longer. One more day and I know I'll be able to close distance between us.

Now take my hand, and let me take you to meet the me I ripped out of your arms. Take the first step. Take my hand and never let it go. Just to let you know I'm not letting you go.

That's the vow I make to you.
