The couple that never were

He's a charismatic young lad. She, a shy school girl. The two never thought they'd meet.

They go to the same school, attend the same class, share the same schedule, talk to the same people everyday. On the first day of school, they said "hi" and talked and laugh together with the whole class. He even kept on repeating her name so as not to forget. As the school year passed, they became close and both shared secrets. Morning till night, they would talk to each other. They have another friend, but he's not exactly the story. But nothing really grew between them.

The story goes that the lad focused on "something else" and chose to be with "someone else", while the lady is interested on their bestfriend. But they're still together. They hold hands, they hug, they call each other sweet names. Nothing really grew, but they share this special bond, a somewhat "more than friends, but less than lovers" type maybe. Who cares? people can define the closeness they share, but only those 2 knows the real story. Until now, they're friends, the best of friends. Open, honest and special to each other (they like to think so). But they were never a couple. And if you ask them why, they'll just answer with a smile, with a twinkle in their eyes.

Darling, you inspired me to write this. A tribute to our friendship ;)
