He met her a little over 2years ago, precisely on Wednesday the 19th. She was the doctor and he was the patient. She had spent 3hours operating on his near ruptured appendix, and after his anesthesia wore off, he thanked her and left.

He later met again at the church. Surprised she attended the same church as he did, he greeted her, silently deciding to get her number at the close of the service. He did.

And though he thought about her more often than he wanted to, he called her for the first time two months later. What surprised him was how easy it was to talk with her, and though he had always believed that love came slowly, he knew after 3months that he loved her.

But then, he was just a friend. At least in her eyes. As a result, when they saw or spoke, he pretended he felt nothing and wanted nothing.

He also did nothing.

Like the wind, the months flew into years and yet he remained her friend. But with it came a cross too heavy to carry as the days go by.

This business of pretend was quick becoming a fire, and he had no doubt he would burn....
