Its Curious...

Its curious. What shes done to me. That simple gesture, that one act of kindness. Everything changed. How could something so simple change a person so much? How can something so simple touch a person so much? Its curious.

And then there is the question of why? i know its silly, but I find myself asking just that. Was it simply out of friendship, out of happiness that I am safe, or was it something more? Was it because she sees me more than just a 'friend', or 'brother' could it be possible?

I didnt used to think like this. Things used to be much more simple. I had my best friend, and then there was her. She was the bookworm I always ran to when I couldnt figure things out for myself. I ran to her for advice. She was like a sister to me. Then in an instant everything changed.

I have never had a so called 'happy life', infact before her I had never even been hugged that I could actually remember. She gave me my first. At that time I didnt consider it to be more than out of friendship. But this time. This time its different. It feels different.

I still feel a slight tingle on my cheek when I think about it. When I think of that moment that changed everything for me. She leaned over and did something she has never done before. She kissed me, and with that kiss stole my heart.

Its curious these things I'm feeling. Suddenly I am afraid of my bestfriend. Afraid of losing her, afraid of change. Me afraid? Yes it happens. Most people when they look at me dont really see me at all. They see 'Him'. The-boy-who-lived, brave Harry Potter. But not her. When she looks at me, she doesnt see 'Him', she sees me. The real me, and I think she likes it.

Change. I know that its bound to happen, but things were always so perfect. Now everything is different. The way I see her, how I feel. What if it was all out of friendship? What if she doesnt feel for me? What will I do then you ask? I will go on, and try my best to keep our friendship. It is to precious to me. I know that it would be hard, but I sincerly I will try. I may love her, but I do not want to lose over that.

Love her? Thats what I just thought... Now thats curious. I have never thought that thought about anyone in that way before. Do I love her? Maybe.

Its curious, what shes done to me. With that simple gesture...
