Bliss

by Christopher Walter

College is something new, something I constantly look forward to back in high school. College is a thing that would make me realize my passion in life, and my path as my future lies in my hands. Career and even crush is something that is synonymous to college, at least a heartbeat away. However, having a crush is not as easy in college as I would usually imagine back in senior high.

I am always wondering how she brightens up my day; others cannot, be it a normal Monday or an exciting Sunday. Is it the smile on her face? Is it the eyes that spell the word “connection” every time we converse? Is it the vibe that she exudes that attracts me so much?

Who am I to tell her that she is the only person I can lay my arms on when I need one? Who am I to tell her I can stay by her side when she needs me, especially during days I question my existence on this planet? Who am I to tell her these things, in one of a million other things running in my head every single day? Who knows? “That time” might not be now, but soon? It wouldn’t hurt to tell her I like her, right?

I am always ready to speak when my heart tells me to do so. Hearing her call my name makes my heart race. Seeing her makes me smile deep inside. Those moments make my eyes teary; and those moments prove our ship is sailing. Amidst all the waves that could break our ship, I am glad that she has become part of my life for keeps, and most importantly, for bliss.
