EYES

I caught my self staring at her again. These days it's getting harder not to sneak glances.
Those eyes just melted me when they met mine, and the way she laughs just made me feel warm inside. But every time she catches me looking, I feel a pang of pain because I know I'm staring at someone I'll never have. I had come to terms with the fact that she deserved someone better than me.
After a few weeks, my suspicions gave way to the truth that I saw her with someone. I'll never forget the look she gave him. The man he was with was awfully familiar, he had a smile just like me, talked just like me and even moved like I did, but in a way he was a better version of me. He was taller, less chubby and definitely more confident. I had to look at him for a long time before I realized that I was staring into a mirror and the girl I liked was standing right beside me. She asked me if something was wrong. I simply laughed and said "It's funny how much I had to change to figure out I was enough all along" she stared at me quizzically and I was just happy to be alive.
‌I recalled that day I thought to myself that she deserved someone better, I couldn't see her with anyone else so I became someone better .
