Falling in Love

Got an sms last night, asking, 'How do you know when you fall in love?' My reply was:

'When you can't wait to see her/him, or when you are on the phone and you don't want to say your goodbyes, and when her/his image comes to mind, it leaves a smile on your face...'

I recalled those times and a heartwarming sensation came all over me. :) The following memories came to mind;

Memory 1
'Ok. Goodnight. We'll have to get up early the next day for college. Bye.' I said.
'Ok. Goodnight..' Pause.. Both are still holding on to the phone.
'Bye. Why're you not putting down the phone?' I asked, smiling to myself.
'Why didn't you put down?' he said.
'We'll count to 3...1, 2, 3..' I replied cheekily. Both of us still refusing to hang up.
'Ok. Goodnight. Sweet dreams and don't let the bed bugs bite.' he said, and my heart melted.
'Ok. Goodnight.' We finally hang up.
This sweet memory is treasured, after so many years. I wonder if he still remembers? We never went on a steady relationship but remained in a platonic relationship.

Memory 2
The song 'First Love' by Utada Hikaru reminded me of his face. He was the first to introduce me to such a melodious sweet song. Even though, I may not understand the lyrics but I sense the deep love feeling. :) This song suddenly reminds me of the time we spent together, he made my favourite, ice cream, he cooked and invited me over to his place for a great asian dinner. We talked on the phone for hours, never loss with words. We became great companions, probably the beginning of a relationship but one which never blossomed.

These would remain as memories. Even though a love relationship was not weaved, nevertheless they managed to leave a sweet 'love story' in my heart. :)
