?? ? From 24 [HAPPY 490K]

I know how hard it was for you
I know how much you've been hurting
The day when your heart feels like breaking
I'll be by your side
No matter how many people don't listen to you
No matter who you can't open up to
When it feels like there's no one by your side
I will be there with you

When you feel fear that comes like waves
I'll hold your hand
Even after a tiring day and a restless night
I will love you

I'll be there when you're at your lowest point
In the dark and lonely cave, your feelings
Are like a restless night, when you feel alone
You can lean on me and cry

When you feel fear that comes like waves
I'll hold your hand
Even after a tiring day and a restless night
I will love you
Forget the darkness where you wandered endlessly
Everything is fine now
Even after a tiring day and a restless night
I will love you

The song ended beautifully, as another tear escaped from my eyes.

the lyrics were perfect.

he realized that I was crying again, as he was flabbergasted, "did this song makes you sad again? gosh, I'm sorry--"

"no, this song was too good, thank you so much," I smiled at him whilst giving back the earpods as he spoke. "It's my friend's favorite song, it calms me a lot when I missed him,"

I looked at him.

don't tell me--

"ah, he passed away two years ago because of leukemia,"

"I'm s-sorry," I said to him.

"It's fine, I was the one who wants to tell you," he plastered a smile on his lips, and suddenly shoved his hand to me.

" I'm Eric, and you?"

I broke into a smile, shaking my hand with his.

"I'm y/n,"

"It was nice to meet you y/n,"

I never thought an unexpected meeting with a stranger would be this nice to me.

Since the day I met Eric, I never thought we would be this close--

we both kept bumping into each other at the park, as we both started changing our phones' numbers.

meeting him kept making my day happier--

hence, I felt that my feelings towards my ex-boyfriend faded away.

Eric was too good to be an ordinary person.

he kept listening to all of my problems-- as I realized that my ex never did that to me.

he gave me all of his attention when I talked to him-- and I realized my ex was always busy when I wanted to talk to him.

Eric is too perfect to be true.

Ding!

a sudden message woke me up from a daydream as I looked at my phone to see an unknown number was messaging me.

y/n
we need to talk
please I can explain this.

it's him.

my ex-boyfriend.

I thought I already blocked him.

then, another message popped as I could see Eric's messages.

hey, what's up?
