You Are Brilliant

The lights were hot on my skin and bright in my eyes, and the sound of the crowd’s cheers was almost refreshing. The moment slowed as I looked into his eyes. When they met, I felt comfortable, and as the song broke out into the bridge, I felt myself break out of this shell I was in. There was no more fear, no more doubts, I could finally feel free to do what I love the most. Confidence booming, I walk over to him, breaking out in the chorus, singing my heart out. As I pour all my emotions to let go of all the pain, I have this sudden flash. I see our life together. I see us thriving and touring with the band together. I see…love. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m in love. What should I do? Should I tell him? Or should I tell him? Well, I’m not sure what I should do, but all I know is our foreheads are touching, and I can feel the fire on his body. The passion, I can tell that we share the same love for this hobby. The love for us, does he really love me back? My mind starts racing as I am freaking out about what to tell him, I love this boy with all my heart. The end of the song hits, I look into his eyes and softly say, “I love you..” I smile, and my cheeks go red. Did I really just say that? I did, and now right in front of me…he says it back? We walk away from each other when the song finishes, and I’m breathless. Speechless. Before I even know it, he pulls me by the waist and brings my body close to his. When our bodies meet, our eyes make contact as well. He starts to speak, and from shock, his voice is muffled.

“You are brilliant.”
