All I ever wanted was for one of my stories to come true, but you're not here anymore are you?

———

It's been almost a year since you left me standing in the airport terminal with nothing more than a goodbye. If I would have known your flight would crash halfway across the ocean, I would have gone with you. We could have been castaways together. The worst part is I never even got to say, "I love you." And that's my biggest regret; a regret that now swims the ocean endlessly in search of you.

I still remember our senior prom and I wish I could tell you it was the best night of my life. You were the first girl I didn't have to try and impress because for some reason you already saw me as something special. You would always tell me, "It's not your good qualities that drew me to, it's all of your flaws." I had learned to love each and every one of my imperfections and so had she. She even thought they made me beautiful. If only she knew how beautiful she is. I remember how I was so nervous to dance with her so she pulled me even closer to her body. That was when I knew I loved her.

———

Some days I wonder if we were meant to be or for once in my life luck was on my side. Either way, I wouldn't trade you for the world. Besides, you are my world.
short little stories i wrote. may or may not contain truth.

comments always appreciated. if you fave, please take a moment to tell me what you liked about it.

if you don't like it, please be blunt. i am only trying to get better.

these words are my heart. a heart which is trying to find its way.

I like the idea of his regret swimming in the ocean looking for the girl, and I like what you're trying to say with the third section, but the change of pronouns (you to she) sort of breaks the spell. Also, the line "If only she knew how beautiful she is" is bothering me for some reason, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
