Liza was five when she first saw Anthony.
The boy that Liza swore she would one day marry.
And though Anthony is six years senior and showed no interest in her,
Her young heart believes in the end its them that would be together.
Anthony, on the other hand, at first felt nothing for Liza.
Liza for him before is just a girl and that to him shell ever be.
He finds her cute but that would be all.
"She's so young."He thought.
She just can't be.
"She'll soon outgrow whatever she has for me."
But Liza was certain that whatever she had for Anthony is not a passing fancy.
Because now that she's ten years older she still long to see him each day.
Her heart still screams of his name each night.
Her tears were mostly for him,
And her thought fills of him all day.
But Anthony was old now and a lot of things had been eating his time.
Liza now rarely crossed his mind.
He had long forgotten the girl who used to pull his sleeve and told him she loved him.
And though from across the neighbourhood, he could see how beautifully she'd grown
But Liza was just so young for him.
"She still has so much to know."
But Liza had enough of her crappy life.
She swallowed all her pride and thought that she would die if another day passed Without Anthony knowing what she felt for him all this time
On the eve of her college graduation she gathered all her strength
And in the darkness confessed to him how she loves him so
That all her life she wished for nothing but be near him, have him and love him
"Anthony, tell me, what is it that I have to do for you to love me too?"
But Anthony was sad that Liza stoop that low.
He believes that everyone must respect themselves.
It was what Liza failed to show.
Though he is starting to like her
And his eyes showed him how she'd gone prettier each day.
But he was certain what Liza had for him was obsession and that he can't take.
"Liza, you have to grow." He touched her cheeks
"Love yourself Liza, that for me you have to do."
Those words crushed Liza's heart completely.
From that day onward she swore to only hate Anthony.
The rejection didn't do to her any good.
It crushed her.
Wounded her.
And still makes her cry at night.
She felt hopping from one boy to another is a way to get even
She was just too hurt to see
How Anthony weeps seeing her that way.
Anthony that only wished for her to realize,
That love is more to the sleepless nights, and endless scream of wanting the other near.
"Liza," he managed to write a letter to her before his wedding day.
"Love is more to what you thought it is. Love is letting the other grow and letting her explore what lies ahead. Its setting sails off. And Liza, it's what Im gonna do for you. It"s hard you know, but Im letting you go."
