It's A Great Life To Live

This is my story.

I once had an enemy. We really couldn't see each other. I couldn't stand him, not a bit. And I really hated him so much, no words could describe my hatred towards him. Nobody knows about this enemy of mine. Not even my bestfriends. Nor my family.

So last night, I asked him out to dinner, I didn't know why I asked. Not to a fancy restaurant though, just at some food stall near my house. He arrived on time, picking me up at my house. Both of us were quiet all the way to the food stall. Once we were there, we sat at a table and waited for the waiter to come and take our orders.

Orders taken and now we just sat there looking at each other - didn't know what to say.

And then everything happened. We just started talking and we couldn't stop talking. He laughed and I laughed. We talked about everything under the sun. Well, actually not really. When I think of it, we more or less talked about me, myself and I. I didn't mean to be selfish or anything, but he kept on asking about me. Whenever I asked anything about him, he had his way of maneuvering the topic that it ended up revolving around me. This happened quite a number of time that I surrendered and stopped trying to ask about himself and started to talk about me. Well, it was what he wanted, wasn't it?

After talking to him for some time, it dawned on me that he wasn't someone that I thought he was. He's kind, selfless - never thought of himself, funny and I could say that I'm beginning to fall in love with him. Isn't it funny how a moment could just change your feelings. He touched my heart and that had changed everything that I felt for him before. I still have feelings for him, but now they are different kinds of feelings - totally opposite.

I never thought that I would change this drastically for someone I really hated. Now I feel as if I want to be with him forever.
