Since When?

When we sat there on her bed, and the TV blared in the background, I looked into her blue eyes and asked her a question.

"How long have you liked me?" I asked.

"Since day one. Remember when our friend abandoned me and you stayed to comfort me?" she answered.

"I do; it was the day we became friends."

"That was the moment I knew I liked you. I'm happy we came this far."

(Based on a true story. I don't remember everything said, but I do remember the when and the feeling that exploded in my chest.)
