Song title: Greatest Love of All by Whitney Houston

"Gamora and Nebula was talking about you. There's no other human." He said.

I stood still. What? I'm the mysterious girl? I'm the one who stole Thanos's heart? The great and almighty Thanos? Me? Me and Thanos? I mean, I do think he looks good and uhm, uhm, uhm, uhm. He's nice and a real gentleman and I know he liked someone because I could see.

Thanos likes me? Wait, that can't be right. We only just met. He's making fun of me. This is a joke. What kind of sick joke is this?

"Funny, very funny." I said to him. I could feel my energy being drained inside my body. Why am I feeling disappointed?

"Let's go." I forced a smile on him when I looked at him. He hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should open a portal or not. I don't get it why he's hesitating. What's there to hesitate?

He then come to a conclusion to open the portal that leaves us back to the planet names Titan.

The portal lead to his room and so I left the room quickly. I find myself towards the hall to the right. And ran.

After a few minutes of running around, turning left and right and left then right again and again and again. I found myself lost.

I'll just walk. I looked around saw a small door at far left corner of the hall. It doesn't really looks like a small door from afar. I started to walk closer to it and even when you're close, it doesn't looks like a door but just like a wall.

I turned the knob and opened it. It was a small room with a view. It wasn't really small, it was just a little smaller than my room back on earth. It's a good enough room for a human. If I compare this room to Thanos's room then it's incredibly little.

I'll just go inside. It's a comfortable place. There's a bed and table that's good enough for one person. I wonder who did this.

I sat on the bed. The space is good.

"The bed is comfy. It's like it's made just for me." I said to myself. I closed my mouth and heard what I said. This room has a good echo. I wonder if I sing, the sound will be good.

"I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside. Give them a sense of pride to make it easier." Huh, this is good. I'm currently the room if this is a good spot for singing.

"Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be. Everybody searching for a hero. People need someone to look up to. I never found anyone who fulfill my needs. A lonely place to be. And so I learned to depend on me." I continued.

" I decided long ago! Never to walk in anyone's shadows. If I fail, if I succeed. At least I'll live as I believe. No matter what they take from me. They can't take away my dignity!" Oh here comes the chorus.

"Because the greatest love of all is happening to me~. I found the greatest love of all inside of me. The greatest love of all is easy to achieve. Learning to love yourself, it is the greatest love of all."  Why does this song is so good?

"I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside. Give them a sense of pride to make it easier. Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be." I'm staring to feel it and my voice getting louder.

"I decided long ago. Never to walk in anyone's shadows. If I fail, if I succeed at least I'll live as I believe. No matter what they take from me, they can't take away my dignity. Because the greatest love of all is happening to me. I found the greatest love of all inside of me." My voice is louder and clearer.

"The greatest love of all is easy to achieve. Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all." I started to tone it down but I still kept singing. I don't care if people hear me, this place is perfect for singing.

"And if, by chance, that special place that you've been dreaming of leads you to a lonely place. Find your strength in love." I finished the song and I have never felt better. I guess I'll come here from time to time.

"That felt really good. I sing from time to time but I have never felt that good from singing. Hmm, maybe because this space is good." I talked to myself. Is talking to myself? Of course not, I have been talking to myself for years. Why would I think about it now if it's weird.

Jus then, someone opened the small door and I saw Gamora get inside. I was surprised but only for a moment. 

"Gamora, uhm, hi." I greeted her and she only nodded in response. I couldn't help but only look at her to she what she is going to do or say something.

"Thanos is waiting outside. He knows you are here." She said. I did think about that. He will always know where I am, he is the great and almighty Thanos. Why did I even ran away from him? Sooner or later, he'll come and find me. Somehow, he always do.

"I know I ran but I don't know why I did that." I started talking to Gamora and looked down at the floor. 

"I get that love at first sight is still a thing but I would never have guessed that you will come to fond my own father. I'm even older than you." She said. That didn't really help me at all. Love at first sight? I have to admit that there are dreams that I have seen him. I didn't really paid attention to it but now that I remembered, the purple man in my dreams resembles Thanos a lot. 

"I wouldn't really call it love at first sight." I started talking about it. It's better to tell her. I feel comfortable telling her, I know that she won't judge me.

"I had dreams back on earth. For, I think almost three years. There was this man, a really huge man that from afar, I could never see his face but he had lavender skin. His hands touched my face most of the times in my dreams and it was big. Bigger than my face." I told Gamora all about my dreams.

"Now that I think about it, that man resembles Thanos a lot. Like a lot, a lot. So I guess, I wouldn't call it love at first sight. I think, uhm, I've been in love with him for almost 3 years now. Is that why I felt dissapointed when I heard about this girl that he likes when you and Ebony teased him about?" I started to ask. 

"My chest felt heavy when I heard that he already has someone but now Thanos said when were in my room back on earth that I'm that girl. I thought of it as joke but even if it was a joke, I wished that it was true. I only met him but why do I feel this way?" My eyes are starting to be filled with tears, I brushed away them with my right hand. I couldn't help but let my tears fall down my face.

"He's waiting outside like he cares for me but I don't if he really does care for me. I hate feeling like this." Ah, I'm tired. I'm not sure if I should ever like a person ever again. So this is what it feels like to have feelings for someone.

I'm so tired.
