Now playing: Ed Sheeran - Give Me Love

My eyes slowly opened, and they saw Ed Sheeran, looking at me too, while holding his guitar. His smile almost killed me, glad I' was still alive.

"Good Morning my Eddie! I love you!" I shouted, the roosters outside joined me.

"Hey! You are talking to your posters again! Have a breakfast first." I heard my mom call.

I waited almost 5 years for this big day. My nerves couldn't wait, I had a sleepless night. I dashed downstairs and saw my mom prepare sandwiches. She let me sit and greeted me a good morning. She knows I am very excited. And yes, it was a good morning.

"When did you say your friend will arrive?"

"30 minutes from now. I am very excited mom!" I said happily after I devoured my sandwich.

I remembered the first time I heard Ed Sheeran sing, he already captured my heart. I also admired his tattoos, ginger hair, and simply how he was. He's with me when all the joy in the world had gone out, when I was alone, when my boyfriend broke up with me, or when I needed to celebrate. In short, he's with me all the time. My friends and schoolmates knew how crazy I was when we talked about Ed.

Since then, I always wanted to have the chance to meet him in person and tell all the things I desired to tell him.

Now was that day.

I slipped out of my daydreams when my friend arrived. I greedily bit and swallowed my breakfast. I grabbed the towel and rushed inside the bathroom. I knew she's patient enough to wait for me, and I knew that we're both excited.

We were now in the fan signing event. My mom let me to drive the car since I'd already got my license last month. There were a lot of sheerios waiting, and a huge, deafening shout exploded when Ed finally arrived. I couldn't help myself but to scream too, waving my banner that said:

"Marry me Ed Sheeran!"

After the screams, shouts and cheers, the fans seemed to calm but I didn't. My friend beside me was still shouting but stopped when she got tired. We fell in line, each holding magazines and albums, including x. I tried to tiptoe, to look to the left, to right, through just to see any sign of Ed but I failed. We waited for almost one and a half hour but we never thought of giving up.

This was the only chance.

I hoped Ed wouldn't get tired of writing his signature - he must sign mine. Few moments later, there he was, I could already see his ginger hair. His smile was sparkling, I wonder if the person in front of him was still alive. My friend screamed when Ed was only three people away from us. I was also carried away.

I took out my phone, and approached him. As I went nearer, my heart starts to beat so loudly and hard it might come out of my ribcage. His presence was wonderful. I could hardly breathe, I was stunned. It was like someone has taken my power of speech - it was probably Ed. I tried to talk.

"Hi!" I breathed hard, still nervous.

"Hello there." Ed said, reaching my hand.

I thought it was my hand he was trying to hold - it was awkward. I gave him the albums and he signed them. I ask for a selfie and became very happy because he agreed. He got my phone and clicked the shutter 3 times. I, then, hugged him tightly. He smelled really good, I'd never forget this; me, a simple fan girl, able to hug her ultimate idol.

I'm going to die.

After this historical event, we decided to go home. My friend was still crying. She couldn't believe he already had met Ed.

"I am so very happy! If you could just know how I feel." She said.

"I know right!" I told her.

I drove happily, singing Ed Sheeran's "Sing" loudly. But, it was interrupted by something. There's a truck. Suddenly.

I wanted to tell my mom how it felt, meeting my love. I wanted to share my friends how Ed looked like in person. I'd looked forward to seeing him again, hoping to hear his next albums.

But I will never have the chance again.
