It was a clear night where all the stars up in the sky were at their brightest, boasting their splendor and elegance. The light emanating from the moonlit sky paired with the candle on the table sparks and atmosphere of romance and passion where a heart can be fueled to commit unspeakable feats. The night was deafeningly quiet except for the plans and promises exchanged by two lovers, with a bottle of red and a chunk of cheese to seal the deal.
There I sat, with a glass of wine on one hand and my love's hand on the other; contented to live this life for as long as I stay in this world. As sparks flew and chemistry rose to uncontrollable proportions, I was filled with bravery that shamed all the great loves of history. I got up, got down on one knee and got down to business; with utter eloquence and courage, I proposed my undying, unending and unyielding love.
YES?
Shattered the momentary silence...
YES!
Lifted my spirits up to the heavens and I didn't want to go back to earth...
YES.
Was the answer which made all the beads of sweat on my forehead worthwhile...
ALAS! That love fled as quickly as it came into my life; like an ice cube on a hotplate it melted away and soon evaporated. We parted ways and now that love has found a good home in someone else' heart. What about me you ask? Here, waiting for another love that would come my way thinking if I am really meant for another round at love.
Am I really doomed to live a life of solitude where love abounds around me in the hearts of the people I hold dear, while I sit on the sidelines looking from the outside in? I have had my fair share of hook ups and break ups; oddly, they all too have moved on to greener pastures, leaving me as a stepping stone to a better relationship. Some married the ones that came after me, some are on their way there. Can my heart take more of this torment of loving and leaving? I dare not answer. But this is what I'm sure of, YOU ARE WORTH THE WAIT. Where ever you are, I'll be here waiting until we can have the perfect time for our perfect love.
