ARRANGED LOVE OF THE SURVIVOR AND SAVIOR
"Loving her selflessly even when I knew she won't be able to love me the same way back, was the best decision. Ever."
They’re both convinced that a sudden passion joined them. Such certainty is beautiful, but uncertainty is more beautiful still.
Since they’d never met before, they’re sure that there’d been nothing between them. But what’s the word from the streets, staircases, hallways..Perhaps they’ve passed by each other a million times?
I want to ask them if they don’t remember—a moment face to face in some revolving door? Perhaps a “sorry” muttered in a crowd? A curt “wrong number” caught in the receiver?—but I know the answer.
No, they don’t remember.
They’d be amazed to hear that chance has been toying with them now for years.
Not quite ready yet to become their destiny it pushed them close, drove them apart, it barred their path, stifling a laugh, and then leaped aside.
There were signs and signals, even if they couldn’t read them yet. Perhaps a few years ago or just last Tuesday a certain leaf fluttered from one shoulder to another?
Something was dropped and then picked up. Who knows, maybe the ball that vanished into childhood’s thicket?
There were doorknobs and doorbellswhere one touch had covered anotherbeforehand. Suitcases checked and standing side by side.
One night, perhaps, the same dream,grown hazy by morning.
And today they are starting a new spring, the cherry blossoms blooming in their lives signifying love, prosperity, strength and growth and yet they are unaware of what destiny has for them.
The promise to protect each other and fight for each other yet they are unaware of the games of life.
With a hope to find love their love found them hope. A hope to believe , to fight , to protect and to love.
But the flower that gives the most fragrance also has the most thorns.
Every beginning is only a sequel, after all, and the book of events is always open halfway through.
