swansong It is this strange stirring inside you. Sometimes you see him and then you don't find anything peculiar or special about him because everyone is directing you to another person. But then as you regain your composure and take a deep breath and look over your shoulder, he is there talking to his female friends and you just feel your heart drop into the deep abyss. You feel like getting close to him and taking in his smell and his warmth and you feel like giving him a hug and never let go. Kiss him gently on his lips and murmur your love and adoration for him and see his mouth turning into a smile. Feel him kiss you back and feel all the adrenaline and flushed cheeks. Even the clouds seem to stop moving in the wind's direction. His strong arms hugging you tightly to him and resting comfortably on your waist. Your forehead resting on his chest as you hear his heartbeat steadily. He kisses you gently and softly on your head, while caressing your hair and cheeks, blows kisses to you. But then, you know this is never going to come true. You can fantasise and imagine this moment tens and thousand times over with your pillow or bolster or whatever but you know the rehearsals will go on and on but the actual staging never happens. Because the male lead is not here. The makeup and hair and clothes may already have been done eons ago, and there you are sitting pretty for it all to happen but well, nope. He talks ot you and jokes with you as a friend but deep inside you yearn for so much more. You don't ever want to be just friends. But he never gets the point and he never looks past your eyes and deeper inside. Perhaps its the glasses that blocks away the love you have for him that he never notices. You daren't tell him because you know he already likes someone. You don't want to spoil this friendship and make it awkward for everyone else. So all this agony of trying to get him to notice your existence is tearing you apart,and you decide to let it go. Just back out slowly but subtly. Let him know that you will always be there somewhere but you will always wish him the best in his life and everything he does. Pathetic love story that spells the end of a one-sided love? Perhaps. |
