Part 1
And they looked into each other’s eyes and smiled.
A 1000 feelings in one moment.
A 1000 feelings for one person
They could no longer pretend.
Knowing someone for a short time but feeling like you have known them your whole life.
Even though their situation was complicated, they remembered that even after the worst storms, a rainbow may, must appear.
His big hands did not fit proportionally into her small hands, but aren’t we all different?
Besides, it is our differences that make us all unique.
He decided to put his pride aside, and she decided to put her ego aside.
A match made in heaven and written on the earth below their feet.
The imprints were all over their face, their radiance like the sun’s.
Yes, they quarrelled, but doesn’t everyone?
Life is a journey, and they appreciated that it is not only the good times that make life worthwhile, but everything in its entirety.
Nothing lasts forever, it is said. Yet they endeavoured to make the little time, the short time that they had besides each other’s presence count.
They smiled.
The thought of the past nor the future shook them.
They knew that it was the present that mattered. Only the present. Nothing but the present.
They looked into each other’s eyes. The flame was there. The flame was evident. Evident for all to see.
Everyone knows what happens to flames.
They burn up sometimes, and they burn down at times.
Fire is consuming or intoxicating, is the better word. Any of the two.
They knew what happened when people played with fire.
Just like love, fire has its benefits; it also has its consequences.
And they lived in the moment. There and then. Whether it be short or long, they worried not.
They looked into each other and smiled.
No person is perfect, and they decided to be nobody cause when nobody was around, they were somebody.
Diamonds are made by rough surfaces and pass through rough situations to come out shining.
Rough it may be at times.
But maybe it’s the situations that it passes through that make it worthwhile.
Imagine a world without friction?
Life is the great moments, life is the short moments.
They shone on. A flame that needed to be fueled to be kept alive.
