There is Rhyme and Reason

So I met someone who captured my interest. Attractive and smart. Friendly, too.

It was the first time after a long while that I was glued to where I was. Wanting to savour the opportunity of spending time getting to know this guy. I remember actually talking to myself as I tried to settle on a decision. I knew I had to leave real soon but I so wanted to stay and see where it'll go.

But he's off limits.

Twas only later on that I had pieced things together. A friend saw him first and had already told me about him. And that's that.

It was great meeting him though. Looking back, things made sense. It's true. Everything happens for a reason.

Strength

"I'm walking away." I said. "I'm walking away because I don't know how to respond to what you've just said. It came suddenly --- perhaps too late. I don't know. I guess that's why I need to walk away. I need to figure it out."

Missing

I saw you.

I paused.

I looked --- and, I mean, really looked.

Memories so sweet and warm started to trickle in.

I then knew it's time.

Move on to the next photo, please.

But it doesn't change one fact.

I miss you.

And I blame that darn cupid.

Makes me want to swear off Valentine's for good. Pah.

One Crush, Two Crush

Been a while since I smiled like this. Been a while since I melted in a pair of eyes. Been a while since I thought of you. Been a while since I blushed like a schoolgirl.

These trips to Australia ushers in a multitude of coincidences. I can only laugh at the silliness. But, one thing's for sure, it certainly makes my so-called love life a whole lot more interestingly colourful.

Re-runs and predictable tactics. It feels like all I need to do is sit back and simply watch everything unfold.

Lightness

Do you really have to rely on candlelit dinners to achieve romance?



Lightness.

It wouldn't have been the same, otherwise.
