When
I woke up today eager to watch Superman, I had no idea that our paths were
meant to cross. I had already gotten the tickets and was waiting for my friend
to arrive when I saw you. Well actually I saw your friend with the red jacket
before. You were kind of hidden behind her.
Have
you ever felt like your heart is smiling?
There is this sudden feeling of warmth inside you that permeates through
your being and ends with an outward smile. It’s the kind of smile that makes
you look stupid to the people around you because they don’t know what’s just
happened. Well, that happened to me today, when I saw you.
I
wanted to come up and talk you, but I couldn’t. I know I should have, but you
were with your friends and I think it’s always weird for girl if a guy she
doesn’t know just walks up to her tries to start a conversation, right?
Especially outside a movie theater! Or maybe I just chickened out. I hoped
going into the theatre that you were watching the same movie and you were! So I
thought I’d strike up a conversation in the break. Yet again, I only saw your
friend come out. The movie ended and I thought I had lost my chance, but I
found you again. You were sitting in the second row from the screen, right next
to the exit. And I thought I would talk to you then. But what would I say?! How
would I begin?! Should I have twirled my mustache?!?! Well my panic was
rendered pointless because by the time I reached where you were you had
disappeared again. I did try to rush out to catch where you were going, but alas,
I could not find you again.
Moments like these happen few and far between, when a
complete stranger leaves you feeling like the clouds have parted and the sun is
shining through, like serendipity is not just a word or a movie but an
experience, like your patience in matters of the heart might actually have
borne fruit. Very rarely do see a complete stranger who instantly makes you
feel like you could belong.
I hope this finds you, I hope the clouds part for me
again….. :)
