A short story about the imperfections of love and its consequences.
It starts with that simple look in the eye, and then before you know it, you both enter the phase of “infatuation.” You start to believe that you are truly in love, but it’s not until you both realise that maybe, just maybe, you are not “made” for each other. A few hours later, of course after that argument you had last night, he phones you, and asks for forgiveness. Well, you are not about to let it go that easy- are you?
He tells you that he loves you, and he confronts you of his guilt. In your mind, you have the urge to forgive his mistakes, but deep in your heart, is where all the complications alter your decision. That man standing outside your door-step, asking you for your forgiveness, of course has realised the mistakes that he has made. He is willing to risk a smack on the face, but the truth is, he is not willing to risk losing you. Meanwhile, you are thinking of what to tell him. The blood rushing through your veins warms up your body, you feel heated, you feel loved, and you are crazed about this person. You decide to forgive him. You decide to give him another chance. You decide to absolve, because you can tolerate being loved.
Are you in love? You could be. This question wonders your mind, only to reach a corner where it will soon be answered. That feeling, indeed, is love. So now that you are certain, you decide to tell this beloved one; that you can not go a day without them, and that you appreciate every moment you have spent together. You want to tell them they mean the world to you. So now; curiosity penetrates your mind, as you are destined to succeed your mission. You want to tell them you love them, but you do not know how. You do not know what their response will be. Will they hate you? Will they ignore you? Could they leave you, and decide to be friends? Or maybe they will do, just what it is you are hoping for… maybe, just maybe, they will love you too.
However, you are on your way to deliver your message of love. You are ready to face the outcome. But you are not set to lose him; you are determined to win over his heart! As you approach his door-step, a certain “premonition” strikes your mind. A premonition you had weeks ago, about finding the “other woman” in your lovers home. You pay no attention to it, and you ring the door bell. Yes, he opens the door, but NO, that specific other, is not standing aside him. You enter his home, but as you reach to embrace him, you recognize a definite scent. Here is where all the drama begins.
You stumble in your own words, to try and create a clear image, of what could be a “misunderstanding.” You want to believe that there is no other woman. He promised you there was no other, and he said there will never be another. As you look into his eyes, and wonder why, he stares into your eyes and wonders: “why in the world did she have to pass by today?” Taking a moment to think, you say the three deadly words: “I-LOVE-YOU!” Frustration and confusion is felt throughout the room. He is getting nervous, and scared. He is lost! Suddenly he murmurs, “I don’t feel the same, baby. It is not you, it’s me.”
Your man has cheated! He has denied the love you have given him, and he has bruised your heart, with a permanent scar. You vow that from this day onwards, you are through with love. But… it’s not all that easy, to deny love.
