To someone I never should’ve met,
“Why are you such a hopeless romantic?” the words you
told me that day – the last time we met. They still ring in my ears, everytime
your face flashes in my eyes, which is almost always. After you’ve decided to
end things with me, I swore of never thinking of you again. And this made me
realize how true you were in telling me that I’m a weak schmuck who’s afraid to
look into the eyes of reality.
“This can’t be the end of it,” I repeat that even today,
but however, I’ve resolved to change this recurring nature of mine. These
letters are an effort towards the same and with the last letter, I hope to end
everything I have for you in my heart!
Being a hopeless romantic, I thought it would be in a
most special way that you’ll enter into my life – I still believe you were that
special one for me – nothing as such happened, though.
The first time I saw you standing near the coffee machine
in the office, when I strolled there for my evening dose of caffeine. The first
thing I noticed were your footwear and its striking line of small bells lined
across its length. You later told me that they were your mother’s sandals that
you really loved and to make it look trendy, you sewed those bells yourself. I
tried to look at your face, but your dense curly hair failed my every attempt I
made from different angles. I dropped the idea, as I already had enough disappointments
for the day.
A couple of days passed, before I heard those ‘chan chans’
– as you call them. I instantly turned to the sandals and smiled to myself. Then
I noticed you looking weirdly at me. I tried to smile at you, which you chose
to ignore and walk away!
I so wanted you to turn back then, and even today!!
From someone who never should’ve looked at you.
