MY FAIRY TALE

THIS POST IS EXTREMELY GIRLIE........MACHO READERS ARE FOREWARNED
It was a cool autumn night. The party had just begun. All the men were in their full dress uniforms and the women were in their glittering best. I felt lost amongst them dressed in poofy pink silk. And across the room I saw you. A stranger from a strange land. There you were standing in your impeccable blue suit casually combing the hair off your forehead when you looked straight at me. Your sparkling blue eyes took my breath away. Your gaze never left mine and the whole world was forgotten. We made silly excuses to avoid others as we made our way towards each other. Our conversations were so inconsequential yet nothing could have been more delightful. Under the starry sky, we laughed and talked and time was completely forgotten. But midnight was close by and like Cinderella I had to rush home. We both knew our lovely time together had at last come to an end. It was time for goodbye. You hoped that someday again our paths may cross but we both knew it might never happen. I walked away, climbing one stair at a time while you stood at the foot. I could feel your gaze upon me but I didn’t look back. Then when I reached the exit, I looked back. You stood there with a melancholic look in your eyes and a wistful smile on your lips. I turned and left. We never said goodbye. Maybe we’ll meet someday again for we do owe each other a goodbye. Until then, stranger from a strange land.
