something i wrote in the darkness of the night..a stroke of inspiration struck and my pen scraped hastily against the paper in fear that the words might fade too fasst.
mesmerized
how many times have you came across someone and stopped to stare. the charisma, the look, the attitude leaving you breathless and gasping for more.
a sudden desire grabs you, awakening your curiousity, leaving you with the inate need to find out more, to know that person, the object of awe and mystery and all that lies beneath.
the increased heartbeat and quickened puffs of breath as your hands get clamy and cold and butterflies flutter in your tummy.
you somehow manage to gather enough courage to walk over and say 'hi'. rehearsing that perfect speech in your mind...
"you take my breath away"
"hey, wanna be mine?"
"wassssuP"
"err...hello...can we be friends?"
you approach, as your knees go weak and beads of perspiration start to flow...your mouth all of a sudden dry, dummied up almost as if it had a mind of its own. tongue-tied, you let out a nervous and unexpected cackle.
she turns towards you with a questioning gaze and a wry smile. you stand mesmirised, hoping you don't look half as stupid as you feel.
'yes....?"
her soft, melodious voice reaches your ears like the sound of music, jolting life back into you like bolts of electricity flowing through your veins.
the smile on her face, angelic and innocent is a sight you know you'll never forget.
you clear your throat and muster whatever remaining strength you have left.
in that instant, deciding that honesty is the best policy, you open your mouth.
"hi, i'm sorry if i was staring, but you're the prettiest sight i've ever saw, and to be honest, you just took my breath away. would you be willing to befriend me?"
you pause.
breathless.
having sprouted it all out.
your heart seems to be beating furiously and yet not at all. you hold your breath in fear and nervous anticipation as time is put on hold. you experience the longest 10 secs of your life...
she looks at you thoughtfully, digesting your burst of words with a slight furrowing of her eyebrows. then she slowly fixes her gaze onto your face as her face lights up first her eyes and her face.
"thank you for the compliment. the pleasure's all mine."
you stand dumbfounded. speechless...blood flows once again, adrenaline rushing through your veins as a grin captures your face with a smile so wide like a cheshire cat.
hand outstretched...."that's great! i'm...."
.......a friend has been made
happY new year everyone!!
