In Love

To be or not to be? So said Shakespeare she thought. Would it be okay? Would it be a mistake? Was that a compliment? Or just a bland observation? Is he just flirting? Or is he actually concerned? Was that a touch knowing or unknowing? Does he find me attractive? Maybe he didn’t even notice the new earrings! Am I in love? Or this just a phase in this pathetic routine I call life? Miserable as she was haunted by thoughts that would disturb the mighty Lord himself, she put on a nonchalant air about her, confidently joining him as they made their way towards their favorite spot in the sleepy little town.
The sun had already risen but the misty morning air refused to wake up the surroundings. Dawn had just set in and he seemed busy contemplating the flora n fauna than anything to do with her.
Splendid nature awaited her praises but she only waited for his attention. As they sat beside each other in that picturesque setting excruciating minutes passed with nil conversation. Finally she threw caution to the winds and rested her aching head on his inviting shoulders and closed her eyes savoring the moment of bliss.
But to her astonishment and wonder his right arm enclosed her tiny frame in an awkward but sure motion. In that second the universe stopped as realization hit. They were in love…… :)
