the meeting

     They met once again. After all these years he hoped for this meeting. He knows that she still holds that very special place in his heart, he is sure of that. Yes, there were others. But his feelings for her did not change in spite of what happened between them. He still hopes for the day to come when she returns his feelings, his love for her. He has prayed for it many times.

     She looks at him. She now thinks of what could have been. She knows that she hurt him but she just cannot turn back the time and change what took place then. She still sees the love in his eyes, the feelings, the affection. How could she not saw it before. Or maybe she did.

     He missed her. And it made him happy when she agreed to meet him, to spend time with him. But now that she is in front of him, he just can't seem to find the right words. He just doesn't know what to say or where to start. Remembering everything from the past, how they met, how he pursued her, how she rejected him…..the pain just never goes away. And now, doesn't know what to expect.

     She waited for this moment. The moment when she will be able to tell him what she really felt, that she cared, that she missed him. But how will she start? She doesn't know what to do, what to tell him. She wants to tell him that he holds a special place in his heart, that she still keeps with her the precious moments they shared.

         The night went by. They dined and chatted about things in their lives. They reminisced. But no one spoke about their feelings for each other…..no one opened up. Until the time came that they needed to part ways. They said their goodbyes and went on their separate ways.

     Two people in love. Two people feeling the same thing. Two people who waited for the right time. They let the moment go. Never turning back.  What a waste!
