Cupid & Psyche

Cupid & Psyche: Chapter Forty-Six

Chapter Forty-Six

‘I love you, my world.’ he said and then everyone clapped.

My mom pulled me up but I was a mess already with all the goo-goo eyes and the destroyed make-up. I don’t want to go up stage and then sobbed when I can no longer take it.

But then I thought that this is for Cupid so I went up stairs and then I faced the crowd.

‘I’m sorry I’m such a mess.’ I laughed at myself. I know Cupid was just at the far side, standing beside a tree. What? Why is he hiding there?

I wanted to call his attention and tell him to listen but maybe then its better that way. The more I see the more I was guessing that I’m gonna cry while doing this.

‘How fast time flies… it seems like yesterday I was walking along the corridors of our school and waiting for something wonderful to happen… and then he came along. Cupid—‘

I paused and I saw him went out of the darkness of the tree like some vampire or something. But then instead of crying I smiled at him.

‘Cupid was someone I never expected to come in my life. For me still it will be a mystery of how he ever came to me. I was like this ordinary girl trying to get his attention.’ I laughed awkwardly. ‘Who would have thought that by being just me, someone like him would fall for me?

‘He was someone I thought I would never have but then he’s still here now… he’s mine…’ I smiled again to cover my tears. ‘Then after all that had happened to us I suddenly thought of this: he helped me forget about my boring story and yet he started a happy one.’

I took a deep breath. ‘This song is for you, Lover boy.’ Everyone laughed at the nickname. ‘Oh, and by the way. Before you leave I want to remind you that once I hear you exchange me with a British Chick you’re dead.’

Everyone laughed again and so did he.

Of course I changed the song that I was about to sing to him. After everything the band started playing and I looked at him as I started my simple song.

Who would’ve thought this is how the pieces fit

You and I shouldn’t even try making sense of it

I looked at him as he looks at me.

I forgot how we ever came this far

I believe we have reasons but we don’t know where they are

So blame it on my heart

 

Love moves in mysterious ways

It’s always so surprising how love appears over the horizon

I love you for the rest of my days

That’s true, just like the one that I’ve promised…

 

But still it’s a mystery of how you ever came to me

Which only proves

Love moves in mysterious ways

 

I don’t know until when I can hold on to this and yet I know…

Heaven knows love is just a chance we take

We make plans but then love demeans the link of faith
