ever since i could remember, mel and allan have been in love.
when the first met, the longing was evident in their eyes.
whenever mel laughed, allan would watch her with such care in his eyes,
and when allan smiled, mel sighed as if in a trance.
she thought he would never ask her out.
she asked him instead.
it took her two years, two.
she wanted it to be perfect.
together, they are inseparable.
she tells me that she still gets butterflies when she is with him.
he tells me that everyday moment with her is like he is meeting her all over again.
they surprise each other with gifts every once in a while,
and go on spontaneous dates.
you would think they were middle schoolers by the way they fawned over each other,
not thirty year olds that are living together and have jobs.
but it is mel and allan,
seems as though it always has been,
like it was predestined.
and it seems like it always will be,
like the lines in the palms of their hands.
