"Love arrives exactly when love is supposed to"
"And love leaves exactly when love must."
"When love arrives, say, "Welcome. Make yourself comfortable.""
"If love leaves, ask her to leave the door open behind her."
"Turn off the music, listen to the quiet, whisper,"Thank you for stopping by.""
I recite my favorite poem from Mary Kay to her... while she sleeps.
I kissed her hands once more. "My queen, forgive me."
Her hand moved to caress my hair.
I was surprised, she looked at me with tears in her eyes, but with a painful smile in her face.
"What happened to your face?" She asked worried.
"You lost weight. You have dark circles under your eyes." She said. She touched my face softly.
"My queen..." I stood up, and embraced her. I could not believe she does not hate me, after what happened.
How can she not hate me...
"I may have totally lost my mind this time." She said.
"My imagination is playing with me again." She whispered.
"I dont want to wake up anymore." She said.
I realised what she was saying, and immediately look straight to her eyes.
"Im real, my queen. This isn't a dream" I told her.
She held my face and said, "Are you real this time?"
I nod. Her tears started to fall.
She embraced me, like she always did.
"You came back for me." She whispered.
"Im sorry."
"Your real right, please dont disappear." She said. It breaks my heart for hearing how she begs to trade her sanity to be with me.
She's my angel. Only an angel like her can love someone like me.
"I did not want to hurt you... it was"
"King, stop." She said.
"How can you forgive me, after what I did"
"I dont know." She said.
"But, what I know is that I love you, and you're here with me. And that is all that matters to me." She said.
I kissed her hand again and again.
She smiled.
"I want to meet your parents..."
"'I'd like that as well" she said.
I can see the fear in her eyes, when I told her I want to meet her parents...
But, if we are both serious about this. Nobody can stop us.
Aya's perspective
I could not believe what my eyes is seeing, its my King. I try to comprehend whether this is one of my dreams again.
He looks different, he lost weight, and he looks as if he hadn't had much sleep as well. But... God. How can anyone look this good, even when he looked tired. Not fair.
My imagination did not give him justice as well. His beautiful hazel brown eyes stare at me, it looked sad.
I caress his hair, it was soft.
I saw him pout, he never liked anyone touching his hair. Too vain.
I smiled. Oh my vain King.
As I realize he was not a dream, everything I felt before came back, that includes the pain I felt the night when he turned his back at me.
I could still remember how painful it was. I could feel my heart skip a bit again. It aches.
But. So as my love.
It maybe stupid to say this.
But I felt my love for him, and it was the greatest feeling above all.
After knowing what it feels like losing him, I could not even bare the idea to let him go.
Not ever. Not even when he wants to.
I have never been selfish all my life, until he came to my life.
My brothers will not approve of him, they'll never do. I have low hope for mom and dad's approval.
But, nobody can stop us.
I smiled at him. Everything will be fine.
As long as he's with me, I know everything will be fine.
