Continued Silence

Twenty-four : nothing gold can stay

16th May, 2018

If you really love someone, you feel happy in their happiness. You feel perfectly complete just with the feeling, but if you don't love, you feel incomplete even with everything. Most of the people these days fish love. You know what I mean? Well, once there was a man who loved fishes and ate them everyday. His friend told him one day,
'You don't love fishes'.
So the man replied,
'Why? I really love them.'
His friend said,
'If you really loved them, you wouldn't have taken them out of the water and eaten them. You don't love fishes. You love yourself.'
See, people these days love others to fulfill their own emotional needs.
We all have forgotten what love is.
But I did know it's worth.
Love is the only thing how you become a person and why.

"Oh, I love the part when they got busted for stealing that police car." I said as Grace and Harry sat next to me in cinema watching "The Hangover", with full buckets of popcorn.
"Shhh!"Grace whispered, "Don't ruin OUR suspense you naughty boy!".
I passed the most childish smile and watched Grace watching the movie. I loved watching her lips quirking up and her eyes beaming.

Cinema was an amazing place to watch endless films, but there was something special about watching a beautiful girl in a cinema, who was so concerned in the film that everything else seemed less important, with bucket full of popcorns in her flawless hands.

After few minutes of endless laughter, we went back to her home.
I had shifted all my stuff into her home temporarily until we all bought a big home to live together.
I had also decided to live in Amsterdam with her, as long as she was there. I had to quit my previous job and it would be hard finding a new one, but I knew I would.
I was amazed by the things I did for love.

As if life seemed less important than love. Well, it surely was.

Later that evening, while sitting on her rooftop and drinking the melted chocolate, we video-called William. The warm sunlight had rested on my face and her's.

The view that the rooftop of Amsterdam provided was nothing like Florida's view. Florida's streets were always so lonely and quiet. I really missed that flowery scent that travelled through the air, yet the sun felt the same. It's warmth was still the same.

Everything felt good. I had suffered alot to reach at that point.
I'd never really believed I would find her, that easily.

As if the world itself was intended to let our souls meet again.

"Dude, you found her!!!" William almost shouted in the phone.
I could see Grace's eyes smiling as she said,
"William, look at you. You have grown into a handsome gentleman."
"I'm sure it's because of some girl." I told Grace and she giggled.
William rolled his eyes at me and replied,
"Yeah yeah, Sarah and I are pretty perfect together just like you two."

Grace clapped both of her hands together in excitement and hugged me, pulling me closer.
"You guys are really cute." William praised while watching us cuddled up like a ball of snow.
"I know, right?" I said to him.
Out of the blue, William asked,
"When you'll come back, Daniel?"
I swallowed hard and didn't reply, instead Grace said,
"Not now, but someday."
William nodded and said,
"No worries, guys, just live your beautiful life. Love and life happens only once, make it count. And yes, I really miss you guys."
I smiled at my best friend and said,
"Me too, William, me too."
"Okay dude, I'm going, Sarah is calling. Do have the time of your life." William said and rushed away.
