I'm Still Alone

Seven billion people in the world. Yet, I'm still alone.

Pray tell me, what's taking you so long?

Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining.

Well, kind of. If I would be honest.

Please, don't hold it against me.

It's just that I've been searching for you for a very long time.

So long and yet, you're still not here.

I have thought of thousands scenarios on how we should meet.

It could be a fine day i.n a park where you would sit on a bench where I am sitting. We'd talk about the weather and you would invite me for a coffee that I would gladly accept.

It could be in a lake where I used to jog every morning where you were also biking.Our eyes would meet and the rest would be history.

It could be in a busy place where our shoulders would accidentally bumped and you would pick my book that fall because of the impact.

Or it could be on the street where you almost hit me with your car.

And I even thought you'd come off in a tattered history book I found in library. A long forgotten hero searching for his destiny in present time.

And that would be me.

Don't call me crazy. It is just a wishful thinking.

Those were just few of the thousands scenarios I have mentioned.

But still, you're not here.

If you'd ask me how I'm doing I'd say I've been good.

I've never played with someone's heart.

Never indulged in half hearted feelings.

Never succumbed to my friends insistent matchmaking.

Never kissed frogs hoping it will turn prince.

I don't want those frogs.

I want you.

Still, you're not here.

People would always say I have high standards. But no, they know nothing about me.

How could I settle for less when my heart knows that somewhere in this world you are there, waiting for me?

Maybe fate is playing tricks on us.

Maybe we could have met if only I didn't turn around because someone called my name.

I knew it. My soul would recognize you the moment our eyes met. I'm sure of it.

My soulmate, I'm waiting.

Anxiously waiting for you.

So hurry now and be mine.

Because I'm yours.
