Heart Beats

One breezy full moon night, I was waiting for my friend. It was the very first time we were supposed to meet in person. I could hear my heart beat slowly n I tried to imagine the moments about to encounter him. . but he didn't turn up on time. The touch of cool air, the golden hue of the moonlight and the romantic scent from the night sky was spread all around . I felt as if Cupid stood beside me n was ready to hit his arrow, hard n completely set toward me. it made me even more restless. It was about half an hour n I turned myself towards the stairs, to go away in despair n thoughts looming over me that yes, I wasn't made for love.

But, suddenly something happened. As I moved towards the stairs, I saw him coming up towards me. I complained that he was late. But he just surrounded me with his arms n for the first time in my life, I could hear his heartbeat, clearly, rapidly beating, as if from deep inside a mother's womb. The world stopped moving for a while as if creating momentum in time, where our heartbeats are one. I felt love is real and it finds its place wherever and whenever it's meant to be. Hope that our journey of love grows stronger n leads us towards infinity.
