No Value For A Beautiful Mind

They were best friends since childhood, him being a boy, she being a girl seldom came in the way.

Come college and she realised, what she felt for him wasn't purely platonic. That she indeed loved him. And what could be better than your spouse being your best friend.

She confessed it to him, to her surprise, he wasn't game. She was around him all the time, there was no excitement, nothing new, nothing unknown....he felt thus.

Moreover, he was amongst the handsome ones, a big hit amongst the ladies. She was just a plain Jane, he further thought.

They split, he shone brightly amongst the elite. Girlfriends galore, he finally fell for a princess, who dated him for a while and dumped him when bored.

Heartbroken, he realised the importance of friendship, of loyalty, of true love. He returned to her, his old friend, whom he had always taken for granted.

Alas, she had found someone now, someone who valued her, someone who chose a beautiful heart to a pretty face.

So there he was, proud and handsome, but oh so lonely.
