“Some things are just not meant to
last. Let’s leave it that way. It’s
better that we move on and continue our
lives.†Her whispers in his ear were
like daggers piercing in his heart.
“It’s over?†He managed to say with his
voice shuddering.
“There’s no IT, John. There never was.
Nor an US, a WE, or whatever. There
never was.†Then she stood as if she
never cared. She walked out of the
restaurant leaving tears in his eyes.
She never looked back. She only
hesitated, but never dared. She was
afraid she’d be taken aback. She was
afraid she’d go back into his arms
again. She was afraid she was too weak
to resist his love. She was afraid
she’d make the wrong the decision.
* * * * *
It was nothing more than friendship. Or
at least she thought. She was
committed. No, she’s not married or is
marrying someone. She was committed to
her work, her studies, her family and
everything else that she felt mattered
in her life. She met him in one of
those events that she volunteered to
head. Yes, she was fond of doing work.
She was very fond of multi-tasking.
It was nothing more than chit-chats
over the internet, over the phone or
through silly text messages. Or at
least he thought. He was only being
friendly. No, he wasn’t using her. He
was just being himself when they were
introduced on a dull afternoon at some
convention. They were both committee
members, they were both good. He liked
it that way, the way he has loads of
work to do, the way he has to cram his
projects and papers.
Their cliques noticed the sparkâ€â€they
didn’t. They noticed it too late. They
noticed it after they decided to deny
it. They were protecting their
friendship. They were killing the love.
They were trying to keep up with their
friends’ pressures on them being a
couple. They were trying to tell
themselves it was nothing. They were
thinking it was wrong, it was
forbidden. They thought their
friendship was perfect, it was not to
be thrown away by some silly
infatuation. They tried to act normal.
They tried harder to hide their
feelings. They weren’t progressing,
they weren’t very good actors.
She was graduating from college and
already had work waiting for her. She
thought having relationships would only
ruin things for her. She thought it was
better to wait. She thought what they
had would pass away quickly. She
thought it was just a little flame. But
deep down, she knew she was beginning
to fall, she was afraid of thisâ€â€this
what was she didn’t want.
He was a year younger than her. He
thought it would be perfect to be with
her but he never had the courage to
ask. He thought it was better to wait.
He thought it might just be a little
less than love. He thought that if he’d
give it a little time, it might fade
away. But deep down, he knew he had ‘a
thing’ for her, he was afraid of thisâ€â€
he was afraid he was actually falling
for her.
* * * * *
His car was still in the parking lot
and he was still crying. When he left
the restaurant, he was ready to forget
her; he was ready to resign his
feelings. His confession of love wasn’t
good enough for her. He thought he
ruined everything they had. He thought
he was the one who ended their
friendship with a stupid ‘I love you’.
She was driving on the freeway with
tears in her eyes. Her heart was aching
but she didn’t care. She has to make
this decision, she thought. She loved
him but never had the courage to tell
him. She never gave ‘them’ a chance.
She thought she ruined everything. She
thought she was the one who ended
everything.
* * * * *
They were both afraid. They both didn’t
want to risk. They thought it wasn’t
worth it. They thought it was better to
wait. But it was their only chance, it
was the only time they had.
They thought they lost somethingâ€â€no,
they thought wrong.
It wasn’t theirs in the first place.

Some things are just meant to happen
now, not later, not tomorrow--but
making it happen relies on us.
