Broad Daylight

By charline - Wednesday, November 07, 2012


P.S. The other day my friend and I were talking about taking chances in love and even in other things that we do not have any control of. I agree with her that if we want to be happy, we should dare explore all the chances and not to be afraid of the things that we can have. I think this is also a good way for me to practice my creative skills. :)


Dark clouds begin to gather on the sky. 



The weather is getting nasty and gloomier than ever. As I struggle to catch my breath, I slowly nuzzle my nose to prevent the sudden outburst of tears about to fall. Feeling the strong palpitation of my heart, I look around and search for that familiar face.

Just as my grip loosens, I realize that the person I am looking for, the one I ever want to have is also the same person I have been trying to runaway from.

When I finally catch another breath, a cold crisp of air filled my lungs. I can feel my heart contracting heavily. It is mad. It is in grief  and I can feel its remorse. For the nth time, my mind has succumbed to the dominance of my mind.

Stopping for a moment, I gaze at the sky, coal black clouds signaling heavy rain. And exactly in the same spot, I felt a sudden shiver down my spine, a shiver almost same as the strike of a lightning bolt. But along with this unexplainable effect are my endless thoughts of you. You are the person I ever want. But I don’t know why fear lingers on?

In my wildest reasoning, I start to think I can lose you. With just one wrong move, I can never hold you again. Amidst this cynicism, I ask myself, how can I ever have you in my life if I can’t even acknowledge the feelings I have longed suppress?


Battling arguments on my mind make me more confused. About to give in, I just slowly cover my face. As my tears start to fall, I have finally allowed my vulnerability to get the best of me. “Someone help me, please.” are the only words I could utter.

In a single throbbing moment, I felt a slight pat on my shoulder. Perhaps, someone sympathizes with me, I said, trying to convince myself. Just as I slowly open my eyes, your face comes to light. As my vision gets clearer, my heart has also found its way. There are no other places to go. There is no sane reason why I should in the first place.



My attempt to runaway again is just but a futile and desperate move to restrict myself to have that one thing that only you can give – true love.

Why do I have to make things hard for myself? Fear of almost all possible scenarios about our ending already entered my mind. But as you start to pull me close to you, as you hold on to me not wanting to leave, everything just vanished. I could only think of the best and the happiest memories we can create together.

As I try to win my heart over, you just hold me tighter. Looking up, the darks clouds are now gone. The rain has stopped and so is my anxious mind. In the broad daylight, you have revealed yourself. In that instant, I know this is where I belong and this is where I want to stay, here with you. After a long time, I have never felt this unusual bliss.
