Stubborn Heart
December 28, 2007I thought I finally got over it… finally moving on, and tried to left the past behind. I was wrong.
I saw her in the grocery the other day. Hmm actually I saw her three times that that day. First , as I was on my way to our cafe, I saw her in the tricycle. I think she saw me too. Then saw her twice in the mall in the afternoon.
It was about 4 PM. I wasn't feeling too good so I thought I'd step out of the office and get myself something to drink from the mall's grocery right in front. I couldn't decide what to buy… then I saw her. I thought I'd approach her as a friend at least… but as I get near her, my heart started to pump faster as faster. I stopped about a meter or two behind her. Thinking of what I would say… I made a few steps closer. I stood right behind her, trying to get the words out of my mouth. But for a moment I felt my heart have risen and got stuck on my throat. I just stood there, looking at the beauty that once owned my heart. She's still as beautiful as ever… No. She's much prettier now. I watched her read the information on the label of whatever product she is holding. She didn't notice my presence yet.
