i imagine it will feel like that moment in the movies, when the world freezes and everything seems to move in slow motion.

we’ll meet eyes from across the room, and the planet will stop turning beneath our feet.

i will feel my stomach twist and my heart drop. maybe you will feel something like that, too. and for a second, neither of us will do a thing. we’ll just watch. waiting for the other to make the first move. 

and then you will take a step towards me, because that’s what you always do. it’s always you who decides what will happen. 

so you will take a step towards me, and i will stand there as you move through the crowd, your eyes never unlocking from mine. frozen and obedient, snapping right back into the place i once held with you. 

but somewhere along the line, somewhere along your path towards me, something inside me will melt through the ice, and grind back into motion. something inside me will say no. not this time. you’ve come so far. don’t step backwards now. 

you will be a mere yard away from me when i shake my head. you will freeze mid-step, and your eyes will go wide with surprise and confusion. 

“no.” the word will stumble from my mouth as if it was an accident. but i will prove that it isn’t by turning away from you. 

you will say, “wait, can’t you just talk to me?“ 

there will be a plea in your voice that will make me stop for a moment. it will almost make me turn back to you. it will wrap a fist around my heart and squeeze. 

but despite the pain, despite the pull i will always feel to you, i will look over my shoulder, and i will meet your gaze with mine one last time. and i will make sure you can feel the fire in me, burning. i will make sure you know that no matter how cold you made me, you never managed to put that fire out.
 
"no,” i will say, “but it was good to see you.”

I asked the universe to fall in love
And the universe answered
First I fell in love with the dirt beneath my feet
Molding itself around each step I planted
Then I fell in love with the growing seeds, brushing against my ankles
Even the weeds didn’t hold me back, for I loved them too
Next I loved the sea, crashing against my kneecaps with fury and grace
With each cold wave I was reminded of the warmth in my breath
After that I loved the air, pushing me forward
And forcing my stubborn gaze upon a new horizon
Finally I looked up, and loved the sunlight
Shining on my skin, nourishing a glow no one else could replicate

Soon after, I met you
I remembered how wonderful it felt to love
And thought, perhaps, it might feel just as good to love you

I asked the universe to fall in love
And the universe answered
I saw your disgust at the mud paths I walked along
As you criticized the thorns prodding my ankles
When the sea crashed a little too hard, you did not attempt to lift me up
But instead showed your strength only to pull me away from the wind’s current
Then, I found that when I looked to the sky, the sun no longer shined the way it used to
Instead it lay dark, covered by a single greedy cloud
So I decided not to love you
For as much as I loved to love
And tried to love
The universe answered
And the answer was no

I got my heart broken and I survived, I failed 3 courses in university and graduated, I got rejected in the very first job I applied for and got promoted yesterday, I went through hard times with my family but then two years later, we laughed our hearts out over lunch, The closest friends disappointed me several times but I made new friends and loved them with all my heart. I did it once, I can do it again.

Someday someone is going to look at you with a light in their eyes you’ve never seen, they’ll look at you like you’re everything they’ve been looking for their entire lives. wait for it.
