Briefly Encountered

Let me share with you a story, as once upon a time, I may have brushed past your shoulder,

For I have given myself in too deeply, in consequence, I was hurt to the same depth. Maybe more, or a little less, I couldn't tell for sure. However, it was never a lie, that I have shut myself out of people and connections, crammed in my own tiny circle of life. We hear very often, 'It takes years to build Trust, but seconds to have it crushed.' It was the same, for me.  

Aren't they strange but interesting fellas, Fate and Serendipity,

 always appearing only at unexpected times?

I met a person. Einen Typ. A year or so ago, our encounter was brief. I was introduced to Him on a party, as a very close friend of a friend. We greeted, as my girl friend finally revealed her Secret Boyfriend. I remember Him from the first encounter because of a sense of familiarity. That time, I was having a hard time in terms of a relationship. It was starting to fall, yet again. The air of confidence and maturity reminded me of another Him. That evening, it actually pained to see both of them so happily together. It was the only thing I wanted from Him. I stole glances at them, especially her, as admiration and a tinge of jealousy filled my blood. 

That evening, I could never foresee anything of such today.

As we opened ourselves to changes and irregularities, our lives are driven forward with a push. It always seemed to me that during my childhood days, time used to be longer than now. Scientifically, children feel a longer time frame in 24 hours compared to adult, because they are exposed to new things everyday. It was a humorous joke, 'We live longer when we do something new everyday.' 

With a grip, slowly I am walking out of my own shadowed frame, as I involved myself with Him. I may or may not completely walk out of it; I may or may not entirely overcome my fears in relationships, but that change has brought me good, as I discover the good sides of myself more, making me feel beautifully confident in my own skin. I couldn't have possibly imagined a change with that brief our Encounter. 

So tell me, what has an Encounter done to you?

I have came to see that my tiny presence, and my tragic love story that I hid to myself, was nothing merely a speck of dust to the universe. Broken hearts, teary eyes, choking cries, they are a cycle all over this world. I certainly am not the only welled up with tears, am I not? All of us did or will do.

I want all of you to understand my story,

I want all of us to be happier while encountering People,
