Some of you might have read this before. Just thought of sharing this with others.
She looked at me, smiled and said not a word. I wanted her to say something. It could have been anything in the world but I just wanted to hear her speak because if her facial features were so good I was imagining how beautiful her voice would be. But I consoled myself saying that a smile is worth a thousand words. I left from the library borrowing the book advanced theories in quantum physics knowing fully well how much I would read that day. I just knew that I had to see her again tomorrow. Since the past week, she had captivated me, her smile had completely mesmerised me. But what made me think the most was why hadn’t I seen her before? Looking at her, I felt that she was the one who would fill the void in my life.
The next day dawned bright and beautiful and I woke up with a purpose. I put on a bright blue shirt and a comfortable pair of denim jeans. My heart was beating as I entered the library. And it was then I saw her...the same pair of bright eyes, sharp face, long hair which had me enchanted. I took the courage to approach her for mine was not an ordinary boy meets girl case. Here I was, a 35 year old professor and a widower and there she was, a lovely librarian, somewhere around 30. After the tragic death of my wife, I thought I would never love again. But love is a funny thing as they say. I was returning the book to her when I saw it. She had a beautiful diamond ring on her engagement finger. A thousand emotions swirled inside my mind. It felt as if the sea until now so calm had suddenly turned violent and my ship just capsized. I felt helpless. I could do nothing but somehow managed a smile. That was probably the shortest love story ever. And as I smiled, she looked at me, smiled back and said not a word....
