THE WRONG SISTER
We were to spend "Family time" at the mall, my parents were exchanging pleasantries with their old friends, while Liz and I took pictures....
I was just too excited, so I jumped around making funny poses. I guess that was my whole body being aware of his presence....
I finally saw him sitted on a car, he had a smile on his face, I just knew he had been watching all along.
I felt a rush of color to my face, our eyes were fixed on each other.
It created a window for our souls to connect, I could feel our heart speak the language of the universe, the language understood by all, the language of the Heart.... the language called LOVE.... and in that moment nothing else mattered....I felt perfect...I felt whole.... the moment I will always treasure forever.
Few years letter...
Liz came home with "Him"....
Yes "Him", they have been dating for a while and he had engaged her....I managed to mutter 'He's okay when she asked me what I thought, but from that point, nothing was okay..... I cried the whole night re-creating the fantasy I have been living in.... I had imagined him tracking me down, appearing at the door with a bouquet....our endless love making and love escapades....they all taunted me now.
Even now as I stand behind her as she makes her vow, I could feel the burn in my throat as I fight the tears...
How did the glass shoe fit the wrong foot?
How did prince charming go off with the wrong princess?
I knew she didn't love him as much as I did, I had enough love that could last us both a life time...but he was missing out on all that... that should be his punishment for choosing the wrong sister.
I looked away as they drew nearer to seal the vow... it gave me the chance to catch the falling tears.... 😢
