Princess Corner

I walk along the corridor, its raining heavily , the sky is a deep grey black colour, the clouds look heavy and it seems like it’ll rain forever. What more, it makes my mood turn gloomy and blue…..I let out a loud sigh.

In a flash, everything changes and everything seems to brighten up. Its as if the sun started shining and there’s birds chirping and soft, gentle breeze blowing. Is it a change of weather in a blink of an eye ? Well no, its simply because my wandering eye has caught a gaze on someone whom I’m hoping to meet since the other day…..

I see him taking a turn round the corner, heading right my way. A quick check of my reflection in the window , and I see a plain , simple girl looking right back at me. I decide to stay where I am, knowing that I don’t have what it takes to catch his attention. However , I steal a long gaze at him from the corner of my eyes, and….

I watch him approaching, the distance between us seems to be getting inch by inch , closer and closer. My heart is pounding with nervousness, it beats so hard that I feel like its going to break out from my chest. My breathing becomes quick and rapid, it seems like the air is thinning, my whole body becomes cold, and I feel faint. He comes so close and pass me by an inch of width distance . He doesn’t even look at me. I was like a pillar, like a statue placed in his path. I was ignored. My hopes were crushed, I was crushed….

The heart that was pounding so hard, slow instantly into a dying pulse -like rate. My breathing becomes slow like that of a dying person,my whole body heats up instantly and I feel my cheeks flush with embarassment, as blood rises to my cheeks. How could I have drawn so much hope in something so vague and unpromising ? Why did I even hope for the impossible ? Tears rise to my eyes like a flood, and pour down my cheeks. Hot burning tears wash down my cheeks. I make no attempt to stop them, but instead let them flow to their hearts content.

How could I have even filled my thoughts with such hope and dreams, when I’m not even close to anything in reality ? …….
