December 07 The Scrabble GoddessJust over a month ago, I realised how neglecting and how nonchalant I've been towards her. How could I have been so blind to have missed all the road signs while I daydreamed on the wheel?
Almost 3 years ago, those large, doe-like eyes that peered over her workstation captivated me from the off. I was full of eagerness and earnest to get to know her. And know her I did. Little did I realise it was one of the smartest things I've done in a long time. Beginning with a simple namecard led to correspondence on the phone and instant messenger, and the rest, as we say, was history.
It was fun for me to bring a little laughter into her life and break the monotony and doldrums of work. And she brought a lot maturity, wit, sarcasm and laughter into our conversations and my life as well. She's a truly remarkable girl to be honest. Her independence, her selflessness, her sociability puts her in a class of her own. We shared a friendship bond that I deeply cherished. But eventually I realised there's more to her than just a good friend.
When I cast my thoughts to the past, I spent all those years chasing shadows when she was there all along. It came to a point when I asked myself "What was I thinking?". When I experienced joy and hardship, she'd be among the first to know. When I returned from business trips, she's the first person I'd wanna buzz. When she was interested in someone else, I felt my heart sink. And despite all that, I almost let the notion of "us" slip through my fingers.
So what snapped? Was it a spark of the moment? Or a gesture that changed my world? I think, to put it simply, I just woke up from my daydream. It happened the day the line was drawn. It was meant to govern our relationship. But I broke the rules of engagement. I would've lost "us" if I didn't. I was in denial for far too long. Now, I finally see her in a different light and with that I cast away the shadows.
There's a new love in my life. She is, the Scrabble Goddess. Comments (1)
