The Impossible Lovers

Yeah I know the title is corny. But hey it's 2:30 in the morning and I can’t think of any romantic title for my story. Anyway here’s my story that was inspired by my strange dream I had on Saturday night. It was so real I swear I remember kissing in my dream. Only when I woke up did I realize it was nothing but a dream. It’s really amazing how the mind can weave possibilities so eerily real.

The Impossible Lovers

We sat down for a cup of coffee just like we used to have when we had our troubles. We both were lonely wolves seeking for companionship. Our new loves seemed impossible and we didn’t have the courage to face them.

And I told her, one day when we are all grown up, we are going to miss each other as friends. We both will have families and new found friends. We will live separate lives and meet once in a while just to remember the good times we had together.

She smiled said nothing and toasted to our friendship.

Soon we graduated and our lives went separate ways. We saw less of each other but we both knew we couldn’t love anyone else say for our impossible loves.

Years begin to pile on, and our friends started tying the knots. We both knew time wasn’t on our side and our families pressured us into marriage. She invited me to her wedding and I invited her to my wedding. We were still friends and we were married to partners we eventually grow to love.

We both would have successful careers because we both were hard workers. But our success came with a price. It cost us both our marriage. We grew lonely and cry ourselves to sleep. And for the first time in many years we remembered the friend that we always could count on. We dreamt of one another every night and that comforted us both.

Still we couldn’t bring ourselves to call each other. We didn’t know what to say to one another or how to say what we really wanted to say. Months pass, work that once cost us our marriages seemed like a chore. What we both wanted was to have someone to comfort us, someone to be there for us, and most importantly someone to love us. We no longer thought of our impossible loves for that has become nothing more than a distant memory.

One day we met after being though all of life struggles. We tried to hide our smiles. We tried not to look at each others eyes, for it would have given away our hearts. We both sat down and when I bought her a cup of coffee I could see her eyes water.

We both knew what the other was thinking. We both remembered the day we spoke of seeking our impossible loves. And for the first time our hearts opened. We could no longer live in the guise of being friends anymore. We knew then and there that we were meant for each other. That we were the impossible lovers.

And for very first time, I held her hand and said those three beautiful words. She put a finger on my lips and told me that I didn't need to say it. I smiled, pulled her close and kissed her lips.

Note:
Now all you gals whom I had coffee with don’t come asking me if I am writing this story based on you. Maybe I am, but know that this is an elaborate plan of mine to get more beautiful gals to have coffee with me. Seriously it’s just a romantic fiction.

So till my next post ya, its bye from Ganz.
