There has always been a brick wall around this heart. Not just because of the shy nature but because this heart is so fragile.
This is one heart that doesn’t fall easily but if it does, it falls for real. This is one heart that believes so much in people that no matter how obvious it seems to everyone else, it never thinks people would hurt it. Time has passed, with a lot of hurts and pains gone with it. To protect its fragile self, this brick wall was built around it.
And then sometime ago someone came in. This person had so much effect and took her time to remove every single brick, until she brought down the entire wall. She found this heart and made it hers. It was so beautiful that it questioned the purpose of the wall in the first place. Love had been found. Or so it seemed. Until she suddenly smashed the heart on the cold hard floor, shattering it to pieces. And then moved on the very next day to her heartthrob.
The pain and hurt was beyond anything. A mixture of resent, love and confusion. It was unbearable but with time each piece of the heart was picked up and mended together. It took a long time but it was finally done. Then the mended whole placed in a box, and put inside another box and sealed tight. The bricks were put up again, one after the other. This time built much higher. This time in three layers and re-enforced with concrete. Not to be bridged again.
Many have tried - many indeed have tried but with each trial, the wall was raised higher. This one wall isn't coming down anymore, well until now...
Its been years, a lot of years since then.
But on this day you walked into my life or rather I walked into yours. That smile, just that smile and I knew this was it. This one was for real.
I knew it would be hard for you, as my heart was completely inaccessible even to me.
You were for real but I had seen too many hurts to let you in.
You were genuine but I just couldn’t bulge.
Too many memories, too much hurts.
But you were patient, you didn't go anywhere, you kept waiting. Slowly I started to believe in you.
After days turned into weeks, to months and then years... You found a weak spot and drilled yourself a hole through which you came.
I still don't believe it but you found your way in. And somehow you won me over with that smile. Though, I had my reservations, I knew without a doubt that this one was for real.
Finally I let you in.
Went in search of the keys to the boxes and gave them to you. Surprisingly you were in no rush to open them.
And when you finally did, you took out my heart, placed it on a glass table and said to me...
I loved you so much, but it took you too long to do the same.
And then you turned and walked out. But just as you did, the helm of your scarf tugged the glass table and the rest is history...
