A Covariant Bond

ASTERISIA:

One emotion I'd pledged to stay away from all my life was- LOVE! Why? Because my first love had very unfortunately so turned into a lesson. A lesson I'd always remember.

I was away from men to stay true to my intention, till one covert deal was signed and all my self-restraint was put to test, by a man I had known for years. Not that I had opened up to him in the past; but still he knew too much- Who I am as a person, what I want from my life, what words will instigate me and which ones will calm me down in a fraction.

The pop up reminder- STAY AWAY FROM LOVE. But each passing day with this infuriatingly perfect man, makes me want to break all the promises to myself and finally get the love I desperately crave for, but still don't think I deserve..

NOAH:

Can love happen twice?

My answer would have been no, if you would have asked me this a year ago. But now? Now I can be a professor to guide you on how unrequited love like mine, is always so overhyped and misguided. Falling in love has nothing to do with the number of people you have mistakenly considered yourself to be in love with and everything to do with the person whose guts you hate the most and yet, still unknowingly end up giving away your heart to.

After years of hating how she used to always pretend to be overly cheerful back in the days, I fell in love with the shadows of vulnerability that lingered around her; desperately needing to be embraced.

I still can't say if I'm the kind of man she wanted to be with, but she definitely is the woman I have hopelessly been praying for, all my life!!
