sweet dreams

Sweet dreams…

It had been a long day but as I settled in bed I knew it was going to be another night of dreams… some people called them sweet dreams but for me they were nothing more than the grim reality of knowing that somewhere knowingly I had gone wrong..

We had been childhood friends.. Michael and me.. met by what one would call sheer luck.. all I knew was that it was not luck but a blessing…
It was 27th may to be exact, my first year in college, his third.. surprisingly I was always good with dates. Anyways it had been that day that our friendship saga had begun..
Days passed.. beautiful glorious days.. Walks under the rain, movies in theatres, hurried dinners as we both had to be back to college.. late phone calls.. Those who didn’t know us took us as lovers but at that time it was just friendship for us.. a friendship, which we both treasured..
Now I always had this distant desire like all young girls to meet my prince charming.. and somehow though the world told me it was but only in fairy tales.. my heart knew he would come one day..
A year passed and before I knew Michael developed feelings for me.. after voicing his feelings for me he proposed me.. I accepted..
I knew in my heart that I did not love him and my feelings for him unreadable by my own self.. And hence, began the journey of two spirits, set together by fate.
Days passed, passion built and rainbows were everywhere.. but as every good time has to end.. he had to leave too…
Months swept like years, bitterness prevailed and soon I found out that he had found another in a distant land.

And there’s the bell again.. waking up from my fitful sleep I looked at the watch.. 06.00 hours.. looking out of the window I saw the rain.. it was dark and dreary, perfectly mirroring my mood..
The door bell rang again.. I walked to the door opened and gasped.. it was Juan my new neighbour. I stood there bewitched looking at him, seeing him closely for the first time.. tryin to grasp what he was saying I made out words like sorry, some dog called prince and my garden.. go figure!.. I looked out and suddenly I saw the rainbow high above.. the seven colours bringin warmth to the world and my heart..
Two years have passed now..looking back now I know that my life has been nothing but a bunch of sweet dreams, blessings from above.. I have a love so beautiful, a friend so cherished yes m friends with Michael again.. but the best of all.. getting to know that love at first sight exists.. yes I Sara am marrying juan this spring.. and expecting a child seven months thereafter.. we are both hoping it’s a baby girl..
