How About Another Round...?

The most awaited, yet dreaded moment has happened. Her beautiful stranger, who became her leading man, came back to his senses. He said he was sorry. He said he realized all the pain and suffering he put her through. He said he did not know how to handle the situation; the thought of her possibly being with another man drove him crazy. She stayed quiet for a while. She did not know what to say. She longed to hear those words for what felt like a century. And here they were. But she couldn't speak. Tears rolled down her face. He was here and wanted back in. She told him she needed time. Time to rethink this whole situation. Time to reassess the possibility of them. She had loved him so strongly; she was still in love. But now she was scared. Scared that his love was more reckless than hers. Scared that he would hurt her even more if she allowed him back into her life. She felt lost without him. She would have liked nothing more than to simply run back to him and continue right where they left off, but she could not bear the thought of being a fool for love. This is not supposed to be so complicated, she thought to herself.

Then, she heard the most deafening sound. It was her alarm jolting her back to reality. It was all a dream. He was incapable of apologizing. His pride and ego often clouded his judgement and rendered him unable to surrender to even the most powerful emotions.

They said love was the key...
