The One Person For Me…
Walking alone in the dark street, patches of lights illuminated by lamps along the way. Looking up I see the stars, above the night sky. There is no one here. I saw all of them inside, as I passed each window and see right through. They are smiling and laughing, how happy they seem to be. And I started to walk again.
As I pass by I saw my reflection on a mirror. Standing in front of it I see myself looking through my own eyes. Those dark piercing eyes and it let me see a glimpse of my soul. The soul which is floating together with a thousand lights. Lights of different colors and hue. Lights which represents memories that guides me through this life.
Then I heard a voice coming from the mirror and my reflection spoke, "Why are you looking at me?"
Is this real, I am talking to myself… it is me and I exchanging words to each other.
"Because I saw the sadness in your eyes…", I replied.
My reflection turned his eyes away from me, "So you did."
"Why, why is there a sad look in your eyes?", I asked.
He gently put his hands on the glass and I did the same thing, I feel the coldness of it followed by a different kind of warmth. Feeling cold and warm at the same time, how is it possible?
"Because you are alone,", he said.
"But I am not alone. I got my family and friends, see I am not."
"Yes, we got our family and friends but in the end… we still stand alone."
I bowed my head… of course. It is myself who I am talking with. He also knows what is in the depths of my heart and mind. I cannot lie to myself.
He touched my chin and hold my head up, "You will be alone, feel alone… until you find the one person for you."
"The one person for me…", I repeated it over and over again.
"Yes, the one person for us."
"Who would that be?", I asked him.
"The one person for you… is the one who will take you as you are. Accept you for all the things that made you who you are right now. Understand your heart and mind without words spoken. Knows you in and out. Hold you close because of the things you can do and will hold you even closer because of the things you cannot do."
I smiled, "I’ve found a person like that but… I lost him. Many times I did and they left me."
He shook his head, "Then he is not the one person for you."
"Then who is he?"
"One who will not leave your side and keep you inside his heart all the time. It doesn’t matter what is the time or how far is the distance the two of you are apart. Still he would hold you close and never let go. The one person for you will never let those things hinder him for what he feels. Thinking of you when the sun rises and wakes up happy, still thinking of you in the night even as you lay within his arms. Will love the person that you are and you will love him in return until the rest of your days."
I looked up back to the sky, "Would that be possible?"
"Yes, all you need is to believe and never give up on the love within your heart."
I heard someone calling me, I turned around to see who it was. A person is standing behind me, calling out my name. I cannot see his face, he is so vague. But I feel a familiar emotion, just like I did before. And in the darkness of the night I hear my heart beat so loud.
"Is he the one person for you?", and I looked back to my reflection.
"I don’t know.", I answered.
"What do you feel?"
"It feels like the same feeling that I have before when I met the person I thought is the one person for me…"
"But what if he is not the one person for you?"
"Then it will be alright, I would take the risk."
"And get yourself hurt again in the end?"
"Yes, love and hurt comes together. But I would rather take the hurt… at least I would know what lies at the end of the road. I will learn more and make myself a better person. From my own ashes I will rise again."
"If he is not the one person for you, don’t let him make you forget about us."
I turned around and saw the person standing behind me reaching out. I grasped his hands and he pulled me closer. Until finally I am enveloped inside his tight embrace.
Looking back at my reflection as he starts to fade, "No, I won’t let him forget about us."
