STOLEN HEART

Walking down noisy and busy street of commercial avenue feeling tired hungry and lonely, I wasn’t thinking I was going to meet prince charming, besides I wasn’t ready yet. From what I heard you don’t meet people like that in such places so I wasn’t actually thinking about it, like I am when am out partying with friends. But OMG there he was looking at me looking at him. those eyes... I can never forget those black eyes that looked at me as if they were not just looking at me but looking at my soul. I immediately forgot where I was and I felt all weak inside. This has never happened to me before. For the first time in my life, I was spell bound. I stood there in the middle of the street looking stupid. That is when he walked up to me and said ‘’hello do I know you?” Jesus the voice, such a sweet musical voice, so very calm and reassuring. I just stood there because I couldn’t say anything. What could I say? Because at that particular moment I had actually forgotten who I was. As if sensing my distress he asked me if I was alright. that’s when I remembered that I couldn’t just stand there looking dumb, I had to say something. So I said “Maybe because you look familiar”. he introduced himself and said his name was Harris and I told him mine. Then he took my number and gave me his and promised he was going to call me same day. I was so excited and couldn’t wait to see him again. I remenber going to the shop that day to buy a dress for myself. I had to look good for him, so i choose this little red dress i saw. I just loved the way the dress showed off my body. It was realy sexy but classy at the same time. The dress said i want you to look but don't touch. When i came back home i went straight to bed, i had to catch some sleep to look my best for him. When i woke up, it was 6pm. i immediately got myself ready and was waiting for his call. I check my phone every minute to make sure he has not called in my absence. But I don’t know what happened because he never called. One week passed, still no call from him. that’s when I decided to take the bull by the horns and do the calling. I will never forget what I heard. someone answered the call and said Harris is no more, he had an accident and died last week, Monday. I remained quiet for a long time and I remember the person who answered the phone talking to me but I couldn’t hear him. before I could bring myself to say something to him he dropped the phone. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. that’s when I remembered that he died that same day we met. i couldn’t believe that God has taken him from me so soon. I only knew his name, and I also knew that I was in love with him, even if I had seen him just once. I realized I had to go to the burial so I called the number again, but it wasn’t going through and I ended up not going. I really felt bad because I would have loved to go and see him one last time, may be tell him how I feel, but even that I couldn’t do. Now am all alone again and am wondering if I can ever see someone who is going to make me feel the way he made me feel. What to do?
