Enveloped Serenade – B

This is the 100th post on Soul-ed Out! Thanks to all my readers for the love and support. 🙂

Beloved sunshine,

You don’t yet know my name but you will one day, hopefully in the near future.

I’ve been waiting for you since forever because I am the kind of guy who believes in soulmates and  I know you exist somewhere out there in this vast world hoping to bump into me some day too. I have stopped by small cafés and had conversations with strangers about the books they were reading just to find you. And then I thought maybe you and I are destined to meet on a Friday night in a bar, so, I started drinking for you. After a couple of bad hangovers and zero drunken weddings that had to be followed up with immediate annulment, I thought of giving up the hunt. Then this creepy thought came over me. What if we have already crossed each other’s paths and somehow missed out on the perfect first meeting where you fall into my arms and our eyes meet and we feel that immediate connection? Okay, don’t let my clichéd romantic notions scare you away! It’s just that I love the concept of love and, romance is very important to me. You see, I’m a writer who specialises in heartbreaks and I don’t want us to have any of the endings that I write about. I know you’re the kind of person who deserves a happily ever after. And I can’t guarantee you a lifetime of joy but I will sure as hell try my best to reach at least the vicinity of that level. Because I know you’ll make me happier than the happiest I’ve been till date and I’m dying to fall in love with you.

But I have this fear that I will mess it up. I tend to ruin most good things in my life. Sometimes it is intentional, most times, it’s not. If I could go back in time and correct the things I regret, I probably wouldn’t come back. So that’s actually why I’m writing to you. When the time comes for you to doubt my love for you, know that I had anticipated this years before we even met. Know that I loved you long before I told you about it. Know that I am an imperfect human who sucks at living and I need you to not abandon me in difficult times like these. I promise you that I will do the same for you, although I doubt if that would ever be necessary because I can sense that you are a strong woman. How else would you fall in love with a creature like me who tends to hate himself now and then? I’m not trying to lure you by playing the sympathy card. It’s just a fact. Also, I am a little disoriented right now because of all the medication. You see, I’m hospitalised at the moment because I fell sick and didn’t bother to go to the doctor on time. I hate hospitals. So you may have a tough time convincing me to get a routine check-up done as well. Well, here’s a thought, what if you are the pretty nurse who helped me with the wretched blue gown today? There was some connection there, don’t you think? If you’re not, forget I said anything (you know me, I’m a little crazy but in a lovable way)! To me, you are always going to be the best. Please come soon into my life, okay? I love you already, babe.

Yours,

Prince Charming AF
