Love Is In The Air

"Can you fall in love again?” she held his hand and asked.

A long silence answered her question.

“How will you spend the rest of your life alone?” she asked with mixed emotion.

“I don’t know what to answer”, he replied trying to avoid tears rolling down and acting strong.

“If you get a girl with the same qualities that I have, will you marry her? ”

“You know no I am such a short-tempered guy, what if she gets angry and leaves me, How will I convince her, she might have all the qualities as yours but nobody on this earth can be as understanding as you are”, he held her hand tight.

“Don't worry I will solve all your fights. I have an idea, I will come in your dreams daily and give you tips for all the problems you will have in your life” Trust me once for this last time, Please marry her before I leave, I want to see you with someone else happy before this Cancer kills me. Please Marry her! I don't want to leave you alone.

Looking at her photo he smiled and said,” it been 10 years now since you left and I Still Love You!”

“I love you too”, the air whistled!

The ghost of loneliness again started to haunt him, perhaps to disrobe his cover of love, love that is entrapped and buried in his heart, just like her, but again, his will stood strong, like always, his will of love reserved for her refused to acknowledge any new stakeholder.

After all, you can truly love only once, isn't it?
