Once a man was fleeing from all that haunted him. A girl, so dear, he relinquished, in search for inner peace and bliss. For eons he rummaged the heart of metropolis to the bounds of this concrete jungle, but found nothing until one day he looked into a café. And all sense and folly dawned on him— the very thing he was looking for, he had it all along. Then forever and after, he walks into cafés, hoping she’d magically appear just like before. Strumming a guitar, their eyes would meet,
…and he would watch it all begin again.

it’s one of life’s ironies that we keep on searching and looking for something we already have. 😦

I couldn’t agree more, plaridel. Maybe there’s too much “what ifs” going on in our heads such as what if there’s something better or what if s/he is not the one. *sigh*
Anyway, thanks for dropping by. Have a happy new year. 🙂

Quite a poetic piece. I don’t think this poor chap will ever find his true happiness.

I immediately thought of Central Perk and Pheobe strumming her guitar! Treasure what you have, you’ll never know how valued it is until it’s no longer there.

Oh I haven’t watched that one… I agree, we’ll never know how valuable something is until it’s gone.
Have a beautiful day, Rosey. 🙂

Hope it works for him. But I don’t have much faith; he seems doomed to walk.
