Meet me at 12......

 

“When time stops still for love”

 

Patiently as she waits she listens very carefully

unable to hear a thing except for the sound of her own

flutter flies in her stomach

The smells of fresh meadows all around where the atmosphere of calmness and peace pervades, and the beauty is quietly stunning,

She stands at the

foothill of their favourite tree the one they named

'tree of time'

For as long as they both can remember, they been meeting here on so many occasion at different times of the day.

This was their secret tree of time, no one else knew of

its existence.  A symbolic tree where time truly was of the essence this day. 

Her thoughts drifted

once again, she knew they had to get it right,

she knew that they had to both be here on time... it’s now 11.55 

The earthy smells of the ground and the flowers and the

whole atmosphere ignites a deep burning passion

and distracts her

from her thoughts.   She takes in deep breaths

helping to cleanse her mind and soul as

she is ready to embark on this journey. 

She can see clearer now than ever

before, it feels right and that’s what counts.

It’s just a matter of timing

when they will be together forever as she sees him in the

distance her heart begins to race.  He sees her

waiting and he picks up his pace.

In his mind he is telling himself that

this was the only way that they

could be together

forever.

“Meet me at 12” he said.

He knew this was the only way, the only way for

them to have a chance of happiness, a chance for them to

allow their true feelings to blossom letting no one and nothing

stand in their way.  He sees her in the distance and

he starts to run towards her,

his heart pounding,  floods of emotions

consuming his body

he knew this was right.
 

“I have a plan...meet me at 12” he said.

It’s 11:59 just as they are about to embrace he takes a

small key from his pocket and throws it out

into the distance banishing the one

and only thing that can control their time

By throwing away the key

and stopping time will allow them to be

together forever. 

“I have a plan...... I have the key to the clock, the only thing that will keep us together forever....take us to a place where it doesn’t matter whether it is midday or midnight all you have to do is........ meet me at 12”

Has a feel to this story...yet time is just a calculation not a reality...since time doesn't show emotion or care for its surrounding...the way you use it --- to elaborate the point of this narrative presents itself...and the ending of putting the key and clock as a representation of the love they have for each other...nothing else really matters...

A fine emotion fuelled love story, the ending was a thrilling compliment and creative solution to this match made in heaven......Time stands still for blissful eternity, what a way to complete a new beginning!

What a tranquil beauty that rises on the colors of your canvas. There is a passionate desire to be united forever, and how love should always long to make two into one. Pure bliss.
