Rendezvous

It was dark, dawn had not set in.
The darkness outside echoed her thoughts.
She packed her bags, caught her cab.
The car raced towards the airport and her heart raced faster.

She was waiting for boarding her flight with anticipation locking her heart.
She picked her phone and dialed his number.
His voice calmed her and the anxiety demons were swept away.

When she opened her eyes her flight had landed.
She picked her phone to see his missed calls.
Her heart raced at lightning speed now. He was the man she loved.
Love had blossomed for them in the most unforeseen, unexpected of ways.
One fine day after a decade of knowing and yet not knowing they started talking.
And then two months later she was here, in love and waiting to see her lover for the first time.

She pulled her suitcase and walked outside.
Her eyes searching for him, scouring for her lover.
And then they saw each other.
Their bodies warm with each other's embrace.
Their racing hearts calming each other down.
And their eyes welled with unbridled happiness.

She knew she had found her companion.
She knew there was love.
She knew there was him. Real and all hers.
