Serendipity

The age old, boy meets girl. Maybe she drops her purse. Maybe he picks it up and hands it to her. Maybe they talk and end up getting coffee. Maybe they make friends, fall in love, lead long happy lives together.
Maybe they don’t. Maybe they fall out of love after a while, fall out altogether. Divorce. She gets the house, he gets the car. She gets the kids, he gets visitation. Maybe they don’t have kids at all.
Maybe they live together until one leaves for good. Maybe the other will mourn. Maybe they won’t.
Maybe they decide it doesn’t work and go their separate ways after a year or two. Maybe they stay friends.
Maybe, when she drops her purse, book or guard at the bookstore, he does nothing more than pick it up, hand it to her and walk away without another word, thinking, in the back of his head, “Maybe,” but no one will ever know.
Maybe…

Niamh said...

yup... it appears you did... now i am wondering if i want to know who this is... or keep the mystery going.

Anonymous said...

neways going back to ur poser i'd go for the latter :) it's more fun that way..

Niamh said...

how's this for a comment, this is getting mildly disturbing...

Nice one.. wish it was longer..

guess its beauty lies in its terse-ness.. but then.. wish it went on for a lil while longer..

but then, isnt "maybe" what we try to figure out all our lives.. and yet dont know which moaybe would have been a better path.. coz we cant live them all..

does that make sense??? :P

may be!!! the most diplomatic word i hav ever heard!!! and yet...it keeps that aura of mysteriousness all the time..... :))

but there's definitely a 'maybe' in everybody's life...it cannot be a 'yes' or a 'no' all the time....coz otherwise the fun is gone!!
