Some lyrics never leave you,
they bind you in a spell.
As young hearts sing,
the forlorn daises dance away;
and the merry men strung their guitar.
May Summer go and Winter come.
My little girl has grown up.
With promises to make and secrets to keep, this lonely life seeks a warmth.
To love and loss, to hold and behold.
I seek the truth.
Love is old as time spins yearn.
This day has yet to come.
On this note I end my ode,
to my beautiful soul.

Flashback

I didn't think I would ever fall in love but I did. Love. How pathetic was I ? I actually believed he loved me. His words and actions showed that he loved me or was he pretending all along. Men they know how to fool you and I blindly stepped into his trap. Stupid! I uttered all the curse words which I knew.

Before I knew it,hot tears started falling from my eyes and I couldn't  stop myself. I buried my face in my pillow and started sobbing. It was like the downpour of torrential rain. Nothing like the drizzle rain in a hot summer but something similar to the heavy, never ending rain in monsoon.
I didn't know how long I cried until the door opened. Soft foot steps treaded carefully in my direction.

"Hey! You should eat something, it's already evening and you have not eaten anything since breakfast." A gentle male voice said.

I disentangled myself  from the pillow and looked up. My eyes were red and blotchy by now but I didn't care.

"What are you doing here?", I said in a croaky voice and winced at how it sounded.

The man didn't immediately reply. He seemed more interested in watching me.

"Well, I came to visit you guys and then I heard about your miserable state. You should know that the asshole doesn't deserve you. If he valued you and even loved you he wouldn't have deserted you. There is nothing you can do to change everything but you should stop letting him hurt you. The first step to achieve that is to forget him. I know it's difficult and hard to move on but for your sake and everyone else's you should do it." He said with a smile.

There was something reassuring in his words and I felt like a cloud has been lifted to let the sunshine in.

"If I didn't know you Ronan, I would think that you are trying to impress me." I said in a teasing tone.

He shook his head. The smile was still there. Suddenly it dawned on me that I never saw him dating or with any other female. Was he gay or something? Then I recalled that he spent most of his time at our house other than school and his home. Did he like one of my sister's? He wouldn't be interested in Melinda, she was too spoiled and younger than him. Oh my God. It couldn't be! But it was so obvious. He liked Melanie, my other sister and Ronan's best friend.

"You seemed to be in deep thought. What are you thinking?", he asked with worried eyes.

I decided to confirm my suspicion.

"Do you love Melanie?", I asked suddenly unable to contain my curiosity any longer.

The question caught him off guard and he suddenly seemed nervous. He lowered his eyes and answered.

"Yes. I love her. More than anything else in the world. I would gladly swallow poison,take a bullet or give up everything. Just for her. Only her." He confessed.

I didn't expect him to be so romantic. He was very cool and composed. But then again I was not good in reading people. I was thinking of asking him why he didn't confess when Melanie suddenly entered the room.

"Did I interupt something?", Melanie said in a sweet,melodious voice.

"No. Ronan and I were just chatting about random things. He was trying to lift my mood." I said in a soft voice and gave a guarded look at Ronan. He understood my message and composed himself.

Melanie shrugged. She was looking very pretty in her blue denim jeans and cream crop top.

"Do you want to say something?", Ronan asked.

"Yes. I have a date tonight with Carmel Jacob at Regale." She said and a dreamy smile took over her face.

Carmel Jacob. Interesting. My sister's life is more interesting than mine.

"Oh! That's great! I hope you enjoy your date and who knows if it goes well you guys can go on more dates."
, Ronan said with a sad smile.

But Melanie didn't see the sad smile or hear the wistful tone in his voice. She was too excited to tell us about her date. It seemed that she was very excited to go on the date and then she told us how happy she was that he asked her out after months of holding on to this hope.

I silently cursed. Was my sister blind? Couldn't she see that the man she is looking for is right in front of her? Why does she need to please and impress a guy to go on a date?

Ronan didn't want to hear her talking about another man with such passion. Her eyes so blue like the summer sky, her bow shaped lips oh so kissable,her silver painted nails gave him sinful thoughts, the things he wanted to do with her and they were far from innocent. Why did she not see? Oh! he knew why. She didn't believe in love. It was all fairytale and shit for her. Her mind was too practical and sensible to think beyond science and logic. Love she had once told him was a impractical thing and only for silly, whimsical fools who had nothing better to occupy their time. He tried to concentrate on what she was saying but he could not bear it any longer so he decided to leave.

"I have got to run some errands for Mom", he said in a formal tone, masking his emotions and the vernability in his eyes.

"Oh! Ok. Thanks for coming. I will see you tomorrow",Melanie said in a soft voice.

Without saying another word Ronan turned on his heels and walked away. I understood what he felt. To love and not to be loved. For the first time I realized that I was not the only one suffering.

Melanie cleared her throat.

"Will you be ok by yourself ? Mom has a night shift and Dad's in another town. I hate to leave you alone. Melinda went to her friends house an hour ago. I can cancel the date and stay back if you want", Melanie said in a thoughtful tone,her blue eyes full of concern and warmth.

"No!I don't think that's necessary. I will be fine on my own. Go and enjoy that date."

She seemed to hesitate at first but then beamed and walked away. On her way out she closed the door softly and I found myself alone again. Not miserable like before but in pensive thoughts.

Only time knows what the future will entail but little did I know about the storms it will bring and the havoc it will cause...
