Few months back, me & a colleague discovered a young couple embarking upon what was evidentally first love. Easy enough tell-tale signs: the perpetual togetherness in class, the after-hours romancing, the not-going-home syndrome during holidays. It was kinda sweet to see puppy love gingerly testing out untried waters.
But trouble loomed ahead. Good times seldom last, as it is in real life. Somehow the folks back home got wind of trouble brewing and nipped the blooming plant right in the bud. Both obedient kids went their separate ways, much to the disappointment of many. I myself would have probably preferred a rebellious streak but that was not to be.
I suppose its good in a way that they opted wisely to part. Maybe its all for the best. But I cant help wondering what would have happened if for once people got to make their own decisions in life. Muchos romance for thought. At the present, perhaps we’re still a long way from there.
