Imagine this.
You've wanted this thing for the longest time.
You've dreamt about It, both in the day and night.
You've created little scenarios in your head of what you would say when people ask you about It in the future.
"I love It! I've never felt better...we're a match made in heaven!", you'd reply.
Oh, that feeling of bliss when you'll hold It to your pounding heart.
You cross out the days on your calendar till the day It'll be yours.
All yours.
Thoughts of It flood your mind and you think of nothing else.
You keep a picture of It in your wallet, iPod, computer, car, bathroom...and your heart.
You ask if it's love, or just infatuation.
You're not sure. But you don't really bother.
On the last night of eager anticipation, you stare at the cross filled calendar.
Oh, how many teary eyed gazes it had endured from you.
"Thanks, for being here for me. You've taunted me time and time again by making me waiting so long, so long. But it'll soon be over, and I thank you for teaching me patience." with that, you take the black marker that's so familiar to you and draw a firm 'x'.
You lie in your (now) lonely bed and give a resounding sigh.
How slowly the past months crawled by.
There were days when you felt that you wanted to throw in the towel.
Your heart felt a whip lash across it whenever you see someone else with their own.
How blessed they looked.
How much you envied them.
But you knew your day would come.
All you had to do...was wait.
You looked out for possible candidates, but in vain.
They were either too unfriendly, too aesthetically unpleasing or just plain overrated.
But that very fateful day arrived.
That day, you noticed It.
It took your breath away.
Its charm, Its intellect, Its good looks...It was the epitome of perfection.
You knew It was THE ONE.
THE ONE that people say only appears once in your lifetime.
From that day on, you worked towards It, getting to know It better, loving It more and more each day, after day, after day...
Your eyelids are getting heavier.
You know it's time for you to rest.
It's going to be one hell of an emotional, life changing day tomorrow...
You wake up to the warm beams of the sun caressing your face.
You jump out of bed, get dressed and head out.
You take light, brisk steps.
The feeling is so surreal.
You run into a stranger and he gives you a smile.
The whole world seems to smile when you're happy.
You step into the designated place and you feel like you're floating on cloud nine.
The time had finally arrived.
You wait expectantly for those special words...and that special package.
And then the words are dropped...
Like a bomb.
You can't believe your ears.
No.
No.
No.
This cannot be true.
Your mind is frozen.
You can't think straight.
You can't even cry.
You ask again.
The answer refuses to budge...
"I'm sorry...but...THAT PHONE MODEL YOU'RE REQUESTING IS NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION!".
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
GOTCHA!!!
Were you thinking of something else?
Sheesh.
I got inspiration for this spur of the moment thing because I was supposed to get a new phone today cuz my current one screws up quite a bit...BUT I realised I have to wait six more days till the 21 month contract's over...so I can pay less for a new one.
HAHA!!
I was so looking forward to one, though.
Oh well.
Six days to go!!
