She wants to try it again, the thing called love, the relationship. But she doesn’t know if she should; she’s contemplating, the biggest dilemma in her life, maybe.
Staring at a picture they took together, swamped in nostalgia, memories they made. Emefa remembered that photo. It was on her birthday. Ronnie had surprised her with a promise ring, to be with her forever. Obviously, that couldn’t happen. But whose fault was it? She knew she was partly to blame. So many things can go wrong when the relationship is a distant one, so many distractions.
Still staring at the picture, her sight not fixed, but wandering on the two people who used to be love birds. Rubbing her fingers on his lips as if she could feel them through her Samsung screen. She remembered how it happened, the night when he told her he couldn’t fulfill his promise. He had seen a text message on her phone, a message that broke him.
It was just a kiss, at least that’s what she thought it was. Emefa felt sorry though, but she didn’t know it was going to lead to a breakup. Sad how things ended. She didn’t want him to find out that way, but what was done was done. She had expected him to give her a second chance.
Days after he left, he called to patch things up, breathe life into their dead attraction. She had told him she didn’t want to bring pain into his life again, guilt of course. Ronnie had begged her, cried on the phone. Weeks later she called him, told him she wanted to try again. He told her the spot was taken. That broke her.
It’s been months. Ronnie had broken up with the new girl. Ronnie says he still wants to patch things up. He claims he didn’t have a connection with the new girl like he had with her, says he still yearns for her, like a man yearns for water on a desert. She believes him.
She wants to try it again, the thing called love, the relationship. But she doesn’t know if she should; she’s contemplating, the biggest dilemma in her life, maybe.
