The summer

Summer romances are never meant to last. She didn't know how it happened, she wasn't the kind that believed in cheating, she would certainly not advocate it. She didn't know if it was love. May be it was, may be it wasn't.But the pain,that was definitely there and she knew that was real. Why should she cry after all? She was going to get married to the guy who loved her to death but she wanted someone who gave her reasons to live. Sweetest things in life are always short lived, she had to let go and think of the life ahead.

He knew she was engaged to someone else. What attracted him was her spirit to live, the will to survive against all odds, that perhaps kept their hopes alive.. a hope to change life's fortune to their favour. Somebody has asked him," Was it love or just an attraction?" He didn't really know the answer to that one. For the first time in his life, he was happy, it was indeed the best summer of his life. And in a month's time she would be married and he would be forgotten.

He refused to believe that she could cheat on him. He loved her more than he loved himself,he worshipped her. He couldn't bear the idea of losing her. He was willing to forgive her and take her back. He knew she wasn't happy now,but he would prove her that their love was indeed true. "Summer romances never last and they never will", he thought to himself and smiled.
