Friends thought that it was a crush,
a superficial infatuation over a certain much coveted someone,
an unhealthy obsession based on physical appearance,
a perverse fantasy around self-simulated fairytale romance.
But
no, it was something more substantial yet impalpable,
it was a special connection that sparked at the instant we met,
a bizarre chemistry that struck with the frequency of lightning.
This amazing instantaneous click was what I missed
and found it hard to forget.

People are like puzzles.
You have to find the right pieces to click.
Once found, everything fits.
I'm forsaking all these cause I've had enough.
And I'm not hoping for anything else anymore.
After all,
lightning doesn't strike twice,
does it?
