An Oasis in the Desert

After a very long journey in the hot and humid desert, I’ve finally found an oasis. I’ll rest a bit my weary bones, enjoy the refreshing water before I’ll go and finish my journey.

I see him just like an oasis, a shelter. He may not be a specialist, a diplomate or a fellow, but he had made the impossible, fixing my broken heart. Something that I thought will happen in a period of a year or 2 years time. My sister told me, to quickly fix my brokenness, move fast, and meet people and date, since I am not really getting any younger. Time is critical. Outside I may look fresh from college, but my ova are quite old. LOL

I actually noticed him last May,liking my wall posts. But I just ignored it; I was even asking myself if we met in college. Something that I can’t remember until now, If I even said “Hi” to him when we we’re undergrads. I am really like that, when my focus is on one thing I ignore other things that blocks my way. It is one of my very irritating traits. Or I may just be loyal or too goal oriented.

But last December I finally had a glimpse of him since his facebook page is active. Amusing wall posts, a comic relief. It’s really nice to see someone, who is very much bored with his work could find time to amuse people. And then just before January ends, he made this stupid post on his wall, advertising that he’s online and wants to chat. Bored like him, I talked to him through FB chat.

And from that moment on, we’ve been friends. It’s nice to talk with a batch mate in college, almost the same interest, and queer though that at our age we are both single. At this age where most of our colleagues and other batch mates have kids; and even some are on their second marriages.

For now, I see him as an oasis, a shelter, a refuge. It’s okay if he won’t stay for a very long while; I want to say thanks because for a short period of time, He had brought my senses back and made me see life on the other perspective.

Now I agree to what Joshua Harris wrote on his book “I Kissed Dating Goodbye”, which he says, “To girls reading this book, a reminder to keep your standards high. Require all things that are grand and true. As you consider the possibility of marriage, don’t lower your standards for a moment; any guy who asks you to do so isn’t worth your time.”

I believe God has the best plans for me. He’ll never let down His church organist.
