Have you ever noticed how thin the borders are? The border between listening to rock music and country music, the border between telling the truth and lying, the border between loving the wrinkles around your eyes and the Botox, the border between choosing to stay as a nurse and studying for MCAT, the border between saying yes to a marriage proposal and a no? The borders are thin, and we live everyday of our lives on a border. The border of making a decision, which might change our lives. Tbe borders which might lead us to what we’ve always dreamed for. But what did we dream for? Do we really know?

Shhhhhhh..... (2)

Have you ever been sitting at a table beside this person who happens to be your partner but you long for the person across the table?
No?! It hasn’t happened to me either.

Shhhhhhh...


We used to be close, very close. Now we’re lying on the bed, one foot apart, fully dressed, staring at ceiling.

.: You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.

-: Your skin … your smell… made me fly …. Every time…

.: I fell in love with you the moment I met you. You never ...

-:I loved you too; you know it ...

.: (smile)

-: When is your wedding?

.: Next summer.




(Silence)




-: Is she beautiful?

.: She is.

-: Is she nice?

.: She is.

-: I’m happy for you.

.: I don’t want to do anything. I want to stay in this bed with you forever. This is all I want. To lie down next to you for the rest of my life.

-: (smile).

.: You’ve always laughed. You never understood. You’re a potato. You’re a stone. Stone would have softened , but you never did.

-: (smile) Can I hold your hand?

.: Why does it have to end like this? Like one of these artsy stories I hate.

-: (smile)

Shhhhhh… everything’s gonna be alright …..
