Skipping Beats

Today made yesterday seem like a joke. Not because of the birthday cake with a laughable message. Not because of my goofy friends who made me smile with their crazy antics and lovable gifts. Not because of the fun activities.Today was better than yesterday because of a single greeting. A single promise. A single sorry.Funny how one person can change the course of your emotions in a flash. You are caught red-handed. The unexpected turn of events make your little heart flutter. Cliched, but when you feel it yourself, it is one of the most magical things in life.I guess admiration can do it. The magic, I mean. Or maybe, there is something deeper than admiration. Infatuation. Obsession. The silly things. Some can say it is immature, but for me, the smallest things count. Every speck is important to make you whole.I really want to laugh at myself for letting that warmth in my chest evade my thoughts. But, can you blame me? Tell me, can you blame me for being lovestruck?

Especially when that person is the one you are waiting for so long?
