A Lovely Love Story


~ by Edward Monkton ~


The fierce Dinosaur was trapped inside his cage of ice. Although it was cold he was happy in there. It was, after all, HIS cage.


Then along came the Lovely Other Dinosaur.


The Lovely Other Dinosaur melted the Dinosaur's cage with kind words and loving thoughts.


I like this Dionsaur, thought the Lovely Other Dinosaur. Although he is fierce he is also tender and he is funny. He is also quite clever though I will not tell him this for now.


I like this Lovely Other Dinosaur, thought the Dinosaur. She is beautiful and she is different and she smells so nice. She is also a free spirit which is a quality I much admire in a dinosaur.


But he can be so distant and so peculiar at times, thought the Lovely Other Dinosaur.


He is also overly fond of Things. Are all Dinosaurs so overly fond of Things?


But her mind skips from here to there so quickly, thought the Dinosaur. She is also uncommonly keen on Shopping. Are all Lovely Other Dinosaurs so uncommonly keen on shopping?


I will forgive his peculiarity and his concern for Things, thought the Lovely Other Dinosaur. For they are part of what makes him a richly charactered individual.


I will forgive her skipping mind and her fondness for shopping, thought the Dinosaur. For she fills our life with beautiful thought and wonderful surprises. Besides, I am not unkeen on shopping either.


Now the Dinosaur and the Lovely Other Dinosaur are old. Look at them.


Together they stand on the hill telling each other stories and feeling the warmth of the sun on their backs.


And that, my frends, is how it is with love. Let us all be Dinosaurs and Lovely Other Dinosaurs together.


For the sun is warm. And the world is a beautiful place.

curiosity killed the cat, jealously killed xinpei.

yes, i know it doesnt rhyme but yes, i know you know what i mean.

met someone today who told me very hurtful things.
i really hope it is his character to put across things like that but i am really (already) affected. :/
i never knew that was the impression i left for others.
'fierce', 'arrogant or should i say bossy'
goodness.
it's quite amazing that i am affected to such an extent that even though i met 2 of my best friends today, the happiness which i have does not neutralise the sadness. :(
