Dating : Cats Under the Stars

I saw two stray cats jumping over the ledge evermore discreetly outside my window — clandestinely walking past the rows of homes habituated by sleepy human owners.

When the sun is nowhere to be seen, these night creatures own the world.

I want to own the world with you.

Correction: You’ll own the world, and my job is just to understand it correctly.

The two cats remind me of us. I imagine us running on the fields under a vast expanse of stars. In that very moment, the world seems like ours to grasp and experience.

Do those cats feel the same way?

My goal in life is to experience the widest range of human emotions. Are there emotions cats experience but not humans?

When the two cats travelled joyfully, I could tell for certain that they are happy. But why are they happy?

Were they happy because of the presence of their loved one?

Or is it the classic thrill of doing things undiscovered?

Of travelling vast lands while everyone seems frozen in time — all activities ceasing to continue?

Is it perhaps because they feel like a segment of the day is dedicated all for their clandestine adventures?

I wish that one day, I can break free from only meeting you in the virtual world and to finally be able to see you in the real instead.

I want to travel the globe with you, ask these questions while waiting for the universe to bestow us answers along the path.

And to simply, simply, touch you so I know you’re real. I mean of course you must be real, you’re with me all along! But I can never be certain, for how is it that someone can be this good?

You are too good for me, the universe appears too kind for a moment to bestow someone like you into my life — do I even deserve you?

It’s strange, so very strange, that you exist at all, moreover with me and not taking advantage of me and instead loving me — just how is that possible?

Some things are too good to be true, yet strangely enough this one feels real.
