Starting off the thread with this:"He watched her walk towards his direction, crossed his fingers that this time it's because of him, and not just because of the MRT card he's selling.
When at last she reached his ticket booth and gave him that warm smile, his heart knew, and soared."

Seven years after, nothing has changed, he knows it will always be a "no." And he knows that he has doomed himself to a Sisyphean life, a life of useless, endless pining.

About you: Hi, I'm Angus, 5'6", slim, seeking someone who will always be there in the morning.(view spoiler)
"The first time I did it, I didn't realize I was already cheating."Which is how you started telling her about what happened to us.
(view spoiler)
I thought you and she are just friends, same level as you and I, until an ecstatic text message I received from her proved me wrong and broke my heart.Three years later, I'm glad you and I are still just friends, or he wouldn't have arrived and fixed this heart.
From a friendly greeting of peace to a tender kiss, it all happened on our favorite church pew. The pealing bell above us confirms that yes, this hour and the million hours after is indeed ours.

"There is nothing wrong with us but it's not right either.
One day, someone will walk into my life and make me see why it's never right with you."

"Their wrinkled hands held tight as they ride the ferris wheel, she giggled like the first time he brought her there. She had the best rides, with him, for 50 years."

"She signed the papers; he smiled, then she handed him back their wedding ring." [From Aenna]As he stood up and left the cafe, she wondered why through her own smile, her eyes were wet with tears.
"The lights are off, the curtains are drawn," she whispered in his ear, "you can stop acting."He grabbed her hand as she started to walk away and said, "With you, it had never been an act."

Come back.An dissonant melody lingered - a distant memory remembered, as she stared into the nothingness of the day.

[LAST TWO DAYS for you guys to write sequels! This thread will be closed at midnight tomorrow. Best two-line love stories will be announced on March 1.]
"Every day starts with coffee for me, and with the morning paper for him; then, it ends with me on the left side of the bed, him on the right, and deafening silence in between. " (Louize's one liner)I looked at him, ready to be pissed off with how he chose the morning paper over me, but then I noticed his eyes, his knotted brows as he reads the paper, and realized how I fell in love with this man, and he didn't change; I just did.
[Last 3 hours to write your one-line love story sequels, folks!]

He watched her walk towards his direction, crossed his fingers that this time it's because of him, and not just because of the MRT card he's selling.
ONE-LINE SEQUEL
The sun spills through the windows, while our feet tangle under the sheets.
Five more minutes, you said; I nodded and held you closer as we drifted back to slumberland.

Remember THIS, your one-line love stories? This time around, we invite you to take one of the stories submitted as entries there and write your one-line sequels. The first line doesn’t have to be yours – all entries are fair game – and write the second line. Simple, yes? :)
Here are the rules!
(1) No word count limit, again, but make sure that it will not exceed ONE LINE.
(2) You can use ANY of the entries in the first thread; you’re NOT RESTRICTED to your own entries.
(3) However, the number of times you can write sequels should not exceed the number of your entries in the first thread. For example: Aaron wrote 4 one-line love stories. So, he is only allowed 4 one-line sequels. (view spoiler)[I have a tally sheet of all the entries so don’t do anything funny, haha. (hide spoiler)]
(4) Does this mean this meme is restricted only to those who participated in the first one? No, but first-time participants are only allowed ONE entry/sequel.
(5) Again, please observe the one entry = one post/comment rule.
(6) What if the first line that you want has already been used? No problem; write your sequel anyway. There are no dibs on the first lines.
(7) This thread will be closed on February 28 at 11:59pm.
(8) Thereafter, all two-line love stories will be collated for judging. The best two-line love story will be announced on March 1. The writers of both love lines will receive shiny, sparkly stamps on their passports plus a surprise gift from me. If you wrote both lines of the winning two-line love story, then you get all the stamps and prizes!
All clear? Write away, loves! :)
