The Frozen Pond of my Heart

The frozen pond of my heart I found myself sitting in the family room alone contemplating will I always be alone or am I destined to find the one. My Mother had been insisting for a long time now that I find someone. But my heart had been like a frozen pond now for a long time, it had to be melted. Who will be the one to do this? I searched every-where and then I finally found him. He appeared like a traveller with his camel traversing across the hot terrain of the desert, tired but hopeful looking for his oasis. He seemed of some interest to me. Then I started to open up to him and the frozen pond of my heart started to melt. The late spring and early summer weeks went by. We would talk about anything and everything. The day would pass like a beautiful summer breeze since he came in my life and the frozen pond of my heart was starting to crack. As it started to crack the water would gush forth and my heart would feel alive. Until finally one day the frozen pond became a beautiful stream bringing forth life and I was happy. I decided to spend the rest of my life with him. All preparations for my wedding were being made.
