Solitary love

I unwrapped the box.
There was a note with the silently ticking watch.

He: "If you say yes, forever begins now."

She: "Amidst forever-s, can we talk of now-s?"

He: "Why can't you let the 90s R&B feel of love take over us?"

She: "That fairy tale romance is left good for movies. And I don't have patience to watch movies!"

He: "How is it that you never watch movies? What exactly do you do when you are in your safe place?"

She: "I feel safe."

He: "You feel safe and.."

She: "I feel happy then."

He: "You feel happy and..?"
He asked once again.

She: "Happiness is the state of mind which doesn't let you do anything. Bliss as the world calls it."
She kicked it off again.

He: "There is always a yin attached to the yang. Till you fail to see them you will not be real."
He is a philosopher.

She: "Reality is bound by your imagination. Which is an illusion."
She loved words.

He: "People may imagine because they don't want to acknowledge the problem that can easily be fixed."
He is a realist.

She: "Imagination transports you into beautiful spaces which might or might not exist."
She is fictional.

He: "Truth is beautiful."
He is real.

She: "Beauty is subjective."
She loves debates.

He: "Beauty is objective."
He doesn't give up.

She: "Difference of opinion is the beauty of different perspectives."
She loves tough people.

He: "Agreeing to disagree is the biggest problem the world is facing."
He sees the bigger picture.

She: "Agreeing to disagree mellows you down and lets you be comfortable in being uncomfortable."
She prefers intricacies.

He: "Discomfort is a problem waiting to be solved."
He is a problem solver.

She: "Problems are not meant to be solved before analyzing."
She loves conversations.

He: "Don't analyze when you can embrace it."
He won't give up.

She: "Embrace what you know can be yours."
She drew the line again.

He: "Knowing and feeling are two different things, and feeling is what counts."
He is hopeful.

She: "I don't feel anything."
She isn't hopeful.

He: "..Yet!"
He is sure.

She: "No, this isn't happening."
She thinks she's sure too.

He: "You are one adamant woman. I'm in awe of you."
He is insistent.

She: "Whatever you're seeking won't come in the form you're expecting."
She is half-hearted.

He: "Murakami!"
He quipped. She smiled. Her favorite author marked the end of a solitary love for things.
