Technology has revolutionised the world. I met Julie via a dating site a few months ago. She was from the East side of the Atlantic ocean. Despite the wide proximity between us,the bond we created between us was so strong.
She would call every night before going to bed and we would talk for hours. We would fantasise of all things we had planned to do the moment we met.
Truth be told I never felt so attached to someone i had never seen before. Whenever I came home from work, her call is all I could anticipate with much zest. Suddenly one night she never called! At first I was so worried but I assumed that maybe she retired to bed early. The following day, the situation was the same. Days turned to weeks and weeks to months still nothing. When I tried reaching out for her, i got no response. Myriads of queries lingered in my mind. Was she Ok? Was Julie even real to begin with? Did she love me like she claimed? For months i had sleepless nights, lost in deep thoughts. Julie had become my addiction and we all know how hard quitting is. I later found out that Julie had someone else! Someone other than me. It was a hard fact to accept. She left without even saying a word. I guess the emotional attachment we had meant nothing. I felt betrayed and engulfed in total sorrow. As i went through our past messages and call logs, recalling how we confessed love to each other, tears of melancholy cascaded down my visage.
Reality hit me that "JULIE'S WORDS WERE NOTHING BUT EMPTY
