So while at work, in our Johannesburg office the other day….there
I am typing away in response to an email when a car pulls up - we have a view
of the parking area - and out comes a guy who walks around to the passenger
side and kindly opens the door, out steps a very well put together women with
an extremely satisfying yet unassuming look on her face. She waits, he closes
the door, looks at her for what feels like a minute, but a mere 3 seconds and
kisses her, they hug and off she goes into some other office close to mine.
There I was, at that moment I realise I was the only one to witness this modern
day chivalry, alone, in complete bewilderment.
As sad as it is to admit, I don’t think I have ever seen
that in real life, besides in suggestive romantic comedies! Oh how I wish that
was me. I’d like to think of myself as a bit of a feminist, but I’m also a huge
fan of old school romance, good old simple romance goes a loooong way with me,
and sometimes I think that is what this world is lacking. And it works both
ways, my heart just gushed witnessing their special little moment, reminded me
again, how simple it is to show one another appreciation and love, it is not always
necessary for big gestures, but ultimately, it IS the small things that count, simple manners, being courteous,
respectful and appreciative. Hope to find this in my Prince Charming one day J
Peace and love x
