"This is the one." The universe assures me from behind the counter.
"But I thought you said the last one was the one." I reply.
"No." Says the universe. "I sold you that one so you would know that this, this is the one."
"Is there another one?" I ask the universe.
"I can't tell you." They reply. "It'd ruin the surprise."
This one is perfect. Bravo, sirs!
ReplyDeleteSo this one is it? THIS one? If you're sure, then I'M sure.
ReplyDeleteAnd just like the last one, I won't doubt you, even if you're wrong. I'll go. After all, the best person to have blind faith in would be the universe, right?
ReplyDeleteIain, u have hit the nail on the head. Light-hearted and profound simultaneously... well done :)
ReplyDeleteYes!!!
ReplyDeleteahh perfect.
ReplyDeletedear universe,
ReplyDeleteeven though he hurt me, thanks for sending me that last one that i thought was "the one". because i know now that i'll know for sure when the real one comes around, because you'll make sure it happens. perfectly.
xoxo
Once again, I understand and you understand me so well. Amazing. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the last one, Universe. I'm waiting for the next delivery. It seems a bit late in coming. But I trust that it will be arriving at the right moment. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the headline, sounds ironic and romantic at the same time!
ReplyDeletehello universe,
ReplyDeleteI know I complain a lot about not being able to tell who "the one" is but honestly? I appreciate all the nice little surprises :) (even if they are for rent)
wonderful Iain.I absolutely love this one.
The last one was indeed the one.
ReplyDeleteThis one is just the replacement and I will settle.
You are a god.
ReplyDeleteThis is perfection.
Very clever, nice perspective.
ReplyDeleteThere is no The One. You make it happen. Appreciate the one you have.
Pefectly written! made me read it alot of times =)
ReplyDeleteI'll take one please.
ReplyDeleteI like this one a lot. Funny how reading things like this make you rethink your own life. Even when it's things you already know.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Roald Dahl couldn't have put a better twist in the tale. G =]
ReplyDeleteThis is the absolute perfect post to have be written for me on my 21st birthday.
ReplyDeleteTo know that there could possibly be a next one.
I'm looking toward to my surprise
