Good Vibes Bring Love

Neha Sandhir S Prompt ‘Good Vibes’

Dominic Lucas was anti-social and often called weird. He had no friends, and he didn’t talk a lot. Every Tuesday, he would go to The Splendid Place. A cute homely café a few blocks from his apartment. He would sit at the same table, order the same thing, coffee and cinnamon wholewheat bagel.
He would sit and read for an hour, then get up and leave without touching his order. He would always leave a ten-dollar tip. Sofia Bellany smiled each time he came in. He would be eyeing her while pretending to be reading his book. So one day, she decided to ask: You come here every Tuesday, at the same time And sit in the corner at the back looking so divine You’d attempt to read your book upside down Always smiling in my direction even when I frown Yes, I see the light in your eyes calling out to me But I also see the fear, longing to be free
Dominic smiled and replied: Yea, I get good vibes When I look into your eyes But I also see your darkness Awaiting my bright light
Sofia smiled and responded: So you get good vibes Just from looking into my eyes
Dominic answered: Also, from your smile, And how you handle yourself when customers get hostile Your calming personality That you show without vanity Have you ever met a guy Who just give you good vibes
She laughed and said, “I think I just did.” When we are different, we are often called cruel names, and weird is one of them. Being different makes us unique, so many searches for something different and unique in others. And when we find it, we call it love.
What do you call it?
