A Fairytale Start, but Ending?

Let me tell you a story...

A girl from a faraway land met a guy, playing the piano at an arts festival on a rainny day. The pianist courted her for half a year and stole her heart. After she returned to her homeland, they try to keep in touch... But alas, it's not always that easy...

That's the start of the story.. like a fairytale being written...

And a fairytale it might really be... for sometimes the relationship seems so intangible to the girl. So far-fetched that she can't grasp it. She is trying hard to work towards a happy ending, but can't see the goal in sight.

If a relationship is like a thread linking two people, and how tight the string is held relates to the strength of the relationship, how can the string ever have any tension if only one of the two hands holding the string makes the effort to pull? And in time, won't that hand get tired?

Every relationship needs effort to be built upon, and the effort must come from both parties. The girl in the story is starting to feel a little tired. She tries so hard to pull her string tight, but it doesn't seem to yield any effect. Is the pianist just holding on to the string or is he pulling too? Somehow, I get the feeling it's the former.

Then again, maybe the girl should just be glad that he hasn't let go of the string as yet. For if he lets go, can she too? Probably not.

The girl is starting to crave for a little pampering and a little concrete indication that she matters to him, but can the pianist sense that? Will the girl burn out soon in this relationship? Or will it be a happy ending? Only time can tell.
