When love chooses you...

THE PAST:

When did you go so far from me, how could you go? Why? I stay away only for your happiness but still I feel you are not happy with what you chose. Why do I feel you don’t want to stay quiet, you want to talk to me! Why do I feel the emptiness in my heart is mirrored in yours? Why do I feel that us looking busy with our lives is just a cover, a sham. In reality, we want to be with each other. I never thought leaving you would leave a hole in my heart and soul. I feel hollow inside. How and when did you become my whole life instead of just a part? You don’t trust me and my faith in you is blind. So much happened, our talks, the joy, the laughter, the companionship...The memories we made with each other.  The love that we feel for each other….all this and …

One fine day we open our eyes to the fact that you are trying to walk away. And every day, I fix a plastic smile on my face; hide the tears in my eyes. I love you so much and I am falling apart by the burden of our separation. I miss you – you, my friend, my love, my soulmate, my perfect life partner. I can’t pretend anymore to manage without you. I need you, my life. I need you, my best friend, I need you. I love you, I love the person you are, I love the soul I saw, and I love the amazing persona I encountered. I love everything about you, just as you are.

THE PRESENT:

Racing with him to office and letting him lead, when he saw me ahead of him, he increased his speed. I let him lead for I want him to stay ahead of me, not here but in all walks of life. Then he suddenly turned around and I had a good look at him. Later when I went to his office for some work, I was so aware of his presence I could hardly talk to people around me. Later he started teasing me about always forgetting my bike keys in my office. I knew he was right behind me the other time, even if he thinks I did not notice. It was damn hard to control the urge to turn around and give him a big hug….just for being there and adding so much happiness in my life.

Today we had a lover’s tiff and I started crying. When I asked him to give him some time to calm down, he chose to stay with me through it and let me cry. Once I was done, I was surprised to hear the familiar horn of his bike right outside my door. He came home and said sorry so tenderly and sincerely. I have no choice but to fall head over heels in love with this person. He leaves me none.
