Dear Love,
How time flies, right? It’s funny
how some people view the intensity of a relationship with the number of years
you have spent with your beloved. I ask, what has number of days or months to
do with it? Perhaps, they don’t know, and rightly so, of every single hour we
would take out from our schedules to simply see each other, talk or share that
happiness that enwrapped us when we were together; of the longing of meeting
after one month or two weeks even as we stayed in the same city; of the despair
that left the heart morose for it could not reach out to the other, when they needed us the most; of the drive that
smothered us alive and burnt us into ashes, even as we breathed our empty
breaths, to meet, not to talk, but simply be, in space, in love and in that
moment. Perhaps, they also don’t know of the weight of the wait, a phrase which
became a usual rhyme, only to fill the heart till the brim, till it rained at
the other shore. And what of the words that were exchanged and the letters that
were written, they know not how preciously we have edged them like jewels found
in this lifetime, till death do us apart. And they know not that no matter how
many times the same words are spoken and said to the beloved, every single
time, they bring a smile, and soothe this heart, which yearns for more and more
and more……….
Words, at times, forget how
precious they can be, how truly greatful can someone be as s/he reads them at
the other end. I still find myself wondering upon the definition of love or the
fact if it’s an emotion at all for it is felt like lungs breathing air, it’s
just there!
Today, as this another wonderful
year comes to a close, I shall not thank you, knowing that you don’t particularly
like it, yet I shall repeat myself, for I know how blessed am I to have
befriended you, known you every single day and fallen more in love with, even as
we had our share of disagreements. Isn’t it enchanting, how love can teach us
to continue to love each other even as the other acts in ways which we would
completely detest? Most importantly, I’m blessed to have you for all the
optimism you have always showered at this shore, on days, when arid winter
winds would break the bones; for being a believer of discussions and talks, and
for you simply being that super awesome ‘you’….
For all that and more
Yours Forever
