A Perfect Life…With You

Nothing I can hold onto
everything just passess through me.
without your gentle touch
I am not the man I wanna be.
Can’t see  shining or dark
things in front of me.
I live to feel your breath,
closer to you, I am free.

I don’t wanna live forever
but I wanna live it with you.
I don’t know what my God looks like,
but I know he lives in you.

 

I know what forever means.

I lived it,
when I loved you.

Loving You…For Not Who You Are

She woke up to a perfect bright day. Her room was illuminated with the beads of golden sunshine filtering down from the translucent window glass. The wind chimes had never been out of their symphony as they were gently swayed by the humming wind. This was another perfect day.

She could hardly concentrate on her work as the thoughts of meeting him later on were too captivating. There was a certain evident restlessness in her which she tried her best to hide. She would smile just by thinking of him and try to conceal it at the same time. She was cautious enough not to let anyone know the reason behind her new found anticipation.

The weather had taken a change of emotions suddenly. Dark clouds had arrived uninvited and the slight breeze had taken the twist of nuisance. Her trepidations became louder and she could hear her palpitations as she approached the corner of the street where she had been meeting him since the last one month.

It was already raining heavily when she noticed him standing with his back against the wall. He had arrived early as always and was drenched in the drowning downfall – dripping wet as he waited for her to come.

They could meet only here everyday and this moment was something none of them wanted to miss. After these 10 minutes or so together, they had to go their ways apart with the killing uncertainty of tomorrow.

The best part about being in love is that you would never know when it happened, how it happened and what made it happen. It just happens.

She hugged his shivering frame tightly as they met. He tried to show that it was not a big deal getting drenched. But he also knew that he cannot fake it in front of her. So, he didn’t try too hard to either. She took her scarf and gently wiped his hands.

He was just in awe of her being so beautiful and innocently true.

Suddenly, she saw her father standing on the other side of the road watching them both. Worried about his daughter, he had come to pick her up. She could see the lack of expression on her father’s face which spoke of only one thing – discomfort.

Frightened, she let his hands go. Taking small heavy steps she started walking towards her father.

Heartbroken, he could just watch her go.

She sat inside the car, avoiding any eye contact with her father. Her father gave a stern look at him. Surprised that her daughter could sacrifice her comfort and gentleness for someone like him.

He sat next to her and closed the car door. One look at her beloved princess and he could feel her heartbreak. Something he never wished her to know.

Her father gave a look at the wet and grimy frame of his. Then turned slowly towards her daughter and said, “You can get that puppy home, if you wish.”

A large smile conquered the face of his 10 year old daughter.

He, unknowingly, just celebrated her first love !
