Love Letter!

Dear beloved,

"Ah! Could I behold the face of my beloved once more, I would give thanks unto my God until the day of resurrection." In it was inscribed, in the tomb of Anarkali, who gave up her life for love ! Well, I know maybe my love isn't as great as hers,,, but as they say every love has its own greatness, every heart has its own love, and every love story is binded by hearts !

Hey love, I still remember the day when it all first started, and I know not, why I fell that I had known you since ages, since years, since decades, since centuries, since millenials; over all the previous lifetimes! I fell I had always loved you, completely , honestly and truly, forever and ever, for this life and the next and for all to follow !

Maybe, that is why my soul craved for yours; my heart craved for yours and my eyes would calm down at the sight of yours; my ears would play melodious tunes when the voice of yours would struck them; my entire life would revolve around you and your scent and your touch !

All through my life I loved you, like no one else could and maybe, that is why my soul teared into pieces when you left ! Do you know how many long nights I spent looking at your photo, at our pictures..? "Our"? I didn't even have the right to call them "Our" because you weren't mine anymore !

How many times I went back to those places, how much time I spent going back there, places where we smiled and laughed.. But well, I could never get enough of them ! How many sleepless nights I spent, praying to all the Gods, wishing that if I ever loved you through the core of my heart even once, you would come back...

You know what they say.. “And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” Maybe, they say it truly, I had always believed in it, and in believing they say, lies the power of the heart and the soul....

You know we were entirely different beings, you being the perfect one and I being the crazy one ! But it fell like we were two bodies with the same soul.. And thus I would drown in your brown eyes, everytime I looked at them, and I looked and looked till eternity, but it was never enough...

From afar I'd watch you run, how you were different from all the people in the world.. And how your bun would loosen and then untie, and would dance in the air.. Ah ! How I wish if I could behold it forever .....

But years and afar, my prayers were heard, you came back out of nowhere, when I had lost all the hopes, when I feared my condition would be like all those girls who lamented for their beloved and when I started feeling you were among those guys which mamma asked me to be careful from...

Ginger teas, little toffees, dark chocolates, scent of the soil, those long journeys, advent of the rain and all the pain, we made a love story like no one else... Loving you was not a choice, keeping you always was... And I chose you, over everyone else, over everything else.. No one else, just you, in the swarm of all those people who came and went..even though you and I were never the same, yet..." Us " happened .. For eternity !

O Love, I would always love you despite every little thing.. I would prefer you over every silly thing of yours.. if I would have been given a thousand more choices, I would choose you over and over again ! For ever and ever....

Yours,
Always and forever
