With great effort, he pushed it through the odds of their life and held her. She, on the other hand, was wavering with her thoughts about him and her family. She knew that he meant the world for her. Her heart skipped a beat when she thought about the “break-up” because he was lyrics in her song of life. He was the source of vision for her heart.
Her brain played their sequence of love like a dream. He didn’t steal her heart or impress her. He gave her the security that she longed for, a smile she wait for and an unending happiness she sought after. He didn’t promise her an affluent family but rather promised her a family filled with love and affection. He never insisted on romantic things to love her unconditionally. He instead found the entire “her” romantic. Her smile or the way she brushed her hair. He looked into her eyes and always found romantic poems to fall in love with. For him, her eyes told him untold stories of love. She was always a flower to him. A flower that didn’t shed off its plant. He held his flower like a plant and nurtured it with all the love he had. He bestowed his sense of romance and her world became colorful. She fought with him for their time together and he loved it because it was their time together. She always knew that he conquered her heart carefully and consciously. She on the other hand simply dragged him into her world of love and dipped him mercilessly.
She waged a war of love on him yet he found her like his child. She was ferocious yet affectionate. She melted him and hardened his heart at the same time. She loved him yet hated for loving him unconditionally. She demanded his affection yet she knew how much he loved her or rather respected her. He respected her thoughts and opinions.
Oh! In this beautiful relationship, what went wrong? The differences created by the society was a big obstruction she thought. She feared the moment her father would go negative on this. She loved him too much to hurt him. But she loved him more to let him go. She knew that her love for him could never die because it will never be love if it was put off by mere physical absence. Holding a heavy heart, she texted him, “we are done! We cannot carry this forward…” She expected a some sessions of quarrels between the two. Like always, he surprised her by replying, “Go and sleep sweetheart. I know you’ve cried and you need sleep. Good night for all the forthcoming night. Have a peaceful and long sleep. Sun will rise again.”
She was dumbstruck with his love for her. She couldn’t explain her love for him because she was no poet like him, but she immediately made a note on her dairy to get him back at any cost.
Sometimes physical absence does not mean the exit of a person. Out of sight is not out of mind. Life partner need not necessarily refer to the one you love. Love for a person is eternal. Circumstances may change the course of life but not the love for that someone.
