An Old Piece of Her Diary

She has never been good with words. She has never been subtle enough to hide her feelings. She has always been so straightforward that sometimes people got offended by the way she thinks.

If he was the moon, she was the eclipse.

If he was the petals, she was grass on the ground.

If he was the softest touch, she was the toughest act in the world.

If he was the pristine perfume in a bottle, she was empty dry mushy smell of an old crispy flower.

Well, as a typical love story ….the rolls did not reverse. They just merged into one.

I should start from the beginning, shouldn’t I?

She was always acting way above her age. He was ...well… u know… Innocent as a newborn.

It was nothing but a random meet. It’s just two person talking shop and sharing small pieces of thoughts every day. She was a bit of a thunder while he was as cold as ice. He was very shy to start a conversation and she was too. But somehow it worked out and they started talking like nothing else in the world mattered anymore.

Well, let me start again.

Life was as hectic as always. The same old run for money, success and happiness. Breathing was getting hard for her and suffocation visited her on a daily basis. She kept on wishing when this life will end… she kept on staring at that vial of medicine which gave her relief from the pain she goes through every-day.

As she was getting older… strength was draining out of her body.

Along came he… No one ever knew this simple man would change so much about her. And it happened. She is peaceful when she is with him. It is as soothing as walking over wet grass after the morning dew gently splashed their green blades.

He was oblivious of the fact that something was about to change between them. She was too. It kept on happening on a daily… sorry… on a ‘momentarily’ basis. Time became more precious and they both started to breathe life in. The lost souls found each other and they started surviving better in the wild. They did not even realize that they can’t even stay apart for a second. Somehow they stayed connected all the time.

Whether it’s a dream they started seeing together or not… they did not know… They only knew they can’t stay away from each other. No matter how hard they tried, living without each other became impossible. Every second they started thinking of each other. She worn out her keyboard because she was writing to him all the time. His phone memory got full of her love and oh well… with thousands of texts. His diary became full of small handwritten notes from her and her memory became full of the surprises he gave every day.

Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon.

She never knew these things was actually possible. She always read about this feelings in story books or she had watched them in movies. Sigh… oh its happening… its real… Love finally consumed her… In a very good way of course. They realized at the same time that…

It’s nothing that makes u slow in life. It does not make u more impatient than u already are. It does not make u possessive or cruel. It does not takes your purpose away for living.

There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around each other.

Its gives u a reason to live a life. It finally shows u the purpose of your existence.

She was scared it might be an obstacle. She was distracted by the thought of losing him. She was frightened that the world might not take it normally and might not let them be together.

He finally held her hand and soothed her. He told her he would not let that happen no matter what. He was sparkling bright under that soft yellow light of their favorite cafe when he told her they were meant to be. That was the brightest smile she ever gave in life. That was the loudest heartbeat she ever heard from his chest.

She knew he was not lying. He had those eyes which made her trust him with all her heart. That foolish insecurity was gone with a soft assuring touch of his hand on hers.

He finally gave her strength. He gave her lost courage back. He gave her back her life. He brought her back from the dead with just a few simple words.

He had such powerful words.

Well, this story does not end here. This is just the beginning of something beautiful. Something pre-determined. Something that was bound to happen, naturally. It happened accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.

They know it’s not going to be easy. They know they have to work hard on it every-day. But they know if they stick together, nothing but good will happen. They wanted each other for life, all of each other … forever. They found each other’s dream and they found themselves.

This is beautiful. Life has never been so beautiful, so real.

She finally found peace and he found her.
