the memorial day

Hey..

Clear night sky. Twinkling stars.. Slow cool breeze...The right amount of light....The right amount of darkness.......She was there.......Waving, smiling & waiting.........

It was as if it was all a dream. It was as if none of this ever happened. It was as if they never knew each other. It ended abruptly, just the way it began.

He loved her. He adored her. He liked the way she smiled. He liked the way she yawned. He liked the way she bit her lip when she swore by mistake. He liked the way she called him. He liked the way she didnt return his call. He liked everything about her.

She was all he wanted. She was his life. She was in his dreams, eyes closed or open. She was the only person who could increase his heart rate in milliseconds with a glance.

They met as friends. They talked and talked and talked. They chatted for hours together. They gifted each other for every silly reason. They seemed just the perfect match. They seemed to be as if in love.

And it all ended. In one shot. She fell in love with someone and was out of his life, forever.

She moved on. But it was a sudden brake for him. He didnt know what to do with himself. He fought his tears. He fought his feelings. He fought for unbreaking his heart. He fought to continue his daily life. He fought his growing beard. He fought every memory of her in everything that he saw. And he tried to move on...

What is this four lettered word - love - actually mean ? Is this just a sudden impulse, an abstract meaningless entity, an urge or a temporary solution to a wandering mind in a confused stage ? What is this energy that brings in two less known people so close that they can forget everything else in and about the whole world ? What is this strong force that can give unimaginable strength to the weakest person at yet make the most powerful person astoundingly weak ? What is this sensation that has the power to remain strong and torture one long after the actual relation has been broken ? What is this feeling that has the might to remain alive and ensure a very slight smile to oneself on seeing a photograph, a coffee shop, a cinema, corner bench of a park ...

Clear night sky. Twinkling stars.. Slow cool breeze...The right amount of light....The right amount of darkness.......She wasnt around.......Silence........

And he hummed........

Someday, When Iam off little low,
When the world is cold,
I will always feel a glow
Just thinking of you....

Chao..
