Valediction

Valediction

One day she stepped into my mundane life like no one ever did. Like an angel in rescue, she glided into my thoughts and renovated my   existence.   My world was almost collapsed in the absence of someone who would share the burden of loneliness I was carrying. I was weary and often felt restless of walking a long route of life all own my own. Even when a need for my lips to separate from each other to relax arose, there was no reason to do so. There was no one who would see me lost in tears. I would drink nothing but tears that flowed through my cheeks to the crack lips.

 Everyday was a bright day with the rays of her presence. Days passed on to months and months to years. Time flew at its own pace. My life seemed being blessed with the companion I wanted to have. I didn’t possess her, though. Neither could I make her mine and claim to the world that she is mine, only mine. No, not even in dreams. She was standing beside me on the platform of time. I held her hand, walked, talked and spent my quality time. We were two separate souls.Perhaps, she was of different attitude. Perhaps, I couldn’t conform to her life style. Inspite of all the messes and our differences  i loved her. I loved her more than I would ever do. I loved her like i never did before. My love was clear in my speech, action and behavior. It was clear to everyone that I loved her. Countless time, I helped her. She helped me, too. Like two shores of a sea we moved along in the same direction but our destination of thoughts never met. We were internally different.

At times when I recollect the time we met for the first time I jus t miss the beats in my heart for I will miss it forever. The time we spent together is the witness of our growing love but now it has become a history that my children and other well wisher may like to read it. Never were we travelling for the same destination and now   when we have decided to tread on our own, it doesn’t shock me a bit. We were to travel separately and so are we now. Nowhere on our forehead had fate written our union.

Today I am starting a new journey on my own and I am sure where I will reach. I am at least happy that I have that courage in me. Had this courage been in me a long time ago, I would have been able to see changes that I always wanted to. I am able to make this decision for myself, for my family and for my good. I am well set and equipped for the journey.
