Miles apart, there is certainly someone who really understands what it is to be, standing in your shoes! Complete strangers, yet very understanding. So much that the beloved ones seem strange and weird, because they just can’t relate to your world. A world totally different and detached from the rest.

As I asked you to see the world from my eyes, I’d now ask you, to touch it and see. For it is real. Tactile. Smooth. Delicate, yet sturdy. I can feel this world with my eyes closed. For it is placed deep within me, close to my heart.

I feel as if I am Meera, relentlessly waiting for my love to come before me. The timeless days spent in the wait seem all the more beautiful, just by the thought of that very moment when he’d come and stand in front of me. Real. Tactile! Smooth. Delicate, yet sturdy! The imaginary touch would be felt for real. And I’d practically go insane with happiness. Eternal Bliss it’d be! If only he comes before me!

Miles apart, I can wait till he knows my love for him. For remembering him in every moment, I keep him close to my heart. He is never really apart. For I write him on every thought that passes. Sixty thousand a day? Cannot really say! But he sways back and fro in a melody of the tune that plays at the back of my mind. His smile engraved in my mind, penetrating through the thoughts, reaching my heart.

Every breath of mine reminds me that I am alive to meet him once. In real. And then the distance would cease. I would walk hand in hand with you, not really afraid to show off the world that I belong to someone. And the very thought of your hand touching mine sends tingling sensation throughout my body. With eyes open, I’d try my best to capture his smile at his best, to last me another set of endless moments.

My thoughts flooded as I got the first glimpse of you after what seemed like ages. You looked the same, yet the image did not really match my love. Were you the same, or in disguise? But, your smile continued to lure me! I was certain this was the exact moment I’d been waiting for. I looked calm, but my heart twitched. The several imaginary confrontations were suddenly a reality. I was caught between this surreal moment.

He smiled from a distance and left abruptly. His brief appearance seemed to be like a deja vu. Those nightmares of him walking away seemed to be happening before my eyes. I wanted to shut them and live into that imaginary world, where he was just mine, and I’d not have to share him. His love.

The proximity brought in, distance! He was so close to be touched, yet far from my reach. His eyes tried to tell yet hide things. I was unable to interpret. His concern felt genuine, but distant. Probably he was living a different reality. Where, we might be in exactly opposite position. He might have been thinking what could be said, felt and sensed. And equally perplexed as me. Bewildered and confused, about how to approach. Yet equally elated. Our most awaited date was public! But certainly unreal!

Someone pinch me please!
