It had been a year since I changed cities. Leaving behind everything from my friends to my childhood, I moved to Mumbai. But if there was one thing I couldn’t leave behind, it was what could have been love. I knew it was stupid, and that I’ll have to meet new people sometime. One day, I finally decided to stop thinking about it all, and live a normal young life. And that, is when I met you.
It was my first day, and I was new to everything. Everyone knew everyone, and I was a stranger to it all. But in this mass of strange faces, my eyes chose you to be the first face they rest upon. And from the way yours did too, I knew it was something at first sight.
Do you remember how everything happening that day seemed fate’s plan to bring us together? And do you remember the way I was surprised when you grinned at me, stupidly turning behind to make sure it really was for me? Months passed, and I was just as mesmerised by you as I was on the first day.
We had the most beautiful time of our lives, but we both knew that ending it with fights and heartbreak wasn’t going to be a choice. It was an unspoken agreement to wait for fate to cross our paths again, and the goodbye was sealed. Happily, with a smiling face, and with a promise to self to never forget this beauty.
That night, it rained. Heavily. Do you know I didn’t use my umbrella when I went home? It was better this way, without one. I had tears streaming down my face, all the way back. They weren’t for sadness. I’d realised why we were granted such an enviously beautiful story. I was made to meet you, to make me realise love has no limits. You can’t restrict it. You can’t love someone more than anyone else. You’ll always find people to love more, because that is one thing we humans should pride ourselves on. Our ability to love. Everything happens for a reason. Meeting you was for one, and leaving you was for another. Because if I didn’t, wouldn’t that ruin the purpose of meeting you in the first place? There are people to meet, smiles to share, and experiences to have. You can’t put bars on life. But do you know I will always wait for us to meet again, in a far away land as strangers, just to feel the warmth you gave my heart, turning my insides to water and my happiness to euphoria?
