A Letter to Katha

Katha,

Just as the moon kisses the nights sky my penned emotions are kept near when your presence is far from me.

As I close my eyes to relish in your memories my smile gives it away that I've lost the battle immersed in your world. Your words no longer haunt but taunt me as I pine to talk with you more. For I am graced when you talk to me.
Because Katha, you talk to me.

Wounds I've caused are hard to heal or even lighten its burden. My crime was no small fleet that your forgiveness will ever be taken for granted. Your honesty has redeemed me in such a way that it has awaken those tender parts of me. Because Katha, you talk to me.

Beyond the utterance of our words we've opened the window to our hidden plights. As I hold your hand I want to know more about your joys and deep sorrows. To see through your eyes as a child to navigating through life's challenges along the way.

"Main yahaan hoon."
I am here Katha to assure you that the sun will shine tomorrow. To gently wipe your tears and hold you close. To learn from and grow with even on stormy days we'll find the happiness to dance in the rain. My aim is to be a light in your life so that you gracing the world with your sweet smile and bright eyes are a common sight. For life's simplicities are best shared with kindred souls that make us feel alive again.

You are my firefly in the night. My sunrise in the early morning light. You're the remembrance of joy as a child. One look from you and it's as if God has bestowed his blessings upon me more than I deserve welcoming it wholeheartedly. And to thank Him I'll spend this life and the next being a pillar at your side.

I don't expect this journey to be easy but a tale worth declaring is having you and Aarav with me in joys and in sorrows while forging new memories. The love that has shaped the three of us and all of our family.
Because Katha, you talk to me.
Will you continue to talk to me?

"Main yahaan hoon."
