My one and only Kalini,

It was never easy to be with you and it's far more difficult to stay away, putting me in a fix as to keep loving you, or run till my knees give up like my heart has, on you, sweetheart.

Don't get me wrong, I love you, I love you so much it hurts not to breathe the same air as you, but pray not ask me if I like you, still...?

I have been a coward with a weak heart, that is afraid of the answer to that wretched question, for I have been puddling myself in a pool of guilt, remorse and longing for you.

This all might be a sham, an illusion like the time but it all feels so real, like this distance between us -

Physical. Present. Absolute. Painful.

So tell me, if I ask you the same someday, do you have the courage to look me in the eye and say otherwise?

Yours Faithfully,
V.
