A Letter To My Butterfly

The music pulsed through the air, a vibrant symphony of laughter and nostalgia that filled the room. Dim lights flickered like fireflies, illuminating the faces of friends who had shared countless memories within these familiar walls. It was a night of celebration, but for Vishwa, it felt more like an ending than a beginning.

As he stood against the wall, drink in hand, his eyes searched for her amidst the swirling crowd. Tarini, with her enchanting smile and carefree spirit, was the heartbeat of the party. She glided from one group to another, a playful butterfly dancing in a garden of joy. Every laugh she shared and every glance she cast drew Vishwa deeper into a world he longed to be a part of, yet felt perpetually outside.

Tonight marked the farewell to a chapter of their lives, a bittersweet transition into the unknown. Vishwa could feel the weight of unspoken words pressing against his chest. It was in this moment, under the shimmering lights, that he realized how much he had kept hidden—his admiration, his dreams, his love for Tarini. It all felt too immense to carry any longer.

As he watched her, surrounded by friends who adored her, Vishwa made a silent vow. He would finally lay bare his heart. Before the night ended, he would give her something tangible—a letter, a confession, a promise of what could be. It was now or never, and with every beat of his heart, he felt the urgency grow.

But as the clock ticked down to midnight, uncertainty loomed. Would she understand? Would she feel the same? Or would this moment slip through his fingers like so many others, lost to the currents of time?

In a world where goodbyes were inevitable, Vishwa stood on the precipice of his greatest leap—into love, into vulnerability, into the unknown. Little did he know that the night would not only change the course of their friendship but would also mark the beginning of a journey neither of them had anticipated.

Tonight, he would find out if he could truly capture his butterfly.
