Walking Past Him

Fluttering Feelings.

Day after day, week after week,
I loved him till my feelings reached the peak
Month after month, years after years
I adored him, put at bay all my fears
Something so pure, so selfless started to grow
And now in his love either one could drown or float

Have you ever noticed a plant growing day by day? Have you ever nurtuted it with all your heart and soul? I once did.

So welcome ladies and gentlemen to see the twisted tale of nurturing the plant of love. Once upon a time, there was this boy, the one we call him. He fell in love with a friend but soon he outgrew. It looked as if it was impossible for him to do so, but he was strong and so he did. He was so strong than he used to encourage another girl to live freely, to speak, to express, to interact and to breathe. This girl, as we all know was me. Too shy to live and too timid to prove the need to stay. And alas! She fell in love with him as cindrella fell for prince charming. Oops! A twist in the tale, she used to love him earlier... Long long ago, when he never liked someone else. Because when the pain striked, she never knew what to do. So she moved on.... Moved ahead of him and his memories, ahead of the whistle and the fire threatening to explode within her. But what happens when prince charming realised he picked up the wrong cindrella? He also moved on.

He reached where I was. The same step, the same path. Because when destiny throws two people on the same path for the second time, something old is meant to be renewed. Something wild like fire.

And when we both were together again, my heart threatened to explode. The butterflies I shot long back took a rebirth. And the story? It went on... The girl again started nurturing the plant she once killed. Her plant of love for him. And with this restarted the epic saga of love and heart break.

He was again there. Too close to her, too close to touch and melt. She was again there. Too close to the flames, too close to burn in his love. The sparks re-ignited and the whistle again started shamelessly cooing in her ears. Yes, my friends, her love for him took a U-turn again.

They were soon thrown back together, for one complete year. 365 days are too many. Don't you think so? Too many to resist the one she found irresistable. They grew. They grew together, together as friends. Close friends. And what did she do? She lost herself to him. Completely. She could do anything and everything for him.

She changed. She became what he wanted her to be-confident,friendly, social. She started living like never before. She dreamt. She dreamt of her future which she never did before. He, he was there with her. For her. He helped her grow and live.

But life is too short. Isn't it?
