The Velvet touch

An unsent letter

"Life has been too unfair lately. There is no desire and happiness left. You might think i have been ruthless and brutal. I know you consider me to be a cruel person who doesn't have any mercy. I can't explain what I'm feeling right now. I don't know what to say. My dream was always to be happy with you. I had to do this for a dying person whom we all love very much. I couldn't let her go in front of my eyes. This sacrifice that i have done is your sacrifice too. I know why you came to me like a mad man. i felt at peace. Yes, peace. Because now i know our love is pure and heavenly which will never vanish in thin air. I have become very brave that now i can give up the most precious things of my life. But believe me, my heart is broken to pieces and all of those belong to you. There's nothing left inside me except hollowness. I'm numb. There will be no feelings further formed as my feelings have been safely treasured by you. Love is a feeling not all can cherish. Not all can hold. Whatever happens in life, I will always love you. I will keep on loving you till the last breath of my life. My love for you is infinite and like a red rose always blooming with pride. I'm not asking for forgiveness for letting our love lose this easily. I'm only asking for you to love me like you do, like you always did. I still live for you and i will always live only for you. There's no other words that i can find. I want you to be calm and kind just as you are. I know if i call you now, you'll not come. I have shattered your heart as well and i don't hold the right to break it again. Still without any reason, i call you over and over again. I see you in my dreams, i feel you in my senses. Though we are not together, our emotions will always bind us together. There are so many things i wanted to tell you but destiny did not permit. I know this letter will always remain unsent and unseen. Yet I'll say, you'll always be my Greek prince, my only love."

"You are so close yet so far

I die out of thirst

Let us soak ourselves in rain

And hold ourselves tight 

Because all we have left is the love, the love so sweet 

Till the day we die and meet..."
