The Letter That Let Life Go

I wish for the day when I don’t remember you anymore.

Life, for once was perfect; seeing you was like losing all senses of sorrow and pain, being with you was like having dreams float around me like wayward clouds. Whatever there was between us was made of joy; it never stopped drizzling. With you, I never wanted another sunshine.

But then attentions diverted, new faces, new names, new curves laid in our path; taking a right turn doesn’t always make you right. Our story was never clichéd, but it seems that our end will be. When you sat in the church, right next to me and asked me to never doubt your sincerity; I knew there was something wrong, you never had to ask me this. You knew, I would never doubt you; and I would know that there was something, some path, some curve you had chosen for yourself which would make me doubt you, your intentions, your sincerity.

Taking a right turn doesn’t always make sense.

You chose another path; a path where I would never walk, a turn I would never take. What went wrong, I know. Time elapsed. Time that was suppose to stay between us. There is still time between us; but that of a distance, that of a memory. And that time will always keep adding to itself.

Your will for change will take you away from me and my arrogance will not let me stop you. This is how it is, this is how it will always be. I never got tired of looking at your face, but now this is the face that’s fading away in my memory. Your voice is a distant whisper; your eyes a hazy glimmer.

I am not going to wait for the day when I won’t be able to recall your face.

Today is that day.

The End

    Very well-written. Your words are full of pain but beautiful.

    One of my favourite quotes, for you…

    “In three words I can sum up everything I`ve learned about life: It goes on.”
    Robert Frost.

    Yeah, that’s the irony, isn’t it?

    Then again, this letter is one of those things which you don’t say to the other person; you just write them down and then keep them :)

    Beautifully written…i loved the part that “my arrogance will not let me stop you”. If only we understood that there is no room for ego where hearts n souls are involved. And at times its just tooo late ..and really hurtful when all that u have loved and hoped for was let slip or go out of ur hands by ur ownself. Just a wrong turn..!!!

    thats the irony of it..

    Thank you Umara. Some people just keep taking lefts and rights all their lives; not that there is anything wrong with it … as long as you dont cause pain to others on the way ..

    Thank you for appreciating the write up :)
