Whenever I try to write something about you, I fail. You are not my ex. You are not my friend. You are a heartbreak that I never allow to heal. You've been special that way ever since I met you. Remember the first online chat we had. With our fake profile pictures, quirky usernames, we were trying to hide our real identity. Fortunately, our true-selves were reflected in the short sarcastic sentences we typed. I knew, you were my type! However, I was not. And that makes me curse the destiny. Why God, why?
You were the missing piece that fitted perfectly with the jarred edges of my heart. I wanted our relationship to grow. It grew too. We had a label-less relation. We could tell everything to each other. We could go missing from each other's lives with no explanation. We could jump in and carry on as if nothing changed. Well, nothing could change - no man was man enough to take your place in your absence! You were the only one who understood me the way I wanted. You were the only man to arouse me with short pauses on the telephone. You were the only man who was a part of my every fantasy. Actually, you still are. Twelve years and you can still rock my world with a simple reply on my Facebook status. The forlorn lover in me tries to decipher the hidden meaning of your comments. If that's insane, so be it!
I would rather live my moments of craziness than let the maturity snatch away one real happiness I have. You are the pain that brings joy. You are a joy that is a lifelong agony. You are one chapter of my life that is abridged. Abridged, not complete. So, if someone wants to write an unrequited love story, ours should be the one. Not that it would be the best. But because if being a writer, I can't write it, someone should untangle the emotions and write my love story for me. Only then, I would know - Why am I a modern day Meera?
Yours truly,
That's a unique take on modern relationships. Well done, Meera :)

DeleteThat's the truth of modern day relationships. I think it can be a perfect preface to an exciting YA novel :)
ReplyDeleteOh, that's good to know. Thank you!
DeleteYou were the missing piece that fitted perfectly with the jarred edges of my heart...Aahh Great work Saru, struck the right chords :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Roma!
DeleteBeautiful take on love and put in such unique way. Loved reading this piece.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Swati. It's always good to hear from you.
Delete'I knew, you were my type! However, I was not.'
ReplyDelete...loved this tragic realization!
Indeed.
DeleteYour pen expresses love in myriad ways but always with a poetic touch.A modern Meera? Nice take.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alka.❤
DeleteBeautiful depiction of the modern day Meera with words that sunk into the heart. I have many such unrequited love. Some relationships are felt within and difficult to understand.
ReplyDeleteTrue that, Vishal.Love is a complex emotion. Too difficult to understand.
DeleteIt touched a chord..so beautifully written!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sia.
DeleteIsn't it interesting that some relationships are best label less. The beauty of it lies in that only. Lovely post !
ReplyDeleteTrue. Let it be free.
DeleteIn a scenario where love breeds upon habitual fondness, this write up surely gives a meaningful perspective to love. True, few relationships never find a name and it's better to leave them there rather than eroding the beauty of it by trying to define it.Loved how you ended this subtle write up! :)
ReplyDeleteWell said, Srishti. Enjoy what we have, and till we have it. And thank you for a generous comment :)
Delete'I would rather live my moments of craziness than let the maturity snatch away one real happiness I have.'
ReplyDeleteBawri Basanti, I love this line. It says so much, everything and nothing at all. Do a book on it. Love is such a complex thing to define. Terrific.
Gosh I again commented and read it with a second eye. That's the beauty of your words.
DeleteDats love.. neither modern nor traditional..jst love..love where there is joy and pain both at d same time.d pain of nt being d " his type" and d joy of finding dat "missing piece"..somewhere hidden is d anxiety of dat awaited reply which wen got jst melt away all pain..all anger nd leaves u with a fresh fragrance of love.w wonderful dear Meera..jst awesome..
