Dear never mine you,
There are certain things that we wish for and then there are certain things that we don't even think of but experience.How we feel because of those experiences is something that is out of our control.Well, unexpected experiences like these can either leave memories along with their footprints or teach us lessons that we never expect.
The journey with you was something that I neither wished for nor even dreamt of. I don't even know why it happened. Probably, like they say, it was meant or destined to happen. As life unfolded, you stopped being 'just another person' in my life. You stole my attention,my thoughts and my time without your knowledge.I never felt sorry for that but rather felt an unprecedented happiness and excitement. You made me realise again that little things do matter.
I knew where this path will lead to and I also knew that I won't be able to travel down that path all through my life because of the society that we live in. I knew that I will have to see you walk away from me one day.I didn't want to walk on the thorns that I will encounter at a later stage in that path but neither did I want to miss the blissful memories that were inviting me on that enticing path.
But the heart does not listen to the mind, does it? My heart guided my steps on that path telling me that it will cease to travel on that path when the time comes.It dragged along the confused mind all the way.I enjoyed and savoured every step that I took on that path.
The memories that followed fed the emotions well and they grew strong.Those emotions refused to hear my warnings about the thorns ahead.
As moments began to bid farewell and memories began to embrace me, I felt a strong blow that brought me back to reality.Thorns on that path began to pierce through my flesh and the bloody path showed me the expected blockade and reminded me that it's time to leave the path.It didn't feel good to know that you won't be mine, that I can't travel further with you.
But reality doesn't always come with a sugar coating.Sometimes it can come up with something that could be too bitter to digest.It brought pain along with it.The pain refused to leave till I accepted the reality,learned the lessons and moved on.When I gave it a thought, accepting the reality and moving on seemed a lot better than living with my cold blooded friend, the pain.
I understood that there is 'someone' else with whom I would be a lot happier than I would be if I would be with you.I understood that that 'someone' would come into my life when the right time comes and not a moment earlier or a moment later.So, there's no point in hurrying up and messing with other people or pressing the panic button just yet. Probably, that 'someone' has the fortune of travelling along with me and vice versa. Probably, that 'someone' is a lot special than I can even think of.
When all these thoughts floated along my mind, probably pain felt that there is no need to stay with me any more.It faded away. I felt so light. It felt a lot better. There is peace in every breath that I took thereafter.
Thank god, you are not mine. Had you been mine, I would miss that special 'someone'. Thanks for the memories, though.
