...

Long long ago, (Four years back to be precise) I was under the delusion that I would write a book someday. I had a theme in my mind and even started writing!! But after all these years, I realised it's not my cup of tea. Here is a bit of what I wrote...

"I care. I love you. I can understand your insecurities. I respect your secrets. I shall never probe into your past. I shall never ask you who was there before me. I understand that you need your space sometimes and that you need to be alone and I shall let you be. I promise, I shall never force you to talk to me when you want to be quiet.


May be there was someone in the distant past who suited your taste better than I do. May be your life belonged to another person some time before I came in. May be there is someone who you will never be able to erase from your memory completely and some song, some fragrance, some gesture will forever remind you of that someone. I shall not insist that you be just mine. In fact, I shall not insist on anything.


I come with rare abilities. I can keep a smile on my face even when I feel like crying. I can laugh at myself and empathise with others. I can think positive even when I know there is no hope. More than anything else, I can love. I am a giver. I can give all I have without expecting anything in return.

You will never find me sobbing on your shoulders because I have always been the one to stroke people's head and lend my shoulders when they need. I will never let you hear a single complaint from me even though I hear my own heart break sometime.

Even after all this, if you want to go, I shall let you go. I shall never try to make you stay no matter how much it hurts me. I will still thank this life for letting me stay close to you even for a short while. I still think I have reasons to smile, I still think I have reasons to be happy...
