People come and depart for a reason and now, I know the reason. I know why you came to me like a beautiful raindrop and left like unexpected lightning.
The first day in college when I saw you reading the newspaper while all others were busy chatting, I felt a spark. Your intelligence is what attracted me the most. During our college days, we never confessed our feelings and remained friends. But after graduation, one day we kept talking only to realize we should have opened our hearts much before.
Next, one year gifted me the best moments of my life. Though our friends made fun of us saying that our relationship is filled with more general knowledge than love, we were happy in our small world.
From an adamant and reserved teenager, you helped me turn into a mature and jovial woman. With you, I understood that life is also about listening to others and not just sticking to your own.
I still remember that day on the beach, when you turned up late. Instead of hugging me tight and saying sorry you shook me. You said you'd to leave India and long-distance relationship won't work so it is better to put an end to this. I was shattered.
But then if parting away from me will keep you happy, I'll be the first person to say yes. With tears trickling down my cheeks, I gave you the last kiss and as the bright sun dived into the deep ocean, our love too died an irrecoverable death.
It was difficult to get over but you'd made me strong enough to handle many situation. Ironically I'd to bring that maturity to forget you and move on. I never hated you because love, if it was in the true sense, can never turn into hate.
You made me realize my passion for writing and today I am writing our love story as my first novel though it is an incomplete one. But then, who remembers about complete love stories, right?.
Our love story will reach your bookshelf sooner or later. And I can imagine your naughty smile after reading my note on it. "To the man who came to my life, made me fall in love with him and letters".
In my next birth, I want to live a complete love story with you, so mind you no excuses will be entertained.
Love
An aspiring novelist and your ex-lover
