 Love Lines………
Forever to stay
I wish I could cry on your shoulder
And ask you not to leave
I wish I could tell you how much I love you.
I wish you knew how much I need you
Here in my life.
If I tell you I will lose you even as a friend
Then you will leave me forever...
Nisansala Dharmasena
Found true LOVE forever...
Ten months ago, I got my first job soon after finishing my degree.
That was so far from my home and I have never stayed away from home
before. But I decided to go anyway because I wanted to succeed in my
future. I was so homesick, because, I didn't know anyone or anything
there there. Anyhow, I began my new life. I always suffered with out my
parents and brother. That was when I was introduced to Skype, to avoid
my loneliness and I met many friends there.
 One day I received a new message Skype with the unfamiliar name. Oh!
God, the new person already had known all my details personal as well as
professional information. I wondered with fear "who this was? Is this a
person in my staff, are they pulling my leg?" I was in doubt. I
considered all of the staff members and realized he is not in our staff.
But I couldn't avoid or block him. Because, he knew many things about
me. I argued and challenged him. I threatened him. Then he said, "No,
when you meet me, you will definitely embrace me". Anyhow, we had by
then built somewhat of a friendship.
One day I was very angry and fed-up with my office work and I left my
phone number and log out from the skype. I didn't know whether it is a
good or bad thing. I just did that. Because I was thought to never, log
in to skype again. After two days, I have got a SMS from new number. I
didn't reply. Oh! God that was him.
He said that he has seen me when I was coming down from the steps of
the office. At that moment when he came closest to me, I had been on a
call and ignored him completely. So he had thought, "Who is this proud
girl?" and has tried to contact me. I tried hard to remember whether I
have seen him at the office? But I just couldn't remember. We had gotten
closer to each other over the phone.
One day he asked how one says "I love you" in Japanese. I was so
embarrassed and one by one uttered the words. "Tho ...te ...mo...
ai..shite..i..masu". He is a cheat; he then, asked the Sinhala meaning
of that. I again uttered the words in Sinhala. How wonderful. He was so
happy and at that moment that even I could not fathom his happiness.
That was the combination of two hearts. Our dreams came true and I
realized I have found true love forever. However, still I cannot
remember whether I have seen him at the office.
