Love Lines
 I long to be with him...
To SMCR
Life was so monotonous from dew to dusk
Nothing important and nothing new
Days of dissatisfaction and loneliness passed by
But fair wind blew on me too with time
Along with "Unmatched" opportunities
Everything changed
I had hope, I had faith, I dreamt
For over two years I dreamt, I hoped, I wished for the stars
Felt like a teenager excited
With a ray of light in my life
But yes, did my friends warn me
"Never count your chicken until they are hatched"
They were right
I have misunderstood again; it was just a change of mood
Now I am tired, I'm hurt, I've fallen
But in my heart I long to be with him
For better or worse, through thick and thin
Alas, but not him
To him it was just another monsoon
From Monsoon
Honesty always works
Reply to a letter sent to Love Page
Dear Monsoon,
 Sorry we couldn't reply your letter or publish your poem on the date
you requested...hope I'm not too late.
You have been in love with a guy for over two years. This is great!
It means that the feelings you harbour for him maybe genuine. But the
true fact is you don't know much about him. His true persona maybe
nothing like you expect or dream it to be. Just remember when you are in
love you say that you are prepared to take him for what he is, for all
his weaknesses. But how can you vouch for this without even knowing who
he really is.
Having said that, there is no rule that women should not break the
ice. If you are reluctant to take the initiative as the girl, maybe you
should start being friends. Don't be too quick to judge. His reasons for
holding back may be more reasonable than you know. It may have nothing
to do with shyness or cowardice. Always be open and speak from your
heart. Ask him why he does not open up or why he pulls away when people
try to get close.
Remember honesty always work in any sort of relationship, even in a
friendship.
-Samadhi
