 It was four months ago; we met
as good friends in our faculty. He was junior to me. But it was not a
barrier for our friendship. Since our study leave period, we had to go
back to our houses. So we didn't have a chance to meet for a second.
But we met talking over our phones. But he didn't express that he
loved me as he was afraid to do that. Finally he couldn't hide his
feelings. I accepted his offer because I also loved him. In November
2009 we became true lovers. Those were the most beautiful days. I think
he felt the same way. I have no words to explain how I felt.
He was very kind and innocent. I loved him so much. Our affair was a
secret to our faculty. But our best friends protected that secret. But
some of his friends had told bad things about me. Then he had doubts,
about me and he hurt me with those things.
But I know that I never tried to cheat him because he was my life and
everything, so how can I cheat my life? Unfortunately one year after our
love affair he said that he wanted to make a clean break. Those days we
had our exams I felt that it was the end of my world. I can't imagine
what I felt. How did he do that? If he loved me, how could he have ever
said such a thing?
I haven't any tears to cry. I have left everything of my life to
time. He doesn't know how much I love him, how much I worry about him.
I know that I can wait till he comes again. But he won't come. He
can't understand my tears. When I remembered those sweet things, I can't
tolerate it. Every night I see your image in my dream. Every moment my
friends try to mend my heart. But I can't forget my love and I can't
live without him. But I should learn that life is not a bed of roses and
the earth can't touch the sky. But still I can't teach that lesson to my
heart because my heart will love you forever. You are my soul, Dhanu!

Love lines
Close your eyes please....
I close my eyes
When I wanna see you....
I lend an ear to the breeze
When I wanna hear you....
I touch my heart
When I wanna feel you....
I call my mind
when I wanna talk to you....
I floated my eyes
To the horizon...
Mild sun shin kissed the sandy ocean...
While it sets!!!!
My dream....
My love.....
I know you can't come to me....
Via the distance between us....
Please don't leave me....
while your dazzling eyes are hurting me....
Please don't look up my heart....
If you don't have the key....
Please close your twinkling eyes....
Go away from me....
Leave my heart forever!....
And leave me to go to my
Last long sleep!
My sweet heart.....
