He came in my life like a hurricane, changed everything with his touch…. Even I was no longer me, everything around me felt like new… He showed me colours which I didn’t even know existed… Held my hand like it’s going to last forever… As if whatever happens, he will be there for me… We fought but could never break apart… because he always held me so strongly… I could never escape his grip… sometimes I even wanted to… sometimes I didn’t… I wanted to wander… but didn’t want to leave him, my new home… I wanted to take risk… but didn’t want to loose my safe space…
But the journey was not supposed to be so smooth… It had it’s challenges and conditions… It became scary and suffocating… I couldn’t breathe anymore… and I had to quit… and this time he did let me go… but I was so used to of his hand in mine, his arms around me, my head on his shoulders, the support that he will never let me fall… I was happy with my freedom for a while but I missed him… I missed his touch, smell, warmth, comfort everything… I had forgotten all the fights… I could only remember the days when I was about to fall apart and he held me together… I had forgotten my tears… I could only remember the days when we laughed till our stomachs hurt… I had forgotten the conditions… I could only remember his unconditional presence beside me…
I couldn’t resist and went back… but to my surprise, he was not there anymore… there was someone who looked like him but didn’t feel like him… I tried to find him again and again… but every attempt was in vain… I requested, I cried, I begged… but nothing worked out… My hurricane was gone… our journey was over… it all ended at the same point from where it began… now I am the same old me and world around me is also same… It’s hard to differentiate whether that hurricane was real or just a dream… Did we ever cross paths or it was just an illusion… whatever it was, life will go on… with some memories and some lessons… next time when a hurricane comes, I might just close my window… next time when someone says forever, I might feel he hasn’t thought through… next time when I trust, it’s only on me and no one else…
