We Met Today

 We Met Today

My face brightened as I pictured the joy of a rendezvous with her today. An eternity seems to have gone by since I saw her, and yet her thoughts are as fresh as  dew.

 

I do wonder what changes time has propelled into her through all these years. She used to be quite good looking; I know she still retains a bit of her charm.

 

It was a long time since we met, yet quite a few bells still rung loudly in my memory. They were still chiming a dirge when I was apprised of a meeting with her.

 

I blessed my stars for this. I felt sure she still didn’t know of my feelings for her.  

 

There wasn’t a way  she could get a whiff of what I felt for her; I don’t wear my heart on my sleeve.

 

To be very frank, I myself wasn’t sure if it was love or another of my infatuations. There have been quite a few, and this could be another of them.

 

I like being with her. All aeons of time I spent with her are like a gold-mine for me. I did my best to preserve the sanctity of all those golden moments I spent with her for a longer time than their shelf-life, I did succeed in my endeavours, but I never let her or anyone except me know I love her.

 

I never articulated my feeling for her in words. There is so much to be said, it was so strong; there are absolutely no words to say it all in. All my efforts have ended in a loud silence.

 

I end up with  a lot of feelings and emotions, but with simply no words to articulate them in.

 

Language fails in its basic function of communicating one’s feelings when one’s feelings and emotions surpass a certain level. I shall have to bank on something other than language.

 

I wish I could say all there is to be said in signs and signals, but I don’t think all symbols to convey all I have in my heart for her have been devised.  

 

I try to create some signs of my own, but soon realise the worthlessness of my efforts; my emotions overweigh all signs ever coined.

 

I love her so much, and I  badly wish I could express my feelings for her. I sometimes wonder why I can’t store my feelings for her within me. 

 

I wonder why I can’t be content with the conviction that she is happy; this is, after all, what I want.

 

I want her to be happy and content. I want her to be happier than anyone else. I want to reserve a special place in my world for her.

 

This place shall be exclusively for her, she will be the only one to live  here. She will rule my world from this place.

 

All this is going to stand true even if I don’t articulate my feelings for her. So, I don’t think it is necessary to say it in so many words.

 

Our hearts beat at the same pace, speak the same language; this should be enough.

 

On the other hand, words signifying my feelings are like  a lump in my throat that insists on coming out as soon as possible. I feel like someone who needs to throw-up to expel some extra food he has eaten.

 

I know I will feel better after vomiting: I will feel a lot better when I have confessed my feelings for her.

 

No amount of words were going to be enough to convey all I feel, I know. Precise words that dig into my heart’s depths and shovel out my feelings for her were never coined. I don’t think I can ever articulate these words. No one can.

 

I will have to coin my own vocabulary, my own lexicon. I only wonder if she will be able to comprehend my typical language.

 

A possibility of her inability to comprehend all I have to say pushes before me a dilemma whether to tell her or not. I don’t think it is important  to tell someone how much you love him or her as long as there is a mutual understanding.

 

I wasn’t sure my love is reciprocated in any form. She too had never said so in words. There wasn’t any way of deducing the truth. I wonder if it is appropriate to love her even if she didn’t love me.

 

I began to wonder why her feelings should dictate my feelings for her. Why should it matter to me if my love was reciprocated in any form or not? I should be content in affirming the fact that I loved her.

 

On the other hand, if she didn’t love me, my affection for her would be wasted on her. But then, it isn’t necessary that she should hold affinity for me only because I love her.

 

Somehow, I felt sure she loved me a lot though she doesn’t I know how much I love her. I love her with all my heart and soul.

 

I wish I had two hearts and two souls to love her with. One heart doesn’t seem to be sufficient to contain the excitement I experience when I think of her.

 

A scale hasn’t been devised to measure love, although poets have been to the moon and back in their efforts to make it scalable.

 

She is to be with me in a short while, and I can’t help jumping into air with joy at the mere thought of it. She is the only entity required for me to be happy.

 

I wonder when this change occurred, I wonder what became of other elements that were once incremental to my happiness.

 

A lot is to happen when she is finally here in a short while. Each aeon of time marks a milestone as it passes; a climax approaches.

 

I see a glimpse of her as she draws nearer, and a lot happens.
