SUMMER LOVE
I clearly don’t remember how I felt about him when I first met him except for the fact that the deadly concoction of coffee and his contagious smile made my heart flutter. The sweet phase of overnight texts converted to calls, calls to frequent meets.
The summers ended, the fairy tale should have ended, but fortunately, it didn’t, maybe, because of the strong connection, we felt for each other. Both of us started understanding each other, words were understood even before they were said. We even knew when the other person is smiling on the other end. For sure the intense liking had started metamorphosing into the most beautiful feeling in this cosmos-LOVE.
Eventually, our mutual and individual doubts withered away with time. He accepted me with open heart despite my past follies, and I forever feel indebted to him for this. His love for me is unconditional, on the other hand, I had jeopardised his trust several times, still think he deserves better. The surety that I love him comes from the efforts I make to do justice to his unconditional love for me.
I trust him completely, more than I trust myself; with my body, mind, heart, soul. His texts, voice calls, video calls, even recorded calls warm up my heart even during the darkest and coldest of times. he gives me hope for this life and those which follow if they do. He has become a pillar to my confidence, courage, determination, patience, strength—my anchor to sail through this life.
I want nothing more than him to feel the same about me and entrust me with his heart to love forever. Words might be different each time, but the feelings which I want to express are the same. Your glint in your gaze when you look at me makes me feel revered, adored, admired—simply put, special. He provides me with peace and solace which a lost ship finds after returning ashore; been tossed, turned by the sea and rocks.
Us holding each other gaze, is also a feeling which resonates and reverberates through me every time I think about you. It’s a sensation never lost, always on my mind, even while I write this. The power which your love wields over me is phenomenal. Basking in the glory of this power, I can conquer anything. Neither I nor you are perfect, but we are perfect for each other. I trust the US more than you and me.
