ETERNAL LOVE
Reminiscing the days we started as friends, a smile approaches the corner of my lips. Well, not exactly friends but more of hoes! Fighting our way to prove our respective points, who knew the journey which was yet to unfold?
I laugh thinking of our fights, as if we will kill each other. Yes! This was the amount of surety! No would' but will'! This time I laugh harder.
None of us really knew that with those baby steps, we will come this long. For all we started with was friendship, nothing more, nothing less, but only if we knew that our hearts will ditch us, on their way falling!
I wonder what brought us this close. The nights we spend opening our hearts to each other, laying our scars bare in front of one another or the times when we supported each other incessantly. When I stood like a hard rock to protect you from the haunting memories of the past, you on the other hand tried your best to push me up the ladders of success. The combination sounds lethal. Isn't it?
No, this still isn't that lethal. Lethal was when you confessed your love. It was as if Guitars were being played in the background! Had I been in front of you, then you would have seen what a crimson color had run through my cheeks. Only I knew, how hard I had blushed and what a hard time I had controlling my smile!
You have absolutely no idea, that for how long I had been waiting for you to confess this. How tired I was controlling my love for you and naming it as friendship. I wanted to let it all out. I wanted it to flow. Just scared of what you would think of me, I had suppressed it all!
But when you let open my gates of emotion, it was as if, the confessions were destined to flow.
Magical, isn't it?
No, this still isn't that magical. Magical was when we were so close, with your breath was falling on my neck, only I knew, how I survived that. In that moment I melted a thousand times. It was as if I had sudden bouts of asthma, the breath came so slow. Losing myself in the tranquility of the moment, everything seemed oblivious to your touch. It was as if I had completely lost myself fainting in that very moment. The only sound that existed was that was out heartbeats, yours was too fast, mine was too slow, and how they mingled together and found their own pace! Ecstatic, isn't it?
No, this still isn't that ecstatic. Ecstatic was when my nerves used to tangle every time I thought about, the moments of our closeness, the moments of our togetherness, those moments of bliss!
Stupid, isn't it?
No, this still isn't stupid. What I do now a days, that's stupid. How hard time I give you all day long dealing with my mood swings, that sounds more stupid. How I permute and compute new baby names with that of ours, trying to make new names out of 'Khushi and Arnav' on the fog covered glasses, that resonates more stupid. And the only thing that calms me down these days, are the thoughts of our journey. How we sketched it together. Sometimes falling, sometimes rising, equating and balancing, how we found our story! Eternal, isn't it?

No, this still isn't eternal. Eternal is what we have, Our Love', that is eternal!
