In Love With You

By Disha Dassani

So, the stars and the divine have let me know that you are in deep dark phase. I came crossing miles, crafting stories, forgetting my illness to stand in front of you and hold you, to kiss your eyes which were full of hatred, to touch your heart which was cold, to hold your hands which were shaky. I came to hold you in my arms, to rest you on bed and comfort you while you lay there. To remind you of the beautiful and healing time we had together before you let fear and anxiety take grasp on you. I held your face between my palms and let you know that I am not giving up on you. You wanted to break us off and run away into your darkness because no one rescued you from there. That was the reason you hurt me painfully, you tarnished my image with lies to protect yourself, you left me alone with a kiss and false promise that you will come and talk to me. You held my naked body and bare soul close to you, and whispered in my ear that you have touched me everywhere. I looked into your eyes and teared with love, hugged you close to me and proudly claimed the same. The same you who respected me with your words and touch, left me feeling so vulnerable and disposed. Months ago, we held each other and lied down. We said nothing, just us embracing each other spoke volumes of our love. We laughed when we looked back on our personal weaknesses that almost ruined our bond. We then kissed and promised each other that we won’t let go of us. We intertwined our fingers, leaned towards each other, cried and exasperated only to seal our promise to be with each other with love.

Yes, something very terrible and painful happened to me, to us. It came between us and pushed you into darkness. So, you forgot everything miraculous we had. And then you decided to leave me on my own. But I stirred the heavens and the angels and divine, to find out that you are deeply lost in yourself for the worse. So, I went all around under the sky to find ways to pull you out of it. People have left me in this process alone because they don’t believe the state you are in and think you to be a heartless monster. I don’t care. My love for you which is a blessing from God is tested now. This love will bring you back, heal you and strengthen you. I don’t care if you want to leave me and go then too, but I have, am and will love you so much that nothing would harm you till the time I am surrounding you with my love which is god’s gift for me to you. No matter if everything changes, even you, my love for you won’t.
