A Teen Love Story..

I still stare the rose you gave, when you proposed your love to me...

We were too young, to understand, what is love?

I blushed and accepted both you and the rose..

And then began our love story.....

I wrote you love letters... enveloped with my perfume's fragrance......

And you would jog every evening outside my home, just only to see me...

Though it would rain but you always came.

We were both just only teens!

I remember when we finally met, long after months of exchanging letters and smiles, because we were scared of our strict Mom & Dad..

You looked so charming, in your sky blue jeans, and brought a red rose for me.

I loved the way; you would stare the floor and then turn your gaze secretly admiring me...

That was so cute, when I would catch you staring me silently... and we both would then smile, blushing pink shyly...

That day too, we only blushed and smiled, and observed the Park's scenery.

We were just only teens!

We grew up and were still in love...

You still looked charming as you use to be, but you became busier, as you studied too hard, just to keep parents happy.

You would help me in Maths, when I couldn't solve equations... though I hated Maths but loved it, just for being a reason, for us both to meet.

Its been many years...

And we are no longer, the crazy teens in love.

It's years.. Since you promised me, you'll come to make me forever yours...

And it is the day indeed...

Which we both have waited for, so eagerly...

I'm here; adorned in a pearl, white gown..

Together for eternity we belong.

I see you, beside me walking the aisle.. and you still look charming, as you always use to be.

It all began when we were both, just only teens!

Wish for a Star...

Little girl me, was once staring out the night sky... the dark blanket full of sparkling stars, they appeared as beautiful diamonds to me.

Twinkling high above were millions of tiny stars... 

My eyes glittered in awe of their beauty, and I wished & wondered within me --What if I could have one of these for me?

It was the sweet, innocence of the little girl me..

I grew up, a little and learned... what  I did all those days, was only a fantasy...

You can never possess a Star! How could I even reach up to them?! They are so distant and millions of miles away...

Those little, cute dreamy eyes, that bore a dream inside...

That someday, they will behold, in pride and in utter wonder & delight... a blazing tiny star, gripped in her little palms.

That little girl did grow up, unknown to the truth and realities of this life.

No longer counting & chasing the twinkling stars in sky.

Tiny drops of tears, fall from my eyes, and roll down my peach cheeks...

Why couldn't my Dream come real?

Why is Life, so hard and mean? ....hits you as the raging sea waves, hits the rocks upon the shore...

Breaking hearts and dreams, into numerable tiny bits & pieces...

But don't know why? Still... deep within I hear an echo.... resonating inside me...

"Don't worry child! It will all be fine...

Dream on... it'll turn alive...

Why do you look up and cry? Haven't you heard, sometimes stars, do fall down, off the skies..."
