After 13 years of courtship,
I've lost a precious friendship!!
The person who then meant the world to me,
From him, all I want today is to be again 'me'!
I was that timid and shivering creature,
With a shy, silent and sensitive nature.
Wear and tear of life took away my confidence,
And the people around took advantage of my meekness.
As I even struggled to put my words together,
He spoke with regard for me and patted my shoulder.
When everyone could only comment on my broad forehead,
He has seen that every inch of my soul felt complimented!!
He stood beside me when I cooked,
Gently pushed the hair behind my ears.
Had long discussions sleeping on my bed,
And slowly calmed down all my fears.
We walked hand-in-hand to every place I could imagine,
Gave me liberty in every possible way, without any bargain.
Whenever I displayed my attitude or threw fancy tantrums,
His calm and composed reaction would melt me down into tears.
He let me be myself,
Made me realize my inner-self..
At every possible instance,
He ensured that I took a stance.
The warm embrace brushed away all my anxiety,
The kisses on the forehead shooed away fright in it's entirety.
I surrendered myself to his endearment and amiability,
And started loving all the aspects of his personality.
He showed me my strengths and vision,
Encouraged me to pursue my passion,
He inspired me to speak my mind,
And let my imagination get wild...
But, everything evaporated in a matter of few years' time
Mutual respect grew into sarcasm and then into public abuses
Conversations became arguments and verbal wars real-time,
Nights are the times for mud-slinging followed by loud snores.
The bitterness just grew into animosity,
All I want now is to digest some dose of reality,
After thirteen years of observing his transformation,
I think separation is the best solution!!
What about the wedding vows we made??
How about the nest that we have created??
Should I be gratuitous for the good old times?
And bear with the present as a phase that would pass?
The beginning has been humble,
But the years added multiple complexities,
Let the time itself resolve the trouble,
Could we be BFFs again or merely one of those annoying couples...
