A
stack of old books came into her way while dusting their room. It was his. While shuffling through the books, she came across a book wrapped
completely, as if he was afraid that the words will fly out if kept unbound.
Out of curiosity she ripped opened it to reveal a diary, showing snippets of
writings in bold messy letters.
Today I saw a woman,
With a mind that leaves butterflies in
your soul.
You
just have to feel her presence once to remember her forever.
She turned to next page
Today I saw her again, and she smiled
at me.
The intoxicating, whiskey sipping,
skinny dipping smile.
Then next...
I feel as if she had magnets in her
bones, for the iron in my blood.
The strength with which she pulls me towards
her,
Just with her eyes is unbelievable.
Then to another....
Even before she looked at me,
I had begun our forever,
Though she didn’t have any idea about
that.
And ….
I want to fly
I want to live wild
To explore the unknowns
To walk the strange roads
She said ….
But she didn’t ask me to accompany her.
Is this an abrupt end to my forever?
Were the last lines …
After
reading through all his writing she felt a pang of jealousy inside her, but yet
she couldn’t restrict herself from smiling, to know that underneath the
stranger she married, there is a man who has sailed through love and had strong
heart prints in him. And now it’s up to her, to give rebirth to the poet in
him.
