Dating : Being in Love

we are together still apart

Let this distance disappear
and our hearts approach from far
till we come to be as near
as acrostically we are
— Vikram Seth

He meets me on the weekend, the reason waits for that cup of chai followed by that silence which lingers even when we both are together.
Sometimes being in love doesn’t mean words, sometimes it’s knowing that there’s someone who can hold your darkest fears.

I don’t write a lot about him because we both are independent of each other but that doesn’t mean there’s no love it means there’s enough space to maintain our own identity, there’s enough freedom to be what we truly are.

When we met a decade back because of family I didn’t know the meaning of love, but now the story is different. Now we both are on the same page but if he is the beginning then I am the ending, we both know we can’t be together in the same line but isn’t that love to be together still apart, to hold respect for each other.

I am waiting for stories to happen
I am hoping to see that new sky beneath which when we walk
we can see those colours.
I am longing to fall in love with him all over again.
