Her and Me

I saw her again today.It was evening, I was running to my room.It was then that I suddenly saw her. Or was she there all the time? She was wearing a lovely orange dress, not exactly orange but a beautiful blend of orange and yellow.Her dress color seemed to change with the setting sun, from a lovely blend of orange and yellow to an equally lovely blend of orange and red. She was standing there,as if she was relishing every single moment. She seemed to be celebrating life, in a very lively and yet subtle way that was unique to her. I stopped there awestruck by her beauty.She seemed oblivious of my presence.I moved towards her. I wanted to go to her and be there right beside her. I moved.I was there, standing as close as I could get.There was still a distance between us. I could not get any nearer.The distance between us made her much more beautiful.I stood there getting drunk by her beauty, a beauty that I could die for, a beauty that makes me forget everything, a beauty that gives me an ineffable delight. I gave an unconscious smile, with my heart filled with delight.I loved the moment.I tried to enjoy it as much as I could. It was just her, me and this wonderful feeling that I can't express. I was getting more intoxicated by every second.Then she surprised me.She looked at me and smiled.I am incapable of describing how beautiful and stunning the smile was and what it made me feel. I think any language would fall short of words to describe those. The only way to understand is to experience it.We stood like that for some time. In fact I don't know if it was long or short. I don't have any idea. All that I can remember is the wonderful feeling.Then there was this call. I did not know where was it from and who was calling me.But that call made me realize that I can't be there forever like that.When I realized this the distance between us started growing. I looked at her. Her face was calm but I felt her eyes were trying to tell me something.I could see a trace of melancholy in them.I tried to understand. But I couldn't. Then she was gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can still see her sometimes. Sometimes wearing a pitch black dress and with a single white or a red rose in her dark black hair.Sometimes wearing a lovely blue and with a white silk ribbon tying her hair.Sometimes wearing a turmeric yellow. She comes to me whenever I need her the most.At times when I am in grief and at times when I need to share my joy.And at times when I just feel like having her near me.Every single visit of her makes my worries vanish and fills my heart with delight.But each and every visit ends the same way. The distance between us grows. Her face is always calm as she gets far away from me. But her eyes still struggle to tell me something.If only I could understand what they were trying to tell me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I pondered a lot trying to understand what those eyes tried to tell me.One day I understood."It is you who is moving away from me.I am here all the time waiting for you to look at me, waiting for you to take me with you, waiting to become one with you!!!!!!!!!!!".My heart wrung in pain.I realized my mistake.But it was late. Humans never understand the value of the things they have.Even though I can find myself near to her sometimes the distance between us has been growing for too long and become very large.But I have taken the first step on the path that leads towards her and my eyes now reply her eyes with the words "I am coming to you" when we part.
