10 years!!

“Love is what makes two people sit in the middle of a bench when there is plenty of room at both ends”

This quote reminds me of the words my husband always says" why do you come and sit almost on me when there is plenty of room on the other side of the couch". I never knew how i did it but, i always went and sat on his lap even though there was plenty of room.  This year is our 10th Anniversary, unknowingly we hit 10 years. How we reach here? i don't know. Now that i think of ..it feels so strange, that i have been living with this man whom i didn't even know 10 years back. But i should give it to him, he gave me time to know him and feel comfortable in my home.He never restricted me from doing anything. I was as comfortable as i was with my parents with him. He accepted me as I'm and always appreciated me, and told me many times that I'm beautiful. In this 10 years he has unfolded me in ways, i could have never done without him. He gave me an opportunity to explore my life. He made me free and independent. Had he not been there in my life, i would not have been what I'm today. I was very outgoing even before marriage, and i believed in every one who came across. I never used to explore new things, i was scared of water , i was scared of  heights, i was happy with going in the same route every day. But all these things changed, i learned to swim because of him , i went on roller coasters for him though i dint like it. I never used to like driving , but now i do. He proved to me that I'm stronger than what i believe in myself. He is a positive energy in all the negative things that i see. In this 10 years he gave me all that i could ask for , two beautiful kids , a beautiful home . I'm so thankful that he is part of my life and i wish he should have all that he wants in life.
I love you more than anything in this world my dear Husband.
With Love...

A walk with a stranger..

I have gone through some friendships which have changed drastically; having so much in common to ... do I really know this person. It’s from sharing everything to...  are we on the same page anymore.

I started walking a road with a stranger years back
Talking, joking, teasing, fighting, crying , patching

As the days went by; I though I was getting to know him better

We were glad that our paths crossed and the road felt beautiful


He laughed when i joked, he spoke when he wanted to, he shared when he felt like
But to me, he was there every moment, living breathing

It mattered to me to speak to him every day
He was a good listener  with smiles in between


It was no seconds or minutes or hours that i knew him now, it was years all of a sudden 
Unknowingly we reached the end of the road into a crossroads
He didn't bother, but left me behind making me feel worthless
And Judging every word that i said


We tried very hard to get to normal after each storm

both of us were bruised
I have decided to forget  and go along
But it hurts him each time he looks at each one of it

I thought we walked along this road together 
But turned out,that i was the one pursuing him to walk with me all along
He bottled up all the hurt and the grudge
And branded me with his logo as useless nerd

Here I'm  standing in the crossroads thinking, do i take his path again?

Forcing him and pursuing him to walk along ? As in the end..

Did i really get to know this stranger? Does he really know me?
As the stranger walks away leaving me behind, i feel he remained still as a stranger after years.
