THOSE FOND MEMORIES

It is rightly said that “love is like heaven but hurts like hell”. I understood these words only when I went through it and trust me it was a real tough experience.
“I don’t want to talk to you again” Diana said these words in a stern voice with out realizing the effect that it would have on me and hung up the phone.” hello hello” I repeated but there was no reply. The phone had got disconnected. I never knew that my small mistake would result in a chasm in our relationship. It was very hard for me to obey her orders so I tried calling but in vain. Things were getting out of my hand and there wasn’t much I could do against a sky of distance which had occurred between us. I wanted to tell Diana that how much I was missing her and how good it would have made me feel to have her skin close to mine, to hold hands, to feel her breath and to look into her eyes. I was missing these simple things…yet simple they may be, they can only come true when she would be near to me. Missing Diana was something which I cannot explain. Her memories were not ready to leave me .Each passing day was making me more and more sink deep under sorrow. Time kept its pace, days went by and it was over a year now I still hadn’t received any call from Diana or via her friend .I guess she had forgotten me, she had forgotten our three years of love. Everybody around advised me to move on in life but it was hard for me to adhere to it. For moving on in life the first thing I had to do was to forget her and thought of forgetting her didn’t occurred to me even in my wildest dream. I never wanted to move on in life, meet new people or make new friends, would sound a bit weird but that’s the way I wanted to be. I was happy living with her memories. Even my tears were not ready to give up. They kept rolling down my cheeks.Lonliness had tightly gripped me .I tried escaping once, twice and then realized it was not going to leave me and therefore I happily surrendered myself. Having her near, feeling the soft tone her voice in my ear, looking into her eyes – these are the things that make me feel truly happy. Today my loneliness has made walls around me in which I happily live with diana’s memories. I had heard that missing someone who is absent is the saddest feeling of all but then I am enjoying it.
