Two And Maybe Forever...

This one has been one hell of a ride. Every now and then we come across people we never expected to cross our paths and they end up changing our lives forever. The funny part is that it all started with confusion and it still confuses me. 

Two years back, Shera came charging in my life and what a roller coaster ride I have been on since then. The journey has been like an ultimate long island tea - endearing, tumultuous, sweet n sour, tangy, heady, and consuming.  

With seasons changing, our association has also changed a lot and only time will tell where it is headed. But why should that stop me from celebrating a small milestone – the terrible twos (don’t panic coz I am using the term when babies turn two… wink…wink…)

What do I wish for, now that we’ve reached here? Ummmmm…a lot of things actually.

I wish that we bring back the warmth of the connect that we used to have. We don’t have to talk to each other whole day but maybe we stop being strangers coz we aren’t.

I wish that both of us leave the clouds of our personal troubled times from the last several months behind us and learn to be vulnerable again. In our attempt to be the superman/ superwoman, we have forgotten the fact that we are actually humans and we should act like one.

I wish that none of us holds any grudge for things gone wrong. Come upfront and bring everything on table for the other to see and assimilate. It all comes to down to being vulnerable and telling all that has gone unsaid…

I wish we both could believe in the power of transparency. I deserve to know anything going in your life that has an impact on me and so should you.

I wish we both would not let our actions lead the other person into believing what we may be trying to convey, instead we actually speak out what we want to convey.

I wish that even if one of us reaches out to the other, asking to be heard, no matter how busy we are, we take out time. Even if we don’t want to do this, we still make time coz the other one asked for it. Once the time goes, it never comes back and we would never get to know what the other person wanted to share. This could make all the difference and so this one is really important.

I wish we never leave an opportunity to celebrate life together coz that’s what dear ones are for.

I wish we never leave an opportunity to make cherished memories coz these are what sail us through our old age.

I wish we always find reasons to make each other smile and feel special. This is priceless.

I wish that if ever it is time to bid adieu then we tell the other in person and not let them second guess. Nobody deserves to go through something like this.

There is so much more that I could wish for but if we could even start with the above mentioned, wonders would happen.

Enough with the rhetoric so I shall now pause.

Cheers to the two and wishing to celebrate many more in the years to come…
