BEST FRIEND

I used to think that she loved me a lot. It was just that I had to propose.Even I used to love her too. Loved her a lot.
I loved it when She used to call me her BEST FRIEND, when She used to speak her heart out to me, when She used to tell everything that was on her mind to me, when She used to have those fights and the way she used to quarrel with me, when she used to chat with me, when she used to listen to my poems and then praise them, when she used to adore me, when she used to love me.

But I didnt know that she used to consider me as a BEST FRIEND only.


I felt a stab in the heart and enormous pain when she told me one day, "I have fallen in love with him......". But just as she expected, I made fun of her, laughed, joked, and brought
out that smile on her face. She was waiting for someone to listen to her. She didnt know what to say and what not to say. She was excited, she was happy, very happy. I had seldom seen her so happy.

I said," Good good, One girl seems to be very happy eh!
"She said,"Dont worry, you too will get someone pretty !".
My mind was crying yet my lips were smiling. I was trying really hard not to let her know my actual feelings. And I succeded, she didnt understand. She was in love and she couldnt see anything else.

I decided to keep my thoughts to myself and not to tell her.
Because she she used to consider me as a BEST FRIEND only.


She went and heart went numb. My mind was in deep thoughts, a whole lot of confusion. I started remembering all those days I had spent with her. I started to erase them from my mind, I tried really hard.
Whenever we met again, I used to tease her a lot. Whenever she had a fight or was in pain, or had her mind at unrest, she used to turn towards me. She used to look out for me. She needed me. She used to say "I want to meet you. I want to tell you so many things."But she never used to say when, what time , what place.

I never showed her the tears in my mind, in my eyes.
Because she used to consider me as a BEST FRIEND only.


I used to sulk, I used to cry. I used be lost within my loneliness. Whenever she used to talk to me, my eyes used to keep swallowing the tears. It was tough to act, it was tough to hide everything from her, Because she knew me very well. My heart was still with hers. My mind was still with hers.
She used to have fights with him and then she used to come to me and tell
me about them. I used to listen to her patiently and then say things that would make her feel better. And then she used to say. "Thank you. Now i feel better."


She felt that my presence was more important than my words though,
Because she used to consider me as a BEST FRIEND only.


Sometimes, she used to be this wild thing. She used to take anyones name and start teasing me with it. I used to fake the anger and act mad on her and make her smile by doing
so. I never let her know my pain and my sadness. Not a word did I speak, not a
word did i say.

She introduced me one day to him and my healings wounds once again opened up. She introduced me as a very good friend and showed him the book of poems i had gifted her once.Next day, he gifted her a poem written by him. Was he feeling insecure about her.

He didnt need to feel any such insecurity.
Because she used to consider me as a BEST FRIEND only.



She invited me for her wedding. On the card it was written ,"You must come. You must be there".My heart was shattered to a thousand pieces and i had no one else but me to gather them. I brought her a present, something which she liked. Made sure she was happy and I faked happiness outside.


I did all this and will do all this Because she used to consider me as a BEST FRIEND only.


After she got married, I made a promise."Will avoid meeting her and will keep a distance".I didnt want her to know how I feel, or how I have changed, Coz She was in love and she was not interested in knowing it.

I did all this and will do all this Because she used to consider me as a BEST FRIEND.


Years passed. She was busy with her family life and I had an excuse of my "busy life". I lived alone all my life. When she used to write letters, I started replying to them in one or two lines.

But even to those one or two lines, She kept on replying.
Because she used to consider me as a BEST FRIEND.


In her last days, I met her. She was dying. She was unable to speak much. She was crying. But still she said one sentence, " You showed true friendship till my very end."
I was crying. I couldnt wait more.

She said what she had to say.Because she used to consider me as a BEST FRIEND.


Now even my journey is coming to an end. Just a few more days to go i feel. A postman appeared at the gate one day and gave a parcel. A parcel for me, i wondered. I questioned.Was it something she left behind in her will for me?

Maybe yes, after all ,she used to consider me as a BEST FRIEND.


I opened it and it was a diary. Her diary. In that I found my lost time, my lost memories, my naughty tricks, my pranks, my laughter, my talks, my jokes, my tears, my secrets, my
meetings , my days , my friendship , my life.


And i felt, "Yes indeed, she used to consider me as a BEST FRIEND."


When I reached the last few pages of the diary, The tears that I had stopped in my eyes for so many years rolled out.

"I used to think he loves me very much and he was just waiting to propose to
me. Even i love him a lot. When I call him my BEST FRIEND, he smiles. He tells his secrets to me. He listens to me. He fights with me. He reads his poems to me and then looks at me. I can see the gleam in his eyes. His eyes cant hide.


I know he loves me.
I think he loves me.
Does he really love me?"

I felt I was reading my lines, my mind in her diary. I felt I was dead, even before I could die.
Why did Destiny play such a cruel game with me?
Why did it let me know all this when my life is now ending?

Was it that Destiny wanted me to know the truth.

Was it that Destiny wanted me to know that she used to consider me as her TRUE LOVE .

some crap

Why is it so tough to tell the one you love that you do so.
Is it the fear of rejection. Yes guess it is.
Is it the thinking of what the other person may say or do.
Is it the thinking of how the other person may react.

Hmm.. Maybe.

It gets more tough when the other person is your close friend.
You dont want to loose the friendship but also dont want to sacrifice the love .
You are confused. So what do you do.?
Should you tell or not? Well you may end up spoiling the friendship but hey if the friendship is indeed a strong one, there would be no problem.

Sometimes, it is very difficult to understand what the other person is thinking about you.
You may tend to think that the person is having the same feelings as you are, but that may not be the case. So again you think whether to tell or not. Again you think why is love so complicated.

You may talk to all the other people normally but when that one person comes in front of you, your heart stops or misses a beat or it starts beating faster and slower at the same time.
The words just dont come out. You want to say so many things. You want to talk about so many things. But you just cant.

PS: will keep updating this one..with more crap as and when it comes to my mind :)

Contd:

You think of calling the person, talking to the person. But somehow the u are scared to dial the number. You feel, you wonder, you think what to say. You think the topics wont come out.
You know you love the person very much and would love to spend the rest of your life with the person, but what is that thing which scares you. You dont know.


But there is nothing anyone else can do about it. Its upto you and you alone to make it work. Its upto you to overcome the fear and tread the path ahead. And mind you the person on the other side may also be waiting for you to take the initiative. Sometimes the person on the other side dosent want to show that he/she can be easily achievable. Hence they ignore you. Maybe they ignore you because they dont like you. But hey you need to think positive. There is no harm in trying. There is a saying, "So often you loose someone by saying I LOVE YOU. But most often you loose someone by fearing to say so." This is the logic everyone shoould understand.

To be contd. :-)
