And when he started penning his thoughts he wrote his heart out.
"I just feel like reaching over and shaking you, hoping against hope that it would knock some sense into you. I wish you would realize that your life is with me. Life is short and you only live once. We have lost a month of that and nothing would excite me more not to lose another moment.
Living with someone is not just about the good and the happy times, it is also about those hard times where one needs to soldier on. And believe you me, with you i want to be there for them all. I know i have been incredibly dumb and downright stupid at times. I know i was slow to the biggest realization of my life. But since it dawned on me, i am left amazed why it wasn't clear in the first place. To put it into words would be difficult but i will give it a try.
You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I was stuck in a rut and it would have never occurred to me had i not met you. With you i saw a better way of life and now that i have lived that i simply can't revert to the old ways. With you i saw a better version of myself, one who lives every moment, cherishes the little pleasures and looks forward to life. With you around hours became minutes, days became hours and you became a synonym of everything good about life. With you around there was no pursuit of happiness, but happiness itself was life.
I have lived a life where dissatisfaction was just around the corner. Complaining about what i had and longing for what i did not came naturally to me. But with you around, i felt a sense of calm. I was at peace with both myself and with everyone around me. It was like reliving your childhood where everything was uncomplicated. One made simple choices and followed his heart. With you, even a drink was an adventure, a meal a celebration and a song sheer magic.
I used to look at all walks of life through a narrow lens of achievement and excellence. All my decisions were guided by logic and reason. Sentiments were reserved for a tiny secluded place. And I had always taken keen pride in how i always remained detached and unemotional. But meeting you made me richer in perspective like never before. There was my life with you and everything else faded in the background. And after a long long time the prospect of living in the present had a certain distinct charm. With you around, life was as close to perfection as it could ever be.
I know i used to list down the pros and cons of our life together. I know i used to analyze every little thing with a microscope. I know i used to pay heed to my brain over my heart always. But meeting you taught me that there are no cons in love, it is just the promise of something better. I realised that you don't think about falling in love, you just do. And it came to me that you should always give love a chance regardless. Cause with you around, there is no tussle between mind and heart, they both yearn for you in unison.
Now i stand here across the bridge from you. All i wish is for you to walk across to me. All i ask is for you to understand that it is once in a lifetime love. All i hope is for you to realize that we are destined to be together. And all i want is for you to take that leap of faith with me. Cause all i need in this life is just you. "
