A love letter that a 14 year old me wrote! It all looks so funny now..

As I walk down the memory lane: I feel nostalgic , what most I could recall is its just few months back that we met.. That was the matchless encounter someone could ever witness… How slowly you invaded my mind and penetrated into my soul…

This process where you conquer my world and became its king was just so celestial..!!

Remember, how we used to flirt!! Though that was not very new to me, still you continued to win on my heart with your charm every single day and its yet not stopped… Neither do I want it to…

You were so irresistible that I couldn’t get time to ponder over what I was feeling, where I was going and how I was falling for you… Gosh!! I don’t say it’s your talent, but you have got something in you what pulled my heart out from me, to you… I still remember the first time I came to meet you and how inclined I was to you!! How I couldn’t stop looking at you and was embarrassed each time our eyes met!! The Shy smile, the blush on my cheeks, you might not have noticed, but oscillating thoughts of love and charm continued to race in my mind..!! I was just losing my control over my heart that day!!

I knew I had to talk to you, I even tried… I stood up… walked over… But couldn’t gather enough strength to confront my feeling to you!! I ended up saying nothing to you and came back empty handed… But, destiny had written much more for me… You asked me why I came all the way just meet you whom I know not more than for a week… There I got that most awaited chance I was seeking all these days, to expel out my thoughts, to reveal my love!!

I really go out of words when it comes to write it about you… but at the same time I feel I have so much to say that words aren’t enough…But if words are the only way to reach you on the day that has changed me in every possible way, then I want those words to be inked by me personally..

There are things which I can’t say but I feel… I want to say it all, my feelings u know… But I couldn’t say them to you thinking you might not understand what I actually feel… It’s a relationship hazard to have a rational boyfriend… But what to do I have fallen in love with one… Today, there is nothing stopping me from letting you know… No matter how I have been brought up or lived my life… I always had that same old, ridiculous and stupid dream… that one prince charming should come and take me to a fairy world…

I want you to know that you have changed my old world into a fairy world where everything is beautiful like a dream… You are my Prince (sometimes charming)… You came in my life one day and today is that one day for your Cinderella… Ok agreed that this is stupid… but I have to say this today… Please bare with it… You came to my life, we became friends and then lovers and we walked together since then!! It’s been a year walking with you and you just taught me one important thing… That love is not a destination but a journey, it’s not something which you achieve or conquer but something you feel everyday… day by day… A journey where two hearts don’t think about living together tomorrow but beating together today.. I want this journey to be always this way, where each year passes by like a moment…

I love you and I can never explain why and how much but I just do… The journey continues….

As I mentioned in this post:

I used to write love notes for my friends to their loved ones. This was one of them that I personally liked.

I hope you enjoyed reading it, if you did do let me know..:)
