A break up tale.

“Promise me, you’ll be happy and will live your life to the fullest!”

“Promise me, that you won’t shed even a single drop of tear when you come across my pictures, living happily in your phone gallery, promise me, that you won’t hold your breath when you scroll through our old ‘whatsapp chats’, that you won’t keep on turning around in a hope to see my face, when you pass by my lane. That you won’t spend every single evening of yours, sitting in the park where we used to meet. Hoping for me to come.”

Said she, as she went on to cut the last thin thread of love that had connected our souls.

“It’s over!” for the first time in my life, two small words seemed so powerful that they went right through my heart and broke it into half!
As her lips mumbled those words, memories flew right into my mind and those moments spent together, every laughter shared with her, every tear shed for her just flashed before my eyes.

Had so much to say, so much to ask but just didn’t know how or where to begin.
It was definitely the last time we were meeting, seeing each other. I stood there numb, silently taking a last glance at her beautiful face as she left slowly, out of my sight and my life, at the same time.

As she was walking swiftly away from me, I shouted her name and she stopped. As she turned around, I ran towards her and hugged her tighter than ever, maybe because I never wanted her to go, maybe I was never ready for it.

I apologized for every mistake I had ever made, I begged her to stay but she didn’t change her mind and just, left.
It was definitely her happiness and self-esteem that had won, at an expense of two hearts and one complicated yet beautiful relationship.
