this is one of the first things i wrote for my college magazine around 10 years back... and one of the few things i've ever written... some of you guys must have already read it.. but for the others ...i'm always open to criticism...
He was on his knees.. his hands shivering…. he had orchids in his hands (white ones.. her favourite).. he was longing to do this for the last seven years. She was his best friend and he had loved her at “hello”. He finally geared up the courage to say those words he had been wanting to tell her for the longest time… “I love you… I have loved you for ever. .I love you the way you are… the way you laugh.. the way you cry.,.. and the way you would laugh so much that you would want to cry… the way you look at me when I’m low (which would give me a high).. the way you knew just what to say to make my day. I’ve cherished every moment spent with you… from doing crazy things… to just being… and doing nothing… I knew the you were my soul mate.. the one I was looking for all my life.. and I knew that we would have been happy together.. but I never could gather the courage to say this to you… I didn’t want to lose you as my best friend… ……”
He then kept the orchids on her grave… and did something he hadn’t for as long as he remembered…. He cried….
