His cold footsteps and bleak efforts
said it all. I somehow knew what is it in his mind, what he wants to tell me,
the same old thing which I have been hearing for all these years, month after
month. This time I was through, I wanted to stop this torture, to him and to
myself.
“Samaira, uummm…well aahhh….hope I am
not disturbing you, I am here to ask for something …” his words went piercing
my heart and my body was numb again, though this has happened several times but
every time I or infact my body reacted the same way, begging him to think again
and making him change his mind, but this
time I won’t give any effort, I am shattered and tired of crying.
“Sunny you don’t need to say anything,
maybe I know and I am finally giving you what you are actually trying to ask
for…” I sighed and finally blurted out the words he wanted to listen “I am
letting you go” and then I cried insanely in his broad yet cold embrace but for
the last time.

"I'm letting you go" - these lines are so chilling and haunting. Perhaps love isn't about holding back, it's also about letting him/her go. Wonderfully illustrated !!!
ReplyDeletehmm letting go....the toughest task ever ..
DeleteI have experienced devastating endings such as this, you wrote very well of the powerful emotions involved! I hope that Samaira discovers endings can lead to new beginnings... I did! :-)
