He was the one who got away

She had a 8 year long abusive relationship. It had been a year since she had come out of it. Till now she was living with her parents, surrounded by people & a cute dog who loved her, thus she never felt the loneliness. The dog had filled the gap, the void was filled.

But now she had come to MICA, a new place, first time away from home. She was a bit lost , the place felt alien, she didn't know how to be and what to do.

She was struggling with all this that there came a man,a boy to say, who understood her storm. He would talk to her as if he knew her. He would be that fig in the ocean who held her when she needed it the most. He loved her like anything & she grew. She found her place in that world through 'Chinar' of the place.

But now the tables had turned, the guy left. The girl knew how to venture in the dark . She had found the path, the path to be.

Unfortunately, the guy was lost now. he ventured into unknown territory. He seeked help, he seeked support. He seeked love.

But she had none to offer. She was empty. She had nothing to give . She couldnt deal with the expectation. She was healed though and he was broken.

She left him. She left him in the lurch. She left coz she was unable to offer what was expected. She left him coz she wanted to live. She left him coz he was wanting something in return which she could not give.

Its sad that she doesn't realize, its always a give and take. Its always two way. Love, relationship is two way. She thinks that she will be happy, that she can live without his love. But she doesnt understand that nothing is permanent. Not even happiness. Love is.

She took him for granted. but one day the tide will turn, she would face what the boy did. And she wont be able to share because there won't be anyone standing on the other end to hold her & tell her that everything is going to be okay. Its okay.

She will realize it ,not now, but after 6 months from today & she will know the extent of damage and pain she inflicted on the boy. And he would be heeled by the time that day comes.

I write it now, this day after six months, she will be sitting alone & wondering whom can she talk to. Where is everyone. Was he right. He should have been here. He was right about this.

He was the one who got away.
