Nancy, you have been a great inspiration to me

“Love sometimes takes time” is a song sang by Smokie. But I want to sing “Time sometimes takes love away”. We were given time little, which was more than half a decade; but it took away our love. There is no simple reason behind; it just faded away. Maybe this was never true love or maybe the time has come for us to be apart.

He left for his little home town but I was still there, in this fast growing city, looking for my fortune and to earn my living. I was too ambitious and maybe this could be the reason why our relationship could not survive. My career always got first priority. I could not strike a balance between the two. That was my mistake. But he is one person, who can find happiness wherever he is.

He was on the street, just walked out of my door wearing his black shirt. I always liked him in that and smiling at me confidently. He did not turn back to see me for the last time and I already missed him so much. “Nancy, you have been a great inspiration to me and I will wait for you till you come back to me…” These were his last words and I stood staring at nothing, my mind was blank and my life - empty. Before I could turn and look into his eyes, he was gone.

I never liked chocolates but the ones which he gave me every Sunday was sweeter than a fresh honey and the red roses always looked fresh to me. And the road which led to my hostel from our college seemed to be shorter everyday with him. Evening walks on weekends was one of the best parts. He held my hands; I never wanted to let it go. I was one of the happiest girls on earth when he asked me out for our first date on Sunday. He made me feel like a real girl and cherished. Everyday was a beginning us.

Now I am here, writing my story to everyone, open to the world. I have not seen him in a year now but memories still linger in my mind till today. He will always be an important part of my life and I wish he were there to read this story which is written for him.
