Happy New Year

I remember... 2008, 12.01 am. The crowd was cheering. There were hugs, kisses and New Year wishes. I slowly pushed my way through, and walked out. I hugged, I kissed, I wished, I loved.

It seems like yesterday. Like a moment ago. I can still feel the happiness within me. The happiness that love brings with it.

The year flew by. I flew away.

There were months of tears and smiles; of walks and drives; of work and books; of fashion and food; of friends, true friends, and fun; of fights, some never undone…

There were months of ‘Miss Yous’, of ‘Come Back Soon’.

There were months of unsent mails, of wishes in vain.

There were months of addition and deletion, of obsession and infatuation.

There were months of wine and movies, of GTalk and Facebook newbies.

There were months and months of life packed in, in just one year...

Emotions left and returned, the calendar repeatedly turned. The clock ticked on. Dusks changed to dawns. The sun rose and set beyond the freckled hills, and yet in my eyes time stood still…

I look at the date and it says 04-01-2009. And I wonder how…How life has moved on when my heart has remained as unchanged as time…

…Coz, it all seems like yesterday. Like a moment ago. I can still feel the happiness within me. The happiness that love brings with it…
