the stars shone! until...

Dear Aparupa,
I really dunno what happened to me all of a sudden. Really! I mean,we've been best friends for nearly two years now,and we've been like two innocent li'l angels playing in the park,chasing butterflies, giggling...

Honestly,I've never been so very close,so very emotionally dependant on anyone before. But when we started drifting apart,I really began to feel the pain;the pain of growing up. It's been like being sent to boarding school. Like looking expectantly at your mother,who turns away her face to hide her tears. For the first time,I've realised how much I love you!

I know what your mindset is,how you feel about stuff. May be we're made for each other! May be that's why you got so very angry with me...because I live in a soft corner of your heart. You've let me hold your hands for ringa-ringa. Can I hold them now for a walk to the park?

If your answers no,I'll be cool with it. Really! We can get together sometime and laugh at me.

Ritwik.
