I’m sitting by the window, waiting for a piece of my young adult life to walk in through the door.
As if on cue, he’s wading through the sea of tables and fellow diners.
His eyes light up on seeing me and before the pleasantries, he gives his reason for being late, just like before.
We talk about a million things and fall into an uncomfortable silence when it’s time to leave.
And at that very moment, I realize that I’ve never stopped loving him.
I stare at him in shocked silence, when he says, “I’ve never stopped loving you.”

Aww! When both feels the same way, there is some strong connection going on, isn’t it? Nice tale, Shilpa.
Yes, and how wonderful it would be if they stay connected that way. Thanks Vinitha. Glad you liked this story!
I like these strong connections we sometimes have with our past, yet the strength we chose in moving forward.
I so agree with you, Sheethal. And doing that would be so empowering!
Love is indeed strange .It’s there and not quite there sometimes.Only those which have a connection from both sides stand the test of time.Creatively worded.
Hmmm…. that’s true, but sometimes, some people can never be with the one they want to be, despite the connection
Wow. Talk about a strong connect. Even in thoughts. Happy, but kind of eerie too. Super story, SG.
Yes, that would be one amazing relationship when you both are on the same wavelength. Would it have some cons, I wonder!
Thanks Vinay, glad you liked this attempt.
Ahhh. Romantic.

Sometimes we meet those ppl again when the story is still unfinished and some more is left to be unfurled.
