It’s a letter written by one of my lover for me on the occasion of my birthday. Not a letter actually but it feels like one. Sharing it here with prior permission. Do read if you love someone more than yourself…
Hey, darling…
Happy birthday! I wish you get everything you ever need to survive…
I want to say one more thing today!
Please, please don’t let every small thing hurt you
It hurts me too…
I love you more than anything and anyone else…
I can not live without you…
And I just don’t say it for the sake of saying
It’s absolutely true…
Still, you hurt me always
because of someone else
It hurts me when you skip your meal just because you are angry at someone
It hurts me when you can’t sleep well just because someone is angry at you
No, no it’s not jealousy
It hurts me just because it hurts you
You don’t even realize how badly it affects me
Unless and until I get hospitalize
Only then you are worried about my well being
Otherwise you don’t pay attention
Your carelessness have already broken me enough…
You know, that day you came in my dream and surprisingly your another lover was also there. The one whom you love too. I could see him, I kept staring at him, I actually wanted to slap him for hurting you so many times but I don’t know what happened he started beating me. And you… You didn’t even stop him!
What hurts me is not the pain but
The realization that you let him hurt me???
Though it was just a dream…
And I hope it remains one forever!
Actually, no one has got any right to hurt me
Not even you!
But because I am so attached
It hurts
It hurts me badly
I can’t even detach myself from you
Coz I know you need me…
Though I can bear everything for you
And can do anything for you
Coz you only complete me
And I won’t get anyone as compatible as you
I have always been there with you
And I’ll even if you don’t ask for
Just don’t break me so hard
That I won’t be able to stand…!
Do you even remember…
It’s my birthday as well
I know you don’t…
I don’t really mind it though…
Just wanted to ask for a gift
Asking you something for the first time
Hope you don’t deny it…
Just love me once…
I don’t want anything else
I know your love comes with everything
I will ever need…
Let me tell you one thing
No one is gonna be with you til ur last breath
Except me,
Accept me
The way I am
You can change me easily though
It’s up to you
But ignore things which are by default
Cause it’s not at all my fault…
I would die out of hunger for love
And you wouldn’t even get a chance to regret
As You would be then called late.
Yours only,
Minakshi
