A dejected...

I never knew love at first sight would exist until the moment I saw you. Your smile was enchanting and captivating. My whole day would fill with your thoughts and my evenings would be spent to gain your attention. I used to love when you laughed at the foolish things I did to make you smile. Once I got your attention my world changed into a completely different one. My parents grunted, my friends taunted, everyone felt that I was over reacting; they said I was not the first person to fall in love. But for me it was the first time.

I was in awe of every step you took, every move you make. I felt your presence was the most important in my life. You started recognizing all my efforts. It was the proudest moment of my life when you said I was one of the best things happened to you and how you feel blessed about the fact that I love you so much. At that moment, I knew how it felt to be on the top of the world.

Initially, I was the major part of your life. But as time grew, more people started coming into our life. May be we were complacent or we took each other for granted. My likes would entice you before; your choices would make me proud.  Then came the troubled times, I wanted to know things happening to you. You felt I was being possessive, I thought I was being protective as we don’t get to be together all the time. You didn’t want me to do certain things and I wanted you to change some of your habits. Still, love was intact. At least I thought.

I couldn’t help noticing the fact that you started to change. You stopped sharing, you started avoiding. The inevitable happened. You wanted to move on. Our choices, decisions, principles started to differ. Our beautiful world started to break down. Then there came this day when I was no more a part of your world.

If I see back and try to remember all the moments we spent together, you can see the inadvertent smile on my face.  If anyone asks me are there any regrets, my answer will be no regrets at all. I’d have shown the same love even if I knew the sequence of events because you were my first love at first sight.
