He was to meet me right there. The narrow street opened up to the wide expansion of a market place. Crowd thronged every alley even as the cars honked on relentlessly. I took my place by the floral stand and shaded myself against the glare of the mid-day sun. My eyes searched for him...
Years back, I remembered a fine winter morning... and I remembered the thrill of waking up to a Dream. Ever since, within my soul, I continued living it. Each year, I grew up... inch by inch... closer to my dream.
The haunting memories jerked to a loss as my eager eyes settled on a known figure. Across the curve of the lane, I spotted him... right where the sky stooped to touch the earth. Down the road, a string of loaded carts seem to bind us together in a timeless bond. And I knew he found me just when I found him...
For us it has been years. We fell in love with each other long before we met... decades before we even existed. And then, we loved the waves together... ... ...
In the scorching heat of the day, his hand met mine. Together we moved on... across the street, amidst the market crowd, against the blaring sun.
As he walked by my side, I searched on... for him, always for him. I searched frantically through the crowd... looked at every passing car, across every corner, down all the roads that ever were. His hand guided me silently. With the sun & the sounds, and a bunch of urgent hopes, he led my search. For him... always for him.
... Closer to the dream we moved... inch by inch, inch by inch...
