Some places are reminders of so many moments; they remind us of so many things. Hidden are hundreds of memories in a single place. Isn’t it a beautiful thing how a single place can remind us of so much?! Isn’t it amazing how a single place can hold so much?! Furthermore, if the place is ornamented with rain, storm, and love, it is needless to say or describe the majesty of the place…
Do you remember the rain-soaked streets; you, me, and an umbrella…? I wanted my tears to drain out too, that day, in that heavy downpour. Maybe you didn’t realize, but do you know, I realized it lately, that some clouds always remain within, no matter how hard you try to precipitate them, isn’t it?
I could sense it, you know, I could somehow feel it…Maybe that is the reason why I clinged onto you so much, that year, so that you won’t leave and stay for some more time- I could feel it you know, I could feel that if I let you go this time, it won’t be a year until I see you again, but I may never see you again, I may never embrace you again…
It’s not your fault, maybe it was mine…I might have loved you more than I should have…but at the end, whatever you wanted was bound to happen, isn’t it? Who am I to stop you, right?!
Do you remember? I promised you… I promised that I will never stop you from anything, no matter what…I kept my promise. Didn’t I?
You often used to say that it is not possible to have everything we want, if we want a hundred things, it is not possible to have it all. You were right, but… I have never considered you in the same domain as the ninety-nine others. Maybe I was just one among your hundred others but you were just ‘that-one’ for me. I loved you so much…
I have said so much already, maybe I’ll continue some other day…
Anyways, I hope that you are alright…Stay well, okay?!
Maybe I am alright too, I have not been able to figure that out yet.
Memories…Those unforgettable memories…Some things can never be forgotten, some phrases, some places…They always end up finding a way to take me back to you.
But I am trying…I am… maybe I have to keep on trying forever. But again, if you are happy pushing me farther away from you, be it…
Stay well, alright!
Yours “that” girl who broke all her boundaries to be with you…you remember? Or you don’t…Stay well (bhalo theko) (Note: I felt the emotions that bhalo theko can carry would be belittled if I plainly translate it, so I used bhalo theko in the bracket which means the same)
