had to drift apart...

Sometimes you just have to learn to let go... weird thing that the first post on this blog has to start this way but I am all consumed by this loss at the moment so can't really think up of a better way to start!

I still remember her touch, her comforting presence... was such a big relief from the hot and humid climate at Kharagpur! The great chemistry we had.. I guess I just used an overdose of chemicals... if you know what I mean!
People shot glances when we walked by on the streets. "Nice find" my envious friends would say!
About once every week we loved drenching each other wet. Something that I did not quite look forward to but yeah she loved it!!

Not that I grew out of her or anything.. she fitted me so perfectly well. But sometimes you just get the feeling that the thing has dragged on for too long and then you start reminiscing about the comforting presence that was there when the association started but is now missing! Overdose of chemicals shrunk her a bit....

I, on my part, was a little too possessive especially once when I had said no to a friend who wanted to borrow her for a dance night!
And now that its all over, I guess I have nothing to worry about. You do get to see so many better looking ones. A casual stroll in a market place or better still, in malls, is sure to guarantee that. And then again I am still in good shape!
As I look back I think it was a nice thing to do. It feels good to see her with someone who could not really afford to have her around. I am quite a generous chap!!

Last week while cleaning my room I found the packet that I received her in... was a birthday present from a few of my good friends.. tiny letters can still be read on it... "POLO XL"!
