A Warm Winter Dream

On a cold winter morning, he saw her for the first time ....

It was almost as if a ray of warm sunlight was reaching out to him through the cold winter fog 

And, even though he wished to walk away, 

It was as if time froze for him.

Her smile was like a beautiful dream; 

And her presence felt like the most beautiful warmth that he had ever experienced in all these 20 winters of his life!

This warmth was unique, it was like an assurance of some good that was awaiting him.

And then finally, she too laid her eyes on him!

 That's how began a sweet saga!

This winter would sure be different for him and memorable too....

                                  *******

Then suddenly, he woke up with a jolt, it wasn't morning yet, the December wind was a little uncomfortably cold; he lay still inside his furry blanket trying to comprehend the details of his dream that were still fresh on his mind.

A soft smile spread out on his lips, he had been dreaming of her....

She, who came into his life on a December morning, twenty years ago, had not yet left his mind . She had walked in like a dream- a dream that seemed like a promise of a beautiful future;

But then one day, she left almost as unexpectedly as she had come into his life.

And yet every December he would wait for her to come back - 

Maybe such is the nature of  love, you can never really forego it completely ......
