At sea

I am not a perfect guy nor will I claim to be. I came into this world and my parents guided me through my life telling me what was wrong and right. It was a beautiful time cause everything had well defined boundaries. But then somewhere along this way, I left them behind and ventured out into this world on my own. I had friends there who were travelling the same path and kept me company. I started burning my fingers and learning life and world the hard way, yet it was fun cause the friends made it worthwhile. Often you made mistakes but your friends forgave you cause they were innocent and travelling through the same road making the same mistakes and knew that you were not perfect but you did aspire to be. But even they got lost and what remained was you and the world. Alone and at sea, where there was land all around you yet the closest one was below you. Often I swam alone with no direction but a sense of purpose, a purpose to find land and my destination. A purpose to be able to stand straight on my feet without any fears. On this journey I met you and found that perhaps it was not the destination that mattered at all. I was having such a lovely time swimming along with you, wading through the waters, gulping a lot of that salty water but it was ever so sweet, cause I saw your smiling face along side me after each one of those moments. I hoped at times that I may have chosen the wrong path, that land was never to be found and that I could swim with you forever. Many a times I swam away but you called me back taking my name and telling me the right path. I was foolish, I thought you were wrong at time and would take my own sense to be perfect but I realised it was not about being right, it was about being with that one person who could make you smile and about whose smile you care and would do everything in the world just to be with her. Even if it meant to stop heading anywhere and just to stay afloat in one place with that person seeing her each low or high tide, each night, each day and never get tired of it. In you I have found that person, that solace of having a partner that would be with you on all journeys. Who would saunter along with you if you wish and giddy up when you liked, that person that you can take for granted yet you never do, that person around whom you want to spin your life around. No person is perfect and nor will she be, nor will I be. We both will make mistakes but when you do make a mistake you go back to the person who would be willing to embrace you with open arms, and if she makes a mistake you would be not act sensibly but wait up for her to turn back and look at you and see you there standing and waiting for her with open arms. It is these trials and tribulations, going away and standing ground, being hugged and hugging back that you make a life perfect cause you have both walked wrongly but had the other person to tell you that you did err and had the other person to correct you and guide you ever and forever.....

I hope one day I would be that person to you to as you have been to me. Forever in love with you.....
