to R...

you made me want to fall in love with myself when i had almost started hating me...
when friends and family started pointing out my flaws and i simply pretended to put on a brave face and fight back, you were the only one to realise that i was crumbling behind that tough exterior.

you stood by my side and made me understand, when it felt like nobody understood..all the time, making sure that you did not say anything which would hurt me further since you knew i already was at my vulnerable best..
there were times when i wanted you to stay away just like the rest of the world..i snapped at you because i was afraid---afraid that you would turn out to be like them, the ones who lost out on patience in the end and turned their back on me when i needed them the most..who kept digging at my flaws deepening the void i was already feeling inside...

but you understood..and stuck around..continued being the perfect friend--never wearing out on patience--building up my badly shaken confidence with your motivating and encouraging words..
these last two months have made me realise in bits and pieces, that sometimes we are so desperately trying to hold onto some dying relations, that we forget to notice the lasting unconditional friendships that have always been by our side..

and while joining the pieces of the puzzle today, i discover this deep sense of respect and pride for you and our decade long friendship, which is only growing with each coming day.

its true that i cannot give you my heart..but a piece of my soul now belongs to you and i promise i am never asking it back!! :)


thanks for teaching me to fly despite my broken wings...

@ R
right!! trust you to ignore the whole post and delve into that one small line :-|

that aside, i know you dont like me thanking you..but i did promise i'd write a post someday didn't i??
and it would look really rude if i tell everyone how big an idiot you are..so i exaggerated!!! ;P

@ anonymous
agreed---a true friend is the one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out!! :)


@ phoenix
true..life feels blessed if we have even one such a friend who understands us completely and loves us just the same despite our imperfections and more importantly without it seeming like a favour..
and im grateful to R for making me the see best in me when it felt like others were hell bent in pointing out the worst!
