After Many Years, I Met Her Today…
The last time we met, she had come to give me her wedding invitation.
“Please come,” she said. “You’ve always supported me. I want you to continue doing so till my last breath… I want you as my friend forever.”
But I couldn’t.
There’s just a thread-thin line between love and friendship, and we had unknowingly crossed it.
I ended up proposing to her — the answer was obvious….No because she was practical & I always believed in my manifestation power. Then what was the reason, It wasn’t just caste, our religions were different too. Religion.
It’s common that Friendship often transforms into love. ..But what’s right and what’s wrong — only the creator knows.
Love, attraction, desire, or pure friendship — what should one choose?
At that age, unfortunately, we don’t understand.
The mind plays games, and we lack the awareness to even realize it.
Eight years passed.
Her anger remained.
The trust was lost — and things never go back to how they were.
But time is the greatest healer of all wounds.
This tangle of the heart needed time to settle…
But I miss my true friend and her pure, innocent friendship.
After that, we only spoke on birthdays — just wishes.
Living with unspoken feelings locked inside is not a healthy way to live.
But would it happen again?
Could that friendship be rebuilt?
Could we again stand for hours outside the college bus stop and talk endlessly?
Would I ever get back that simple, pure, early-day friendship with her?
I used to write everything about her in my diary…
Her nature was genuinely beautiful — and that alone was enough for me to fall in love with her.
That’s all it was — a mistake of youth, or maybe a trick of nature.
“If this had happened… if that had happened” — the mind keeps playing those games.
But in reality, nature orchestrates it all.
Unfinished conversations, like incomplete poems —
Any relationship needs understanding, maturity, and grace.
Instead of a mental chess game, we need real, emotional conversations.
So I made up my mind — today I went to meet her.
With hope in my heart that I’d find that old friend again.
I only wanted to say one thing:
“Losing a friend like you isn’t something anyone can afford.
You are a soulmate the universe gave me, even if not in the form of a life partner.”
After many days, our eyes met.
A bit of nervousness, a trembling hand — it was natural.
“How come you’re here?” she asked.
I lied: “I was around, so I dropped by.”
But I knew the truth — eight years of distance was reason enough,
And in the last two years, we lived just an hour apart but never met.
My heart always felt heavy —
I came just to say, “Sorry, if I ever made a mistake.”
I talked my heart out.
What was unspoken for years was finally expressed.
She too, though hesitant at first, later opened up completely.
Today, I saw the same honesty, the same innocence in her —
And I was overwhelmed.
She is still the same.
Even now, she cannot lie.
As I used to tell her in the past, I said it again today:
“Take care. Even if we don’t talk regularly, we are universally connected…
Because we are true friends. And keeping that truth alive matters the most.”
And for all the unanswered questions about life and destiny —
You too must search.
Because pain doesn’t come from people or events — it comes from thoughts.
Try to understand the many invisible rules of life.
May your life be filled with joy, peace, prosperity, health, and pure simplicity —
This is my prayer to Nature, God, Ishwar, Allah…Pure Consciousness.
