We were best friends when we were kids.We lived in the same colony.I helped him in studies and accompanied him in games and he shooed the dogs for me.I cried whenever I had to pass by them as I was afraid they would bite me but he was always there for me to protect me.Growing up my school changed and so was his.Friendship faded and we turned into people who knew each other closely but still strangers for each other. Then my residence changed and I hardly saw him when I visited the colony. When I stepped into adolescence I paid no attention to him and committed many mistakes in my life.I Came into an unsuccessful relationship and then broke up with my ex. And In my life the only thing which was left was absolute 'nothing'.Months later I went to the colony to visit my grandparents but then on one miraculous day I saw him.He was soothing for my eyes as well as soul.I just stared at him blankly and felt a strange feeling in my heart.Then for the rest of the days I was there,I went to vast extents just to see him.After few days I realised I have feelings for him and the feelings were similar to the feelings of love and respect. In the coming days I saw him often and one day he shooed the dogs again for me. His actions melted my heart but I couldn't tell him my feelings.It was impossible between us but still I couldn't help my heart with it.Liking someone miserably without letting one know was nevery my way until I met him.His aura was quite captivating.I hope one day I could tell him that I like him more than I should.Everytime I look at him I fall in love all over again.I pretend to look around but I'm actually looking for him.Is this what secret love is? The small eye contacts between us makes my day and his smile makes me happy.He is the peace I have craved in my life.The peace ,the serenity,the calmness.Just his glimpses are enough to bring my mind at ease.But I'm afraid,I'm dumped once and Can't afford to break my heart again.So I will continue to love him...love him secretly... secretly to the eternity...
