I was trying to fit in the crowd when an extraordinary smile beamed across the crowd, amidst the development happening in the world. That smile tried to communicate with the beat of my heart, in the strictest sense of the process. It happened in just a click... and pooff!! There goes the start of something new.

We started smoothly. She came. I came. She saw the potential in us. I saw the glowing glory between us.

We conquered boundaries.

We did things together. We were happy. We saturated our existence. I did not notice that we were already hanging on the cliff of impossibility. We tried to hang on. I tried, I know. But I realised that she might not want to hold on. I gave up... first. The moment I let go, that was the time when it came to my mind that I was too weak. Too brittle for her.

I lost her.

When I reached the ground from falling, there was a woman sitting on top of one of the stones standing beside the river. I went near to her to drink because I noticed that the water below her feet was sparkling like crystal. I sat beside her. I smiled.

I saw her. I came to know her. But she never saw me. She never wanted me near her. I never conquered the moment with her.

I woke up. I sat. It was all but a dream, a tale of love - lost and almost found.
