The Crazy Lover.

In the vast spaces of his unbridled emotions, the crazy lover recently came across a particular feeling that he never experienced before. Sitting at the window seat in a bus and revelling in the gusts of air slapping at his face, he could make out the faint whispering of a haunting voice, a voice that was repeatedly muttering something which he could not decipher. After repeated straining of his thoughts, he finally realized what that voice meant. It was trying to make him realize certain truths which he was fully aware of but those which he would rather forget. Truths that had far-reaching consequences when avoided than when faced. Truths that forced him to believe in certain lies. Truths that don't mean a thing when accepted without understanding.

Memories started to flit back to those wonderful days when confusion reigned supreme. Those were the nascent stages of a blossoming relation, something which just cannot be stopped once started. The need to get out of the self-imposed shell was tempting indeed but he chose to tread the path cautiously. The fleeting glances, as well as those accidental meetings, had the charm of an infant yet the passion of a man who was slowly surrendering to her classy charms. She wasn't aware of the impending shock but the crazy lover, staying true to his name, jumped the gun and bared his heart out.

What followed was a roller-coaster of emotions and heartbreaks laced with happy moments that will be pasted in his memory for as long as he lives. This wasn't any adolescent submission but a well-thought-out acceptance of his own culmination into a guy who fell for a girl truly and sincerely. In the end, what transpired was something which they never imagined; but by their own experience, they knew pretty well that nothing was fixed to prosper and nothing is meant to last. They decided to take it as it comes and the crazy lover had no other option but to follow suit.

At present as the bus zips along with the rush of the midnight traffic, the crazy lover once again reminded himself that he had a purpose to serve and a reason to exist. It may take ages to learn the true value of some experiences, but the truth is that some of them go beyond the limit of meaning and purpose. You really have no idea why they happen. But when they do, sometimes it's the lack of purpose that sticks more than the experiences themselves.
