Planets, we are!

from the diaries of Tanvi

"I alone am not your world, right!"

That’s how he gave me permission to take leave for the day after we met for a sip of coffee. A small part of me was wondering with a gleeful smile as it is one of the lines we would want to hear at sometime in a relation. But the other contemplated comparing the situation and scenes that happened between us. This part dominated and I was lost in thought.

There were times when I behaved like he is the only one I have to take care in my life. But at every such impression of mine, his actions reprimanded me on my thought process and fenced my feelings. It resulted in me coming to a conclusion that we are in two different worlds. At times I even fail to understand his state of mind and it keeps bothering me.

We are two different planets revolving in our orbits, mutually exclusive and independent. There is not even a minor chance of us colliding. The pattern of our orbits is such that we come very close to each other at a certain point of time. Past few years seem to be that period. Few things get exchanged, moved, thrown apart due to mutual gravitational forces but after this phase, we part in our separate ways without any knowledge of when we are going to come close again!!
