The Ache

Have u ever felt an ache in the heart that hurts physically? I have and it hurts so much. When I lie on my bed and stare at the white ceiling, I feel this pain. At times I enjoy this pain. You know the ache because you long for someone; I like this feeling of longing. Along with the pain it also gives me warmth. Ya, you may feel that this pain is self inflicted. At one glance, it may seem so. But if you look at it a little more closely you will realize that it’s not self inflicted. You came like a breeze, touched me, touched my soul and now you are going. Could I have avoided it? I tried to but I just became a dried leaf which swayed with the breeze. And, now I am transported here without anything but just the feeling and the pain. It was a moment and a moment which transformed me and left its indelible mark. You came and penetrated my soul, my heart. You saw the real me, you felt me, my happiness, my sorrows as if it were your own. You made me laugh at the silliest of things and you made me cry. The time has come for us to move on and I know that there isn’t anything that I can do about it. This was the only time I was meant to be with you. Then why does my heart crave for more and more? Why does it ache?
