Dear Potential Partner,
For starters, I say partner because somehow ‘girlfriend’ really isn’t my thing.
But more importantly, there’s something you should know: I love you. I say this because after almost half a decade of pain and heartache, I feel my heart is ready for another leap of faith. I say this because I see people all around me waste day after day trying to ‘test the waters’, not realising that good time is slipping away. I say this because I know in my heart, that although I had loved with all my might once, a long time ago, I’ll do it again – this time with more learning and wisdom – and make it stay till the end of time. I say this because I want to see your pretty face every single day and suddenly nothing else would matter around us. I say this because I want to kiss your perfect lips every waking moment, till they are sore and hurting, because I’d rather show you, than tell you, how much you mean to me. I say this because I know you’re out there, and you’re looking for me too, and maybe this is just an attempt to get closer to you.
I say this because I want to wake up next to you every morning and not want to get out of bed – ever. I say this because I want you forever, and even though everyone has a different version of it, for me it means the next few lifetimes. I say this because I want to sneak up behind you on a warm sunny afternoon and make love to you till the wee hours of the night. I say this because you’re my yearning, and you’re my pleasure. I say this because I want to be tantalized by your touch in a public place where I can’t possibly pin you against a wall and gobble you up. I say this because I want to know what your dreams are, and make them ours along the way. I say this because I want my every pore to ache for you when you aren’t around, and every pore to ache when you are, because you’ll give me so much joy.
I say this because I want you to know that you will always be enough. I say this because I want to hold your mesmerizing face in my hands and look straight into your eyes and tell you that I adore you, that you are my life, my breath, my soul – because you are. I say this because you’re the one I want to grow old with. I say this because I can almost smell your beautiful hair on a windy evening. I say this because I want you to know that I’ll love you just as much on your bad hair days. I say this because I want you to know that you and I, together, are going to change the world in our own little way. I say this because just thinking of you gives me goosebumps. I say this because you complete me – and because I feel it in my bones. But most of all, I say this because you have inspired me, today, to write after months, and that means everything to me.
See me soon,
Me.

I just want to know who you are 😉
Ping me on fb.
Hahaha! 😀 Can’t seem to find you 😀 You can look my up as Paneer Pokada on Facebook 🙂
Loved every bit of it 🙂
Thanks a ton! 🙂 means a lot!
Lovely 🙂 What starts off as a letter from a horny bugger ends up on quite a b’ful note.
🙂 thank you!
I read all your pieces after reading this one. I haven’t read something so astonishingly resonant and painfully beautiful as this in a very, very long time. For this, I thank you. Do you maintain a blog one can peruse?
Wow, Al Ed, I’m truly touched 🙂 Yes, I do maintain a blog you can access here: http://www.theovertickingbrain.wordpress.com
Do tell me what you think 🙂 would love to know! God bless and thank you once again 😀
Devouring it right now. Your blog is quite different from these posts. More candid, not as meditated. That has a different charm. Better in some ways. You seem to be seeped in nostalgia. Again, your ease with words shines forth most forcefully.
Hey paneer pakoda! fell in love with your name..would love to get in touch with you..Is there a way?
Thanks a ton! Check your mail 🙂 Happy new year!
Thanks to you, my longtime crush knows how I feel and returns my feelings! I used bits and pieces of your letter. Thank you so much, it is also a wonderful bit of writing and made me cry it was so beautiful. I am a budding writer, anyway i can contact you?
And I thought there aren’t any hopeless romantics left in the world. If I get this letter I would certainly catch feelings. Eloquent, bold expressive style, loved it. But the real question is, where to find you? PS- you are a foodie and I am a food blogger, coincidence I think not?
