Au Revoir - Infy!!

It was 16th Jun 2004 when my love accepted me. Although I was in college that time she allowed me to complete my engineering and then join her at Mysore. Our relation became official on 8th Aug 2005 when she welcomed me with the splendid gardens and amenities of her home. I became one of the so many people who wanted her love.
I had set my eyes on her when I was in third year of engineering. Now after the third year of our relationship I have realized that I am not worthy of her love. I therefore plan to improve myself to address the shortcoming. Our relationship, as any other, has had its share of joys and sorrows; agreements and disagreements; happiness and quarrels; anxieties and disappointments. There were times when we felt we should part ways but we somehow we reached an agreement and managed to stay on with each other for some more time. A compromise here and an adjustment there – that is how life is.
During these years I also interacted with the so many others seeking her love. Some actually found it too. She had been kind on a few which left the others disgruntled, harsh to some who left her for finding better matches and there were few who continued to love her despite all her flaws only because they saw merit in each facet of hers or because they were afraid of seeking new love. From the so many competitors of mine, I learnt a lot about how to maintain a balance between her needs and my needs. Most of them encouraged me and were on my side – talking mostly about my benefit, helping me achieve my ambitions etc. I reciprocated the same feeling without any prejudice. This symbiotic relationship helped me achieve some of the biggest feats in my life thus far. My love also rewarded me with better care and encouragement. She presented me with new avenues to explore, new thoughts to chew on and new directions to my life.
Her father has been pivotal in shaping my vision for life. His magnanimous nature, clear thinking, selfless devotion to his daughter’s well-being and the well-being of her surroundings have had a deep impact on me. It will be my endeavor to make myself worthy enough to share a platform with him.
The decision to move on is a difficult one and it will take time for me to get over her. Her offerings that took care of me, helped me know myself better, provided me the best of environments to develop myself, above all ensured that I become what I have will always stay fresh in my mind. To be associated with such a wonderful person has been an honor. Although I am happy to have achieved my ambition I would never forget the support and opportunity she provided. After all first love is unforgettable.
