๐Ÿ˜˜ ๐Ÿ˜โ€œOne Day with โ€œTaniaโ€: A Love I Canโ€™t Forget ๐ŸŒ™โ€

How we met:-

It all started online. It was a stupid remark which she left on her Facebook page and there was nothing much to it, just a casual statement but it was the beginning of something that would change me forever. She responded and I wrote her message.

At first, we were just friends. Best friends, really. The dialogue was smooth, with jokes, serious conversations, and ridiculous memes and emotional confessions. Video calls were next, and in the not so distant future, I had to see her face every day.

Weeks and months went by and I felt something inside of me. I waited reflecting on each word, each moment, every feeling. Almost a year later, on one day, I told she: I love you.

Then I struck me, the stupidity of my own stupidity. I said to myself, why do half-wits take so long to tell me I love you?

The First Meeting: The Face-to-face of Her.

It was one day that I saw her first. Tania. My Tania. My beauty๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’ž. We got together at the bus stand in the town of Dambulla and at this point, all my waiting, all my longing, all my words unspoken were worth it.

She was beautiful, with long hair floating down her back, and a kind light in her eyes, and the quiet, graceful self-assurance of a nurse who was at home heeling others. I could not stop staring, but I attempted to appear normal. My heart was knocking but she smiled, and all was well.

Walking through Memories: Adventure to Anuradhapura๐Ÿฅฐ.

We spent the whole day of the holy city of Anuradhapura. Our story unfolded in ancient temples, picturesque lakes and sun-strewn streets.

Each look I received, each laugh we had or shared, each little touch, even the accidental brush of hands, made the city seem like it was ours.

At Nelumkole we paused and took lunch and gossiped. Nothing in the day seemed like ordinary. The wind was even softer, and her laughter and mine, and my excitement, were swept over the streets.

This world seemed to be silent and unlimited by the time the sun had started descending, about 5 pm, and I had to go. I rode a bike home but the memory of that day remained with me. It was a beautiful day in my life, a day I will never forget.

Moments That Stay: What Memories She Left Behind.

Although we barely had a chance to see each other once, Tania left many memories. How her eyes shone when she saw something new, how sweetly she laughed at my jokes, how kindly she was, how warm all this was, all of this left a mark on my heart.

She went, but she did not go out of my life. I can still feel every moment that we spent. All smiles, all common words, all glances are a movie which I cannot stop watching.

Lessons in Love and Regret ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’Œ

We have beautiful memories since these are memories that remind us of happiness. Others hurt us as they remind us of the things we have lost. And both at times at the same time.

To this day I pose myself the question: why did I not do it sooner? Why can fools take such a long time saying I love you?

Tania โ€” my nurse, my beauty, my memory โ€” though she has left me, and is leading her own life, elsewhere; she still lingers in my heart. The time we spent together, the laughing, the walks, the day in Anuradhapura, they will remain with me.

And perhaps that is what love is all about. Not possession, not forever. Only moments, moments that cause a point, moments that make you remember how alive you were at the time.
