were to come true,it was  at that very moment.the girl i had seen in my dreams,the girl every guy  prays for,was in front of me,on the screen.the smile,the eyes,the  pretty locks,even the silliest mannerisms&#8230;it all was a part of my  dream girl.that perfect pout could make the most hardened criminals,go  weak in their knees;those expressive eyes which spoke a million  words;the innocence which belied a little girl hidden inside the adult  physicality of yours-it was all well integrated,to create the &#8216;sculpted  by god&#8217; persona of yours.who was i to not get attracted??heck,attraction  is the smallest possible word that can be used to describe the passion  which was ignited in my teenaged mind.to me you became the epitome of an  ideal girl-whenever i came across a pretty lass,the first thought in my  mind was,how would she compare upto reena??the scene where you gorge on  street golgappas,made me sit up,and watch in disbelief-can anybody in  this world and age,or rather can a mortal,exude such innocence??my mouth  gaped in awe as i saw a fairy sing &#8216;roothega na mujhse&#8230;zara zara  mehekta hai&#8217;!!i closed my eyes with you in the scene where maddy is  about to kiss you,for,to me,you represented an ethereal creation of the  almighty,who might get spoiled even on touching,who needs to be treated  with the ultimate care &amp; delicate handling.i was enraged when maddy  made you wait for a date,i would rather be the gatekeeper,roll out the  red carpet for my love,rather than make her wait for me.to me,he  committed a sin no lesser than the devil!!i cried when i saw saddened by  the turn of events which made you realize that maddy was lying to  you;heck,watching my beloved broken hearted,was the last thing i could  withstand on this earth.i yelled at myself for my helplessness at doing  nothing to mend my sweetheart&#8217;s heart.my heart cried when in the end  maddy convinces you to be with him forever;which lover would cherish a  scene like this??but then,you were happy,and that&#8217;s what mattered to me  most,more than my own misery,the pain of never seeing you again,the  agony of losing you,the uncountable number of nights where i woke up in  horror on reliving the final scene in my dreams,the hours spent watching  in silence,as i found out,something important was missing from my  life.well ultimately as i found out,it was my &#8216;life&#8217; itself which was  missing from my life!!i have spent these 9 years missing you every  moment,thinking of the pretty smile that would appear on your face as i  cracked an innocuous joke,your sadness on listening to my hardships,the  blush on your eternally pretty face as i praised you&#8230;well all that was  never to be.but don&#8217;t mistake me;i don&#8217;t regret making you a part of my  life.it was the best experience of love,as they call it,that could have  ever happened to me,and i shall forever be greatful to my lord for  it.an imaginary love relationship with you,is a million times better  than a succesful,life long one with any other person;i can bet my life  over it.now that i have an opportunity to correspond to you through this  medium,i wished to express some of my uncountable emotions of affection  for you.alas,words may not be left in the english vocabulary to do  so,hence i may end this letter right here itself,with a few lines of  poetry as my parting shot.lovers wish for their beloved to live  forever,i would rather pray for your death,so as you maybe reborn  faster,and hopefully i may have the honour of being your partner this  time around.adieu,my lady&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Just a moment ago<br \/>\nMy mind went to where my heart is<br \/>\nLooking at your photo I thought\u2026<br \/>\nIf you are a piece of god\u2019s creation,<br \/>\nHe must be a fine artiste<br \/>\nAll the memories of yours<br \/>\nWhich used to be my lifeline<br \/>\nCame back to haunt me<br \/>\nOf the gone by time<br \/>\nWhen my days started with your thoughts<br \/>\n&amp; nights ended with your giggles<br \/>\nWhen you used to worry about<br \/>\nThe smallest of my niggles<br \/>\nWhen to just have a glance at you<br \/>\nI would risk my all<br \/>\nWhen I could defy even the almighty<br \/>\nAt just your one call<br \/>\nJust as I refresh my memories<br \/>\nThe heavens open up<br \/>\nMay be it\u2019s god\u2019s own style<br \/>\nOf waking me up<br \/>\nFrom my walk down the memory lane<br \/>\nI experience the same old pain<br \/>\nAs I say once again,\u201dgood bye,sweety\u201d<br \/>\n&amp;
