Worth the wait

Only I know how much my heart raced

The pace at which things were happening, I was amazed

When the 72 days count down changed to 12 days

When the 72 hours further dipped to 45 hours.

Earlier the wait of 3 months and another 6, seemed so long..

Followed by a rapid mysterious 1 month which brought us together and made the bond so strong..

There he stood in front of me..

After 309 days and 12 hours, we meet to see

And uncover the miracle that bought us together

While looking for the vibe and the assurance if this relationship, would get stronger

His first wave at me from the distance

His first gaze at me, with the world around being in silence

Our first touch with the rose petals lying on our palms

Our first prayer together with our slightly touching arms

The first smile to exchange the feeling of comfort

Got framed in my mind like a photographic memory, without an effort

As time passed I was speechless with my mind in zen

While he kept trying to make me smile, time and again

I questioned him, about his true intent

He assured me with the story that made me smile, as a symbol of my consent

While I wondered, what have I done to earn this gift of my life

He comes closer to hug and kiss me on my forehead, asking me to be his wife

This moment, this very moment, for which I had waited 30 years

Lasted only a minute, before I left to work smiling with my eyes full of tears.


PS: He's my beautiful breeze for life..  Mr. Pavan is his name.
