#ReverseChronology

We finally meet...
Don't you remember,
how our life flourished,
under the roof together,
sleeping in the same bed,
all the love and making out,
those kisses and cuddles,
holding hands, tight embrace,
that was a sudden change,
from your shy demeanor....

For, it was our first night,
tired from the ceremonies,
that were held to celebrate,
our union, in official wedding,
wearing the heavy lehenga,
and lots of gold jewelry,
that we had chosen together,
accompanying the shopping,
with our respective parents,
buying rings, for our engagement...

It was our mutual decision,
after much of the deliberation,
to actualize, years of our relation,
from friendship, to becoming lovers,
as we had known for long,
trusted our deepening bond,
from strangers to colleagues,
as I came, from a different town,
carrying my dreams and ambitions,
that were part of my upbringing.
