Its All So Beautiful

*Dream Sequence Begins*

It was as if the clouds had been freshly washed and starched, and put up in the lovely blue sunny sky to dry. They were never as silky, and the breeze never so fragrant. Celebrating differences has its own magic. She found peace in my contentment, the contentment that had only been a dream for her so far. I found excitement in her search for it, the search that had always been alien to me.

I had become that proud happy person, whom every second man is jealous of. Having someone walk next to you, who is as hot as an F16 engine after an 8 hour sortie, can make hearts burn. I knew no limitations and no imperfection seemed too tough to get over. She could cherish my presence and I could walk through her dreams. Waking up every morning with her in my arms, and making love to the music of our happiness each night, I felt like a master lover and a pro at life. And somehow this seemed just right and enough to me. Life seemed just right and enough to me. I mean, who would want more? Oh wait! I am drifting a bit again. This is about her, not me.

Her smile had the power of an uncontrolled fission reaction. And she knew exactly how to control it, and make it work. So this was the time my transformation had already begun, under the auspice of her smile. Her gentle unspoken need for more life, was metamorphosing me into my Acid Bug self. She taught me how to live more than what I otherwise did. She taught me the 'thirst'. And she taught me how to go ahead and quench it.
She was living her wild dream fearlessly, and had the comfort of hiding herself in my arms whenever she felt the need. This was the most fulfilling time of our lives, so far. For her, because she felt like she was making progress on her journey in search of happiness. And for me, because I was relishing the excitement of it all.

Love has a strange beauty that can’t be captured in words, but has been attempted time and again. To her love felt something like this. "What seems so right, actually turns out to be right, and it just goes on and on, forever."

*Dream Sequence Ends*

She did see the beauty of contentment and peace, while indulging in excitement and thirst. I knew this was the path to her happiness, and it beautifully balanced her life. I felt so powerful and confident that I wanted to take her to destination 'Happiness' right away! But I soon realized that, her happiness was in looking for it. And this 'soon' was probably a little 'late'.

It was all too beautiful and too perfect, and nothing so perfect could last forever... or could it?
