Letter to Tara

Dear Tara,

Everyone could see Ved's story, his moods, his struggle. But, nobody could see, what you went through in those years you two were apart.

I still remember while leaving, how you threw your head back to the seat, the moment I realized that you're never gonna see him again ever, perhaps you realized the same.

Thank you, Tara.. for showing us the true meaning of trust. When Ved said.."I am a face in the crowd. I am not the one you're looking for. Leave me alone!" Trust was looking into his eyes and knowing the inside struggle he was going through, without him saying anything about it. Trust was holding onto the faith in yourself and your love, without any judgements. Trust was when holding on his gaze you said to him..." Yahi toh baat hai na Ved..Yahi toh tum nahi ho!"

Ved could see those teary eyes of yours and still he chose to let you go. It was not the pain he was giving you..Tara! But rather a punishment he was giving to himself. Yes, your teary eyes were his punishment, more than yours! 

It was you who made him smile, when he felt lost.

If only you knew you've always been his happy pill, just the way he had been to you.

How do you think it was easy for him to let go off someone who could actually see him in a world where he felt invisible..lost in the crowd.  

What if Imtiaz is correct when he says.."we often are scared of the ones who can see through us!" 

And sometimes, we distance ourselves from the ones we love even if that tears us apart, not bcoz love is not that strong between the two, but to let something else take its place, only to realize in the end that nothing can ever replace it!
