Ponderous cogitations...

Some people come into our life, stroking it ever so gently with their soothing touch that it leaves behind a mark etched so deep in our memories that it becomes absolutely chimerical on our part to wipe it off. Call it magic, the time spent with them howsoever routine and monotonous seems to be the best time of our lives.
The tender touches, that little pulling of each other's leg, those small moments of joy so beautifully interwoven that life seems so complete and gorgeous. We walk in the park holding hands, script wild fantasies together, talk about all the weird things in this world that our otherwise so very rational mind would bar us from gibbering. We get so used to spending time together that we don't wanna think about the possibility of not being able to do so.
This is when the omnipresent shows his might and forces us to part, but then in this Tech savvy world distance never appears like bringing about a hiatus in our relationship. we depart, making all sorts of promises to stay in touch. This is when i usually say to myself that hope is the most beautiful thing in this world.
Flight boarded, destination reached, picked up the phone.."hey!!!"(the hey from the other side seems so warm and full of excitement), the excitement is palpable in the initial few days but the story takes a turn now. The "we" changes to a "I" henceforth.
Its been 10 days since i last saw her but i talk to her almost everyday though the density has been decreasing exponentially. I ponder about giving her a surprise special call, think about some amazing things to dole out over the phone. Number dialed...tring,tring,tring...she's so late in picking up the phone that I am about to put down the receiver.."Temme".."oh! hii!!,just thought would talk to you generally"(the cold temme has already turned me off, i have forgotten all the amazing stuff i was supposed to blabber) " oh!!..but..err..".."Hey!! i hope its ok if i talk to you now".."well!!!err.. not actually i am supposed to be talking to my friend now..(who am i??)she's home".." oh!! cya then, bye"..cut
A sane human being would expect her to call back, sms back or atleast mail back.."duh!"..The waits going to be endless. My ego tells me "forget her.period", I delete her from my gtalk,delete her messages and phone no.(well do u really need to store it, u know it by heart anyways ) ,thinking if I don't see the name it'll be easy to delete her from my memory too but the so very sweet and nice human being that i am..one li'l buzz one day and i forget it all but then the proximity has decreased. I am just another guy in her gtalk list and vice-versa. Its been 6 months since i last chatted with her. In some cases she might appear to be offline from my id all the time.
i had been told by many of my close buddies to stay away from such dangerous short term(long distance) associations and they had foretold me about this end but i never paid any heed to their incessant blabber on this issue and i am happy that i didn't...
Knock knock..a sudden twist in the tail...this one's having a happy ending..they kept on talking and their friendship wasn't an ephemeral one. Their practical outlook towards life stopped them from doing anything outrageously special but then they continued being in the comfort zone, loved sharing little things about their lives. I still say to myself hope is the most beautiful thing in this world.
But finally a word to those who actually bring about a premature termination to this budding friendship. It is a very arduous task to find people who would love you and care for you truly and selflessly all their life so if you have found one, kindly continue sparing some of your precious time and energy to let this association blossom. The absence of this someone won't make your life incomplete or abominable but then the presence would surely make it more complete and beautiful.
