Conversation with a loved one

M is Me
LO is my loved one.

M: Hi

LO: Hi. Ssup?

M: Nm. I love you

LO: I love you too

M: I really miss you since I left

LO: Hmmm, I didn't know you had left

M: But you said you love me. And you didn't even realise?

LO: Many people love me like you. I love many people like you.

M: Haven't you realised I'm gone even once for the past 2 weeks?

LO: Now that you mention it, I remember faintly that you haven't been near me for some time.

M: How does it feel?

LO: Doesn't make a real difference to me to be honest. I just miss you cycling around me, or just looking at me, silently admiring my beauty.

M: Ha! So you do remember me!

LO: Yes, it's coming back.

M: How you doing?

LO: Still the same. I'm not as beautiful as before, not as friendly and inviting. I still am me though, and that is something.

M: That sounds quite arrogant.

LO: It's an arrogance that comes with experience.

M: Anything new?

LO: Haha, are you seriously asking me this question? There's something new to me everyday. But it's all still the same. I don't change drastically. Looks like you're the one forgetting me.

M: No, I think of you everyday.

LO: I'll take your word for it. I can see you're changing. Pune is making you different.

M: Yes, every place has it's characteristic. And I'm alone, not sheltered by you.

LO: It's the people who leave me who say I change. It's the people who come into my life that make me change. Yet, I'm the same, the people change. Ironic isn't it?

M: This philosophy you give me goes over my head. You always surprise me and confuse me. But everyone still loves you.

LO: Yes, I've taught many people many things, often the hard way. But it's the reason I exist. I make others better so they can live better with me.

M: I really miss your influence.

LO: What's your name again?

M: Ha! You claim you love me and you don't even know my name. It's Lokahith.

LO: You'd know if you were in my place. People living with me abuse me, curse me all the time. But the instant I'm not there, they're all cribbing. They want me back. You're not like that I know. You loved me throughout. So I just liked to watch you go around. We never really had an introduction.

M: Thank You! That's the greatest compliment. Of everyone, I miss you the most.

LO: So how is this Pune? Already taken my place in your heart?

M: Never. I really miss you. I can't live without you. At every opportunity I'll be zooming back to you. You have defined me, led me, and made me. All the while I never knew that. I just thought you were beautiful. But leaving you has given me a new perspective.

LO: That's nice to hear.

M: I'm coming in October, back to you. Back to Bangalore City.
