Five Weeks

"It was all my fault. I should have told you last night. I should've not hurt you. I should've not given you so much space to leave me." Yuvraaj swabbed his tears and hid his face in his palms. He started having cold feet. Perhaps, it was how it had to ended. Maybe, he wasn't made for her. Yet, there was a lot to say to her. It was left to give her credit for filling his life with her giggles and kisses. It was left to tell her that he was in bliss having her in his arms. It was left to remind her that she must not trust anyone so easily. It was left to warn her not to get close to wrong person.

Yuvraaj had realised it correctly that she was a kid by heart. Still a twelve years old who fought with her over a cola can. Foremost, he was yet to tell her that he loved her. But she wasn't there and he missed her.

Like he missed her all these years.
