My dream girl!!!



As my fingers start moving on these keys on my dark keyboard, I am looking at a brighter aspect of life. A movie that I had just seen in television just worked as an inspiration into scripting this piece of literary rambling, but I am pretty sure this would make interesting reading as these words come right from the heart. There is that eternally romantic song playing in the background....There is the picture of the woman who captured my heart and occupied my dreams for the first time in my life...There is the yearning for being wanted by that single individual from the opposite sex, who would make you a complete man. Love is not in the air...but, I can certainly feel the breeze blowing past the strands of my hair and I know that it is indeed on it's way....I just need to realise it and hold on to it when it sweeps past me.
Before I start on the journey of discovering love through words written here, let me ask myself the all important question. What is love? Do I know what love is and will I be able to identify it when it happens to me? I need to be sure about it because if I am not, then what will follow in this literary piece will lose it's meaning. I have always seen love not just as an emotion. It is more than that. If you ask me, I would probably treat love as an extra sense...something other than the five basic senses. I know that you will laugh at my conclusion. But, what are our senses? They give us a perception about the world around us. Taste, Smell, Touch, Sight, Feel....so, in effect they help us in conducting ourselves as organized and better individuals. Now, how does love work as a sense? Have you ever observed a guy in love? He might be a guy not worried about his looks...not worried about time....not worried about his health. Once, he falls in love, he suddenly undergoes a complete metamorphosis. In most cases, I can confidently state that the rough guy becomes a well dressed and polished gentleman. It happens because the guy suddenly has a partner to impress and that makes him more conscious in whatever he does. Even though most guys do not admit it, it is natural law that an entity from one gender would try it's best to impress a partner from the opposite gender. We call it love. Nature gives it a better name...Protection of the species, because it eventually leads to offsprings and ensures that the species is saved from extinction.
I have always tried to visualise the girl of my dreams. I know that the woman who occupied my heart during my college days is never going to fade away from memory. First love and first kiss always remains in your mind. When I talked to a person who became a close friend within a very short span of time, I was forced to think about my life and the significance of love in my life. I have always wondered what it would feel like to wake up everyday from bed at the crack of dawn and visualise that beautiful face even before my eyes opened up into the realms of reality around me. The sight of her face within my mind and behind my closed eyes, will be a promise of good luck and a hope of a great day. When I open my eyes, my first thought would be to grab her photo so perfectly captured and so elegantly framed, and give it a kiss, assuring myself that I am going to see her again. What a great start for a day. I will not feel lazy or tired in doing my morning chores because the main target for the day was to see her again and talk to her. I spend more time in front of the mirror chosing my dress, arranging my hair and giving finishing touches to my whole attire. Obviously, my dress would be the type and colour that she prefers. I do not want to come a cropper before her at the start of a wonderful day.
As I step within the four walls of my destination, I could visualise her standing inside, waiting for me to come in. The anxious eyes and the nervous cracking of her fingers, expecting my arrival would assure me that here is a person who is really eager to see me. When I walk in, I can see her eyes growing wide and that closed lips opening up , into a beautiful smile. I can read her joy in finally having set eyes upon me. But, the professional within her forbades her from an excessive display of emotions. I can see her fidgetting in her position, trying hard not to make it obvious. The eyes which were looking out into the corridors and the ears which were strained to catch the sound of my footsteps, were suddenly diverted into work. I understood that it was a ploy to convince me that my entrance did not cause any difference in her demaneour. As I sign the attendance register, I can see the disturbed body language and the sideways glances. I knew that I just had to spread my arms and she would come running to me.
When she walks past me, I forget to admire her looks or physical appearance. None of the usual comments that comes from a guy's mouth on seeing a beautiful girl, is delivered here. I just stand still, my eyes closed and inhale her feminine aroma. I know that her fragrance will be etched in my senses and I will be able to recognise it from a distance. As she walks past me, she is careful not to look at me and smile. I know that she does that purposefully, to playfully irritate me. As my anger boils over, and she has gona quite a distance from me, she looks back and gives me that charming smile. At that moment, all the anger that I had carefully constructed, shatters into pieces. Anger loses it's meaning in front of her and I am transformed into a kitten from the roaring lion that I was moments ago. Women are indeed powerful and quite capable in harnessing a guy's feelings. As I work, she comes and stands behind my chair. I don't even have to look back to know that she is there. Her presence suddenly elevates the performance levels of my senses and I am more alert than ever. She carefully watches me work without uttering a word. Meanwhile, my mind yearns for a touch and I pray to God for her fingers to brush my shoulders. Fortunately, God was awake and grants me my wish. As her fingers accidentally brushed against my body, my whole body shuddered and it made her also conscious and she suddenly walked away. I cursed for the sensitive response from my body to the physical touch that I most yearned for. But, even as she walked away, she once again gave me that sensous smile. Smile ceases being a physical expression and becomes a poem on her face, laced with the charm of her feminine beauty.
Suddenly, it is afternoon and time for lunch. When we sit for having our food, she makes it a point to sit across me. As I try hard to concentrate on my food, I can see her dark eyeballs following my each move. Even as I stretch to reach for the glass of water, she shows an unnecessary hurry in passing it to me. When I take the glass from her hand, my fingers accidentally brushes against her fingers and I could sense her body shudder this time. People sitting around was having a whale of a time joking about us, but we were totally oblivious to their comments. We were lost in a world of our own and we were communicating through our eyes. Even as she finished her lunch and was about to move out, I was coming in for another glass of water. We almost bumped into each other and I could see her cheeks turning bright red as I held her to prevent her from falling. Her hand felt cold and it felt like she did not want to get up. Yet again, she awarded me with that million dollar smile.
Before we knew it, it was evening. We moved out of office and went straight to the beach. When we sat on the beach, with her head on my chest and both of us looking out into the sea, I knew this was the life I had yearned for. The setting sun had made the sky a colourful canvas and there was a myriad of colours strewn over the horizon. Sunset signifies the end of the day, but for us, it provided the perfect setting to hold onto each other more strongly. With her head on my shoulders, I felt more responsible and realised that she made me complete. WIth her hand inside my hand and my cheek resting on her head, I realised that this was the most beautiful moment of the day. It was slowly getting dark, but we were not really noticing it. We were seeing the ocean with it's powerful waves and feeling the love we had for each other.I knew then that I do not have to be someone else with this wonderful woman. She accepted me as I am and what more can I expect from my partner. I realised that it was no longer me and her...but US!!!
Coming back to the real world, I know that it is all a dream. But, I presume everybody needs to dream. Dreams have transformed nations and individuals. The power to dream is awesome. Hence, I too will dream of that woman, who will accept me with all my negative points and appreciate the positives within me... who will stand beside me in times of distress and offer me her lap to rest my head when I am tensed...who will run her fingers through my hair and kiss my forehead making me relaxed and happy....who will listen to my worries and will help me get over them all....who will always give me a smiling face and make me smile too. The day such a girl walks into my life will be my judgement day...but, this judgement day will be for the good and definitely for life!!!!
Let me sign off with the lyrics of the song which I was hearing when I started writing this anecdote

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
I don't wanna close my eyesI don't wanna fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you, babyAnd I don't wanna miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of youThe sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, babyAnd I don't wanna miss a thing


I LOVE YOU MY DREAM GIRL!!!
