Some of the most enduring love stories are often the shortest. You meet. You part. There are a million reasons why.
But what these relationships leave behind are often impressions  which are burnt into our beings. The awkward habit, the shameless bravado, the ribald sense  of utter corniness - the unflinching freedom she accorded you just by her presence.
As times go by, and we accumulate relationships like trophies or seek people as refuges, these transient lovers are the ones who, in spite of their absence, have already given life its meaning, who make sure that whatever else might happen, or not happen, in life hereinafter, there's worth they've given which will never get lost.

I am a poet based out of India. My book of poetry 'Of Love and Other Abandonments' was an Amazon bestseller. My second book 'Of journeys & Other Ways to Get Lost' is just out. Both are available as Kindle on Amazon.
