I have always believed that most people we meet just walk in and out of our lives. And a quotation I encountered during my teenage days keeps me going: “The only people you need in your life are the ones who prove they need you in theirs.”

I admit I have trust issues. I don’t want to get out of my comfort zone. And I do not have many friends, because I know I don’t need a lot of humans in my life to make everything better.

I am very specific about friends and foes. I label them. I may have told you two silly secrets but that doesn’t mean I trust you. I tell you that I like your shirt, but that doesn’t mean I like you as a person.

Rarely do I let people into my life.

But here’s the story: I woke up one day and I felt so sure that I wanted him in my life that I would like to keep him there, to add him to my list of exceptions.

For him, I will move mountains. I will travel from the North Pole to the South Pole just to see his face first thing in the morning. He came into my life and, cheesy as it may sound, I was blown away.

He is interested in the things I love. I would complain about life’s little unimportant things and he would argue with me, but I like it :). I like it when we debate and then laugh over the silliest things after.

I am in love with the world because of him. Of, how great he is!

I want to have this man for my own. Unfortunately, I can’t. Because somewhere out there, DOTA misses him :D

We have been together for almost a year now, pretending to exist as normal lovers.

Today, we are holding on. But the time will come when we will have to let go. I have to. He has to.

Someday he will be a living proof that people can walk in and out of our lives. And I will be a miserable witness to it.

And I can imagine us meeting each other after a couple of years and just saying, “Hi! How’s life?” and then bidding each other goodbye. We will meet like old friends, and feel awkward afterwards.

This hasn’t happened yet. It can, it may not. I prepare myself every day for the possibility that I will lose him just like that. Five more minutes? :)
