' It Could Never Have Been Better... ' Poem by Rosmin Elsa Mohan

It all started on a traditional 'arranged marriage ' note
Parents talked - exchanged photos and numbers..
And of course it was for us to make - the crucial decision of a Yes or No.

Still couldn't figure out what life had in store..
Prayed my heart out - desperately- wanted an answer..
Got none..but prayers never ceased nor did tears..
It was hard to breathe even before that Day..

when we finally met..
Dec 7.

That day, when I found all my answers..
As eyes met, a bridge was made..
A bridge so silent yet so deep..

The 20 minute encounter hardly gave a moment to wander in time.. even dreams got localized..

It defined a new language..
Words were less exchanged but thoughts were..
Or even beyond..I now hardly know..
But one thing was certain,

The answers to my prayers..

For now I realize what it all meant..
Love
Even in His word..

Patient and kind..
Not jealous or boastful..
Yes.
I found in him - All...
my Friend, my Partner, my Playmate, my Support, my Guide, my Teacher, my Lover....

My Life.

As days turned much brighter
and nights less lonelier..
A smile always lingered on..
Months ticked like seconds and it now feels like ages...
A beautiful portrait that s forever etched..
In my heart...
In my mind...
In my soul...

Yes.
It could never have been better! !
