I was sitting on the boulder looking at the water, how it was hitting the rock and simultaneously moving away.
Like it wanted to enclose the whole rock under it and never leave while the rock was trying hard to push it away.

It was the last day with him. He would be leaving for his flight back home exactly after 8 hours. I was dreading the coming hours. But today was so nice. I was finally alone with him.

I looked back trying to find him. He was talking to a guy, most probably asking him a way out of the trail we were lost in. He was so interested in talking to the locals in city, asking them questions like a young, curious person! the one I always wished to be! May be that's why, I had fallen for him. He was exactly what I could never be! Cool, calm and extrovert!

How beautiful life was at the moment. I was with him at a faraway land amidst the beautiful falls. I remembered how good and complete it felt the last time we were holding hands. And the day we walked through the whole city. How all the events had come together to let us be with each other. I felt like I was at a better place now. Yet, I was afraid that it would soon be over.
I was going to miss him so badly. My mind was having flash backs of the last few days that I spent with him when he interrupted me " Still thinking about your ex, huh? "

I looked at him, pitying myself.
Even after all those moments we spent with each other, all those intimate eye contacts we shared and all the bare-soul talks we had, he still didn't know that I had fallen for him. Or may be he was like the rock, pushing and pulling the water at the same time, playing with me as though I had no feelings.

"No, I was thinking about why these boulders don't make place for water to surrender" I replied pointing to a nearby stone.
He went into a deep thought for awhile.
"The water here cannot be contained within the boulders. It has its own destiny and a long way to go. The rocks are present just to guide it's way towards the sea, waiting to merge with it and transform into a magnificent character." He replied, his eyes reflecting the the ocean of thoughts he was having. True wanderlust he was!

Maybe indirectly, but he taught me one of the biggest lesson of my life and that's when I realized
That he is too, just a guide in my life.

That now or later, I had to let him go.
