Dedicated To The Man Component
For the men who’ve walked in and out of my life
And trampled all over my heart and demonstrated just how tough it is
For the power struggles and conflicts
And the reshaping of me that came from it
For the betrayals and insults
And the lessons I learnt from them
For the distances and walls
And the strength I saw in myself at those moments
For the apologies and the remorse
And the compassion that I was surprised to feel
For burdens and expectations
And all my victories that were inspired by them
For challenges and opposition
And the direction that they pointed me in
For support and solidarity and belief in me
For the male component of my life
For being….
the father
the brother
the lover
the friend
the mentor
the teacher
the protector
the supporter
the idol
the opponent
the jailor
the other side
For love and tears
and smiles and conversations
and struggles and victories
and relationships and emotions
For completing and complementing me
A very happy Valentine’s day.

Pretty great post. I simply stumbled upon your blog and wanted to mention that I have really loved surfing around your weblog posts.
In any case I will be subscribing on your feed and I hope you
write again very soon!
@ Rakhi: Thank you very much! I’m really touched. While everything I have written is personally dear to me, I can’t tell you what a thrill it is, to have another person take the effort to go through my past posts and find something they like.
this was beautiful. i seem to have made a habit out of picking your old posts out of the archive. 😛
