I saw her asleep quietly in bed, lying still like a baby in cradle, arched on her side with one hand extended towards me. Giving me the look that tempts me to hug her... and never leave. I wish to kiss her, hold her... but i can't wake her... I want to let her know how much i miss seeing her next to me...
So, i kept a rose next to her arm... and i could bet my life over how the touch of rose petals seemed so rough in comparison to her skin.
Still she slept sound like a calm sea of morning, and i wished i didn't had to wake her up...
But, it was already 4 am, BIG day today... After all, it was the valentine's day and the best moment to show what i felt for her...
I kissed her on the forehead and said, "Rise n shine honey,"... and whispered in her ear, "I have a surprise for you...", and kissed her again..
Slowly she opened her sweet little eyes, still adjusting to light around... and whispered.. "Again, you were up watching me asleep??"
I wished i could say NO, but we both knew, she already knows the answer... :)
She sprang up on the bed and yelled, "where is the surprise!!", surprising me with her sudden excitement...
Somehow, I convinced her to freshen up and meanwhile i went to make breakfast... scrambled eggs with English muffin...
She came out, still wrapped in towel with hair hanging loose, drenched in water or i must say... dipped in "I LOVE THE MOST" look...
Even when the sun wasn't up, i felt so rejuvenated with her glistening body and fresh smell while she came close and hugged me...
Finally, we both got ready, she had the breakfast and we stepped out of the house...
And, to her surprise, there stood a cab (i planned earlier) with roses on the backseat...
I said to driver, "Please take us to Bowling Green Park".
And here we go... Sitting with the most beautiful lady in the whole world, the shiniest, loveliest lady i have ever seen...
With whom i never felt any pain... no problem or worry seemed too big... my confidence, my inspiration... my success and my love...
I always felt so dependable when she kept her head on my shoulder.
Always reminded me... i have to take care of her... In her joy or sorrow... and how much more i needed her than she does...
While, i was lost in her day-dreams... the cab came to a halt and i realized we had already reached Bowling Green Park... amazing it was... so many people jogging so early.. Even saw a few love-birds like us sitting there hand in hand...
Wish i could too spend sometime there silently with her, but again... I had a lot to do and was running out of time...
From there, we caught the ferry to the Statue of Liberty... :)
What a sight it was... we were finally able to catch up the rising sun, as we sailed on the ferry... Splash of the water crashing on the front seemed like an orchestra while i was lost in her sun-drenched looks... she seemed a deity... deity of love... my goddess.
The ferry parked along the island and I went off to take the tickets. The Statue of Liberty... do i really have to say something about it ??... its a marvelous creation in its own-self... and here we were right in front of it...
After the trip to Statue, we went to Manhattan... the famous, Bryant Park for ice-skating...
Since morning, after every small surprise i felt her to be getting more and more excited and happy...
But, ice-skating was special... she just burst out and ran towards the counter to get her fav. colored skates...
Even though i am good skater... but, when ever i fell, she laughed and came to pick me up... so... i kept falling deliberately.... ;)
So many people were around us at that time, but still, i felt so lost in her... all i could see was sun shining on her face... hair flying with the breeze and the music of her voice... God... i was so in love with the moment....
By now, sun was almost at head... Time for lunch.. and now the biggest brawl comes... What cuisine today??... I like Indian... and she's more in Chinese...
Anyway, undoubtedly.. Chinatown was the next destination in the planner...
After the sumptuous meal (only for her)... we went for the stroll... kept going through the market in Chinatown... And, i was taken aback... that everything i ever saw, was sitting as replica at much much cheaper prices... be it electronics, home furniture or DVDs...
Anyhow, this was the right moment to buy her some gifts and specially at a very reasonable price ;)
so i took her to have some footwear and bought some chocolates... :)
And after all the roam... she said, "Hey m tired.. lets sit somewhere quiet...", and the moment i heard those words... my mind went to block... I had never planned that... Surprisingly, this was the first time ever i heard a woman she's tired roaming in market, shopping and sight-seeing.... :D
Or perhaps, she really wanted to spend some comfortable and alone time with me... and luckily i knew the exact spot for it...
Next Destination -- Botanical Garden....
I sat down with her under a tree... holding her hand... and all i noticed was... SHE WAS NEVER TIRED... she wanted me to rest for a while, because she knew i didn't sleep last night as i was busy watching her... and since morning i had been roaming here n there...
Taking the opportunity of which i kept my head in her lap.. and closed my eyes... Heaven it felt to me... I am sure, nothing in this world could have possibly met the peace-levels i was feeling....
Hmmmm.... it was almost sunset when we left the garden, and i knew what i was supposed to do... destination: Brooklyn Bridge...
"Wow...", she said as we felt the last few rays of setting sun... still holding hands and enjoying the warmth of one another... and soon, it was dark, cold and windy.... almost time we should step back home and enjoy a cozy night with each other....
So we stepped in metro, "Please stand clear of the closing doors... This is Far Rockaway bound A express train... ", I could never understand most of the conductor accent... but i guess she was born listening to it...
I had picked my favorite red wine on the way home.... and asked her.. to sit back and watch TV... but i knew she wouldn't, so i already had turned on the slow music and re-ran all the words in mind, i wanted to convey to her...
But to my surprise... she came... came closer... even closer... and kissed... didn't even let me say a word....
Anyhow, lets not discuss that... :P
So... I cooked... the Indian delicacy.... Shahi Paneer and Butter Naan... and we had it with wine.
It was almost time... the time i should rest for the day... but i never felt like letting her be parted of me any second... so we sat on the couch, next to fireplace to enjoy some cuddled time... meanwhile we watch TV...
But, I said to myself, "Whom am i really fooling... neither do I nor she is interested in this idiot box", specially after this fantastic day... Its time we should go to bed and probably be engaged in something else :)
So went and laid down cuddling each other..
AND...

CRASH..........
I jumped on my couch...... just realizing it was all just a dream... but still it felt so much real to me...
still i had the taste of her lips on mine... and yet i could smell her in my clothes...
Finally, i smiled to myself... and said, "Dude.. she's just 7,315 miles away.."
But i do believe... She's not away... as long as she lives in my heart....
Love you Darling....
