the lost footprints

Dedicated to swathi on her first birthday after the start of a new life. Wish you all the smiles in the world.

I made my path through the sands to the wet shore of Chennai...
Looking at the angry waters in the moonlit night made me gush to the memories , 2 years back 

We were walking along the rough sands on the beach at half past 7 in the night..
I and shravya were walking in the shadow of one another gripping each other hands,
She rested her head on my shoulder with her eyes closed .
her soft curly hair often danced on my face with the tune of the wind,
i lost in her calm peaceful face as she kept holding my right arm tight with her two arms and simply walking with me.....
neither of us know where we were going,i was just enjoying that magical moment with her. At that moment what mattered me was just her and only her..
the shimmering tiny droplets of water over her cheek due to the moonlight only made her look more angelic...
i just looked back, as we made our footprints which were being preciously washed away to the memories of the sea.

There was nothing much of a difference between now and then..except the four footprints have become two..
Her footprints lost hidden in the sands and her chirpy words carried away by the winds....
