Rohit- the guy I knew, The guy I know

Transforming or changing is Human. Humans change, they mature with time and experiences. Similarly, relations change, because humans change. Relations mature not with time, but with the time spent. Similarly, Rohit and were complete strangers for each other. I was scared of him in school, and completely misunderstood him. Now its almost been three years that I know him. In these three years, I have realised that the time we spent together as friends was the best that could ever be. We've moved on, we're into a relationship, but the foundation was Friendship, and will always be Friendship. To still maintain that level is difficult for many. It was difficult for me as well. But to share what I felt was a quality I learnt from this guy. Though I always thought, "why is it that he never told me anything? ". He would patiently listen to whatever I said, irrelevance or relevance hardly mattered. There are very few things that he doesn't know about me, that's because it's been a habit for me to reveal all my joys and sorrows to him. There hasn't been a day lately that I haven't told him about my feelings. And maybe that's one reason why I realised what he meant when he never said anything. One fine day, just chatting happily, all of a sudden I said those three magical words which were in my heart, but were realised very late by me. A few months later, when we made it official, friends said we'd known this would happen. But I still tell people who call us a couple , that we're BESTEST FRIENDS first.
I think if I can still tell people that, it means that we're really best friends. No matter how many call us a couple, for me its always going to be the guy whom I was scared in school, and who now is not a boyfriend, is a companion and is a complete defender.
After, all this three years of the time I've spent with you, all I wanted to say was Thank You to Rohit. You're one person on this planet who knows me exactly. And you're the only person whom I know is going to be there forever! :) Thanks, for being the Sunshine, in my cold life and thanks for being my umbrella in the rains.
