Seeing you . . .What it meant!
When life threw a brick at me, I stood there stunned not able to see.
My numbed senses echoed with cries, nightmares that tormented me.
I gazed into the past, trying to figure out where things had gone wrong,
And the sullied fate did mock me incessantly, to waver my faith still strong.
Sleep wouldn't come and the anguish left uncountable wounds on the soul
The night threatened to engulf me into its arms, darker than the darkest coal
And so I asked my heart, if I would ever see the light
or was I doomed to die a slow death in the sorrowful night
But its hope that resurrects and life laughs at the morose me
Says it, "Do you have the time to ponder, cos I'm nimble and I'll flee"
And I light a single candle, and decide to set my inhibitions free
The glow of warmth melts the frigid me, for I see your soulful eyes smiling back at me…
They saw each other after 7 months, the same place where they had lunch together for the first time, the same place where he felt she was different, where he felt she cares, where he met her guardians, where things materialized for them. The place where they sneak out for lunches during office hours… so many times…. “Drive Inn”
They sat OPPOSITE to each other, they didn’t smile, they didn’t laugh, they didn’t fight… They couldn’t feel hands clasped into each other, blood stream flowing though them, the heart beat, the breathe, they couldn’t feel the shoulders brushing each other and always ready to give rest, they couldn’t find the music in air.
She couldn’t even sip once from the coffee mug, he couldn’t even see her face enough, eyes hardly met each other, of whatever he saw they were the same, the same which made him fall in love with her, the same where he saw his world, their world, their OWN world, the naughtiness, the joy, the pain, the belief, the escapes, the blinks.
She had decided, she knew it, she got up and turned back and left within 5 minutes. There was no “Bye Gunnu, miss you, love you”, they had lost it long ago, they can’t recollect the time and place, when and where…
There was this weird silence, as she left… she didn’t turn back… He was looking at her footsteps as she rushed out… He felt, he was dreaming… She had not come… this was just another dream, the coffee had gone cold, the table was freezing, the moment was racing, with every second they were going miles away, her each step was a light year…
He couldn’t stop her, he couldn’t make her understand… Life has taxed them again!!!
They felt as if they were strangers, the garland had vanished, the faith had vanished, the future had vanished, the belongingness had vanished, the oath had broken, the entrustment had gone.
They looked mature; they looked grown up; they have accepted life’s decision for them!!!
