All i needed.A Story by Farhan ShaikhAll I needed was your attention, to hold your hand and walk through the college door. I wanted your love but you gave it to a man luckier than I. All I wanted was to look in your eyes and move closer to you, like you did yesterday with him. But all I got was your smile. I needed you to come towards me. Did you ever hear my heartbeat ? It always races when I see you. It was lovely to hear your voice, but terribly hard when you spoke to him. You didn't even wish me a goodbye. All I needed were your words. I wanted your voice all to myself. He may never love you the way I do. When I passed through by your window yesterday, all I wanted was for you to look out and wave at me. All I needed was to be with you and make you my wife. I wanted to keep you in my arms until the end of time. I wanted you to stay away from him. I tried to attract you towards me, but I was acting like someone I'm not. Every night killed me. I could not wait until morning to see you again in the hope that someday your footsteps would lead you to me rather than to him. All I needed is that look of yours. That smile could've made my day. You gave these to him. Maybe he loved you, but no one could love you as much as I did. My friends told me to forget you, but moving on would be an insult to our love. I wanted you and I to become us, but you never gave the chance. All I needed was for you to be with me, and the day I heard you fighting with him, my jealousy turned to happiness. The other day, I smiled at you and you smiled back. All I need is you to come to me. I saw your feet taking you towards me, and since then I haven't let you go. © 2017 Farhan ShaikhReviews
