A page from my Diary- 5th of August

figments of my memories

Give me back my 5th of August, that is what comes to my mind when I run my eyes through our pictures.

 

I kept the album shelved for quite some time, may be I was too weak to face the fact we are not together.

I like to imagine your fingers entangled in mine, walking through that pavement beside the sacred river.

I wonder how you smell right now, is it Jovan Musk or Park Avenue you are wearing tonight?

I try to picture you sitting right next to me in that black t-shirt & off-white chinos, comfortable as you are.

I close my eyes lay back and listen to the wonderfully melodious tracks you sing for me,

Is it "Comfortably Numb" or "Desperado" I should listen to? All of them, just mesmerizing!

I suddenly open my eyes as if your skin touched mine, but I come to myself when you are not there.

I lend my ears back to your voice and let my mind drift back to us, the feeling I can't express in words.

 

I miss the elevator of Quest Mall, not for its spacious structure, but for laying my eyes on you the first time,

The person who made me fall in love with him all over again

I miss Arsalan, not for its famous biriyani, for the person sitting next to me and devouring his food.

Those occasional stares and grins made butterflies fly in my stomach, inspite of being full.

I miss the columns of Princep Ghat, not for the cool breeze that touched my face,

But for the person who spend an evening making me feel not wanting to go back home.

I miss corner seats of Inox, not for the luxurious way to watch my favorite movie, 

But for the person who kept looking at me instead of the screen for entire two hours.

I miss the cab ride over Howrah Bridge, not becuase of the view or the traffic

But for the first kiss we shared with shivering bodies and hesitant minds of parting from each other.

I miss Kolkata, not because I have spent six precious years of my life there,

But for that one day you and I spent wrapped up in each other's memory.

 

Give me back my 5th of August, I want to relive it all over again.

Take me back where I'll be with you again, help me get rid of this pain.

"I wonder how you smell right now, is it Jovan Musk or Park Avenue you are wearing tonight?" - right here - the nose secrets its smells- in a stash like no other part of the brain and can re-conjure them when we least want it to.
This is so heartbreaking in its longing F.E.
It really resonated with me.
Thank you for sharing this with us.

I read these words and I was there. It was an experience.
The transition of the scenes was what captured my attention
as I watched the different worlds materialize and fade away
right in front of me.
