Lets Still Be

I preferred the serene silence that had engrossed us; the silence that moved from you to

me and vice versa,maybe, but hey, I can listen to something: your little whispers into my

ears, every morn, my replies that would leave you unearthed and abashed mostly, the

sweet-little-nothings that you would quipp in each time succeding to lift me up from

meloncholy to your peppy world of light-hearted mistakes, the biggest being me. I know

this moment would never return. Oblivious to everything we stood numb, just feeling

each others aura. The longest pause in my life, I could say, save those mornings where

the folds of my bed sheets could not find you, those noons where my cell forgot to

rejoice to and fro with your name ringing each time, the evenings where the sun was

naughty enough not to spend some more time with me, the night when my bolsters

would be happy to find no replacement; and those sleepless nights but with dreams

meant to be shattered the next morning. Silly me, oh! think I fancied hearing heart beats;

are they really mine or your, still finding means to beat inside the dark shell I created,

with those empty folds, blank calls and sleeping pills that were never meant for its

namesake.

The disillutions perished as the lift struck its well versed tune with only two passengers

in it.

"Excuse me! I think, I've come a wrong way. I have to leave."
