A kind word and a compliment
A laugh at the inane joke and banter
The light awkwardness
A question showing interest
A subtle term of endearment
The light-hearted messages
A second conversation within this all
A second unsaid conversation
An incomplete conversation
Things go on well without a fear
Until the unsaid remains unsaid…

It was like picking up from where they left off…
Everytime he tried to tell her what she meant to him..
And everytime she logically proved why it wouldn’t work
And everytime he would tell himself….
Somethings are not meant to be…
Yet he was at this point every single time…
Thinking ‘Que Sera Sera‘!!!

And yet he watched her walk away from it all..
Knowing well that she would return to roost..
There was nowhere else that she could go…
Yet she walked hoping he would call him..
She walked and he let her…
She had walked too far this time…
Life wasn’t always a drama with happy endings!!

She wanted so badly to work it out. Tell him it had all been a mistake. It was eight months since they had last gone their ways.

But then the words didn’t come out at all.
So she just stayed still in his arms. It felt forever.

His eyes went to the clock.

Dreams of the early morning always come to life….

He wanted it to happen so badly
So he started sleeping early…
So that he could dream about it

The dreams didn’t come and he felt as tired as ever

He kept on dreaming about dreaming
But then insomnia was not an easy one to cure..

They told me
I had an art in me
The art of entertaining
I started believing
That I was an entertainer
I loved the arc lights
Then I realized that
The face paint does not come off easily
I was my character
Was it time to switch off?
Was it time for a new act?

I was quickly moving to my gate for take-off at break-neck speed on the speed ramp. I was the lone one and the world was stationary.

Then I woke up.

I was on the speed ramp standing still and now the world was walking past me. The gate seems so distant now.

I didn’t care.

Inspired from Shreyasi’s ‘Slowness’

He: Ok! Let’s do it then
She: What? Don’t patronize me
He: You wanted me to do it
She: Yes. But I want you to want it
He: Why would I want to do it?
She: No point talking to you

Later,
He: Actually, I think it’s a great idea
She: I don’t care anymore

Hmm, an interesting looking man alone in the elevator. This should be fun, she thought.

I like his eyes on me when I am looking away.
The eyes meet again. Oh, the fun of muted, stolen looks!!

‘Could you please lead me to the reception?’he asks
The eyes had hidden behind the blind man’s glasses

Why don’t you just speak out your mind?

Dont think it will work anyway…. Then why screw the whole thing up?

How do you know without even doing it?

You just know. It hurts to be hurting.

So where do you think you are now?
Have you heard of the term self-fulfiling prophecy?
