IN OUR HEAD :-

I sweep you off of your feet and you steal the words out my mouth.

I watch you cry when no one's looking and you watch me pray alone.

I see you lurking around in the dark , like a firefly and you watch my own shadow leave me.

I see tears in your eyes and you see the anguish in my words.

I want you to sing me to sleep and you want to wake up in my arms.

I get wasted till I can't walk no more and you get drunk till you pass out.

I crave for your touch when you leave my hand even for a second and you long for my breath on yours when I'm miles away.

I watch you control my reckless self and I get you through your emotional mess.

I watch you drown your sorrows in that beautiful smile and you watch me ignore my woes when I see your face.

I see how far we've come and you see how much we have grown.

And yet I don't know you now , like you don't know me either.

Cause perfect never existed for us so we built it in our heads.

I know I lie so well and so do you.

I hope you are left with a smile when you finish reading this :-

You know how the light we get from stars is years old cause the stars are far away from us. Like if a star is one light year away then the light that we get would be year old.

Not that interesting right?

So let's see it this way. If I'm seeing myself from a star that is say 15 light years away, then in the light of that star I'm 3 years old.

Probably under the light I'm crawling to get to the window so the I can see the world outside for the first time

Probably under the light of some star my father just brought me my first cricket bat or dropped me to the school for the first time.

Probably under the light of some star. I am building my first Lego house with my mom and I am too excited to show it to dad when he comes home.

Probably under the light of some other star I'm meeting the strangers for the first time who will become my closest friends

Probably in the light of some star I'm dancing with all my friends on holi Or singing in the classroom like we used to.

Probably in the light of some star I am learning what it means to be there for someone. What it means to appreciate the little things we get.

In the same way you too, under the light of some other star are living your happiest moments for the time.

And I want you to smile when you think of it.

Regards

RKP

To write is to bleed.

The words don't seem to capture the sunset as they did when I saw sun setting earlier.

The words don't seem to linger around around in the air, slowly fading, echoing like they did before. Rather they disappear the moment your lips part to let them come out.

The words don't quite seem to capture the freshness of the wind or the rage of a thunderstorm.

The words,if it's possible, are meaningful and yet meaningless at the same time.

The words seem to have lost their strength somehow. As if they're coming from a place too distant to reach.

The words can't quite explain how I love seeing in all its beauty and yet I don't want the sun to set.

The words seem like lines a two year old child would scribble with a crayon on a blank sheet.

The words don't compel me to imagine to imagine anymore. To write is not about "to create" anymore.

The words have become my vice. To write is to bleed.
