Adi & Aru! You have made us all proud.

Long Lost Soul

I am holding up, not so strongly but still, I am holding up to fight a sudden bout of painful illness, to save myself from crushing under this tornado. It’s like standing on the edge of the cliff against a strong wind blowing to make me fall. It’s not love, it’s not lust, it’s not infatuation.

It’s like peeking into someone’s soul, unraveling it bit by bit and realizing with each revelation how much I adore it. The deep dungeons of mind and heart and beyond. How much I care for it. But still. It’s also realizing the pain I feel for that troubled soul and the pity I feel for mine. I know the souls cannot be saved, both his and mine.

I do random things to fill up time and space. Measure 90 ml of water, go for a standup comedy show, apply for a new credit card, buy things I will never use, make pointless presentations and meet uninteresting strangers.

I cry, not out of sorrow or helplessness.  I cry to stray, to stand at the edge of the cliff for some more time before I walk away. 

Sunday Not So Sonnet

Did I ever tell you you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be.
Oh, and I, I could fly higher than an eagle,
For you were the wind beneath my wings,
'cause you are and will always be the wind beneath my wings.

The Opal Moment

~Weekend Song on Repeat~

Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home

Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast
