I Saw You

To the girls on the beach, I saw the two of you today, laughing and joking with the other girls. But there was a hint of nervousness about you. While your lips were curled into smiles, your twitching eyebrows had another story to tell. I saw the casual glance you two exchanged. I was there…

Say Y-Hello-W To Happiness

There was yellow in the air, yellow on the face and yellow on the robes. Our lips curling into a smile as our hearts began to beat together in unison. That was the day of our wedding… Just hours before we tied the knot, we sat together under a shower of yellow flowers. For the…

On The Bridge

I saw a young couple taking pictures on the bridge today. This wasn’t the first time I saw a couple smiling their widest for the camera in this beautiful backdrop. But something about them got me thinking. I don’t know their names or where they came from. But the girl’s white dress and the man’s…

A Head Of Red

To the girl with red hair, I saw you today zipping away in your silver sedan. It isn’t every day that I notice girls passing me on the freeway. But today was different, you were different. My eyes were fixed on you as you rolled down your window and popped your head out. I saw…

A Single Matchstick

One matchstick is all it takes to light up a pyre. Yes it is a pyre that we are igniting today. But “Who died?” is the question on our lips. It is a pyre lighted to bid farewell to a love long dead. This pyre will burn all the memories we ever lived. A bunch…

The Happy Me

Do you know when I felt the happiest? It was a few moments before I said “I do” to you. Those last moments of blissful unawareness…The time I didn’t know what was awaiting me. The time when I was dreaming of a life full of love. The time I lived a few years ago…Those moments…

It has been so long since we met. 2 years 5 months and 6 days. I miss how you hugged me tight from behind every time I came to meet you. I miss your warm skin against mine. I miss your voice dissolving in my ears and your scent in my breath. But I don’t…
