Silence

There are times I feel alone. When I can hear my own breath and the thump of my touch on the wood. It is beautiful. The moment when everything is so important, so distinct.

I write in the air to listen to the echo. For then, I hear not myself, but your thoughts.

Phases

Like dominoes, they topple

From one onto the next.. and it goes on...

The eye never lingers at the fallen.

What when the final one hits nothingness ?? Where do you look then ??

" So what do you think ? "

" I don't know. I'm not sure. "

" Why ? Are you done ? "

" No. I'm not, but I'm trying to get out of it. "

" When things seem bright, what is the problem ? "

" Maybe they are just bright to me. What if she is on the other side of the light ? "

" She will see you anyway. "

" What if I ruin it ? What then ? "

" Nothing. You walk away. "

" I don't want to. This seems right. "

Victory

is sweet.

:D :D :D :D

Prologue

Jane is beautiful. And in the rain, she is dancing. The thunder scares her, but she has nothing to worry about till she sees him, leaning against the wall, smiling at her. Jane is loved.

All Grown-up

Back from a movie. Its 1:30 a.m. Mom is dead tired.

" Mummy, omelette bana do ! " :P

" Oh bhook lag rahi hai ?? Saath mein doodh peena hai ? "

" :O main toh bas tang kar raha tha"

Listen

She ran far away into the woods

" I've lost him. Yes, I've lost him "

The thicket brushed her bare-arms and the dry leaves crackled beneath her toes, but she went on, she couldn't stop. What if he caught her ?

" No. Please don't come near me. "

" But why ? Am I hideous ? "

" No. Its not you. Its me. Im scared. What if - ? "

" What ? "

" Umm..I don't know. I just can't do it. "

" Will you never ? "
" I might not. "

" Don't you like me ? "

" I love you. "

" Then why don't you just be with me ? "

" I don't know the reason. I feel exposed. "

" So what ? Everyone does so the first time. Does this mean nothing to you ? "

" It does. It so does. I will think about this all the time. I know I will curse myself, for being Me. "

" You don't have to. You are the prettiest thing in the world to me "

" Just pretty ? "

" Pretty and much more. You understand me. I want to be with you. Spend more time with you. Hear you out. You know I love to hear whatever you have to say. "

" So do I ! So do I ! "

" Then what is stopping you ? "

" Me "

" What if I turned away right now ? How would that make you feel ? "

" I'd hate myself even more. Loathe actually. I know I would want to but won't stop you. Im scared. "

" Do you want me ? "

" Yes. Yes, I really do. I love being with you. "

" What if I hadn't told you ? Would you have told me ? "

" No. I never could. "

" Even when you know I like you ? "

" Yes. Im too scared. Too insecure. Please, I'm sorry. I hate myself. "

" You don't have to ! You are perfect. You just needed the right person to come along and tell you"

" But if he is the right person, why am I so scared ? "

" So is he. He just doesn't tell you. "
