How does it feel when you want to scream and bring the roof down but feel too tired to do so?? How do you feel when you stand near an open window but the wind forgets to whisper secrets you want to know?? How do you feel when the sound of a steel spoon hitting the sides of a glass tumbler makes you remember mom and lemonade while you are away from home?? How do you feel when your mirror image seems so distant but the silence of missed heartbeats still appear reach ably close??? I miss those times when off-shoulders and oily biriyanis seemed less sinful. I miss those times when my stomach needed just laughter and mornings were lived without wake up alarms. I miss those times when bathrooms were meant for just silent cries and not bloody dates every month. I miss those days when I can lay on my back and picture you being near, the taste of mint flavored gum still on the tongue. I miss those days when cigarette smoke and love is tickled with the same fingertips. I miss the evenings when hugged skin smilingly smells of leftovers of love, aftershave and men’s deo. I miss sleepy nights. Chocolate wrappers. Watery coffees in paper cups. White ribbons on adolescent ponytails. Candy coloured lip balms. Imagined dimples on smart cheeks. Miss fairy tale togetherness. Red envelopes with violet letters. And the boyfriend with his spects always in the way.(blush blush)
