Nothing to say to you

I write and I erase. There used to be a time I used to think we were poetry and its words would just weave themselves into the manifesto of our love. As we parted, it transitioned into a ballad of my aching heart and now as it has finally sunk in, I know we were nothing but two bored souls not even in mutual attraction trying to force each other to give in to the personal whims, it was a tale of misery.

And so I try to forget that miserable tale, to forget ever meeting you and having to experience the burst of dopamine for the first time, to ever feeling your warm touch on my cold skin as I would melt into those arms, to forget ever gazing into those lying eyes and thinking how beautiful they were, to have ever kissed those manipulating selfish lips while I would forget the world around. I struggle every day, coming to terms with just how naïve and desperate I was and how blatant and seasoned you were.

But I try still, as I find purpose of different kind, as I immerse myself in pursuit of some other passion, until -  you swoop in , with your wile words talking back about that wretched past and lo, the walls shatter once again. I used to think of you as a person with compassion, used to blame myself for my misery after parting, I thought maybe you didn't know how much I loved you then, and you're completely unaware of how much it hurts me now. To my utter regret, I embarrass myself some more as I confess the lingering feelings, the one-sided attraction, hoping that you'd realize how hurtful your one text could be. But of course, you claim my confession as a trophy, unabashedly poking at it again and again keeping the wound still fresh.

You texted again yesterday. But I will not fan this anymore. This time I have nothing to say to you

Give UP?!

I still go to sleep to my teenage fantasies, still listen to my 10th grade playlist, still quote the stupid shows I watched ages back, still have the same dreams I had in my childhood. I am holding everything great in my life close to my heart and not letting go.  I am not growing up, I am growing old!! My mind is believing that I have lived the wonder years of my life and nothing good can come next, my ideas, thoughts are redundant. I have given up on living, that daal chawal for 50 saal till you die, that's my life right now. Monotonous, and me not willing to change it coz I am the grumpy grammy missing her exciting phase of life (btw it never came). So yeah, let's give up on those dreams, on those fantasies, those playlists, so that I won't give up on life, excitement and possibilities. Moving on.

The yes phase!

 Isn't it perfect? - you and I, having so much in common. You like me, I could tell. I like you too, don't want you to feel otherwise. But this mutual approval of each other is short lived, it's my 'Yes Phase' and you sir are enjoying the front row tickets right now. For 3 weeks, I'd say yes to almost anything you ask of me, want coffee? yes! wanna sleep in my bed - you betcha! wanna use my comb? - consider it yours! You'd think I like you, sometimes you'd also reciprocate. I'd be optimistic about your existence, would try to fit you in my life and all future plans. And just when you'd be in perfect comfort of my company, it would happen. Like a sudden wave, it'd hit your peace (and mine). I'd begin to resent you - because I realize I can't say yes all the time. I take notice of your whims and flaws. I would say no to your most basic requests, I'd distance myself from you and sometimes would be abruptly silent in your presence.  N...
