Short Story

I look at her.
No expression. Her eyes seem dead.

The leather coat is still in my hand.
We both have nothing to say.

I miss her. I really do miss her.
But now, it feels like she's hundred miles away from me.
When she's just right in front of me.

It feels like,
We are close. As strangers.

Six months I'd been away, to know everything has changed.
That hurts. A little bit too much.
Feels like I am all smouldering.

Just like the feelings between us, in her.
Burning slowly, but there ain't no flame.

"I think you should say welcome home to me,?"

I try to break the silence, which we never had before.

She smiles. A smile I had never seen before.
Stands up, her eyes are locked into mine.
But they are all different than before.

"Everything has changed," she said.

"Six weeks since I've been away
And now you're sayin' everything has changed
And I'm afraid that I might be losing you"

 Now I am all afraid.

"And every night that we spend alone
It kills me thinking of you on your own
And I wish I was back home next to you"
Yeah. I wished I was next to you. 

"Late night calls and another text
Is this as good as we're gonna get?"
I know I had been busy,
I could only call you when the midnight air was drawing in, slowly. 

"While you and I are running out of time
But you know that I'll always wait for you"

I will, forever and always wait for you.

Tears start to fill my eyes.
A huge wave of sadness hits me hard.

"I feel like we're as close as strangers
Won't give up
Even though it hurts so much"

But I won't give up.
No matter how hurt it is, I won't.

"On the phone
I can tell that you wanna move on
Through the tears
I can hear that I shouldn't have gone"

I called you one night.
You were sobbing, all alone in your room.
You told me there was someone else.

It struck my heart like anything else had done.

Yeah,

Your dead eyes when meeting mine,
Your breathless smile and stare,
Your cold hands,
Your everything.

Now I see, everything has totally changed.

"Six months since I went away
And I know everything has changed
But tomorrow I'll be coming back to you"

 "Please, leave," 

 I look at her.
Grab my backpack,
Put on that leather coat she gave me,
Ready to leave. 

But I will come back for sure,
To you Delilah.

Assalamualaikum You're the simpler version of creamy carbonara I've been craving for. Could never get tired of its expensive taste. And I can always find it any time at the back of my minimalist kitchen. The space for you, my spiced creamy carbonara, will always be there. Because I want it to.  You're the random people on the street.  In the crowds of beings on the land and in the sea. You stand and blend in, just like me.  But you got your own place in my heart. It sits in every beat, it rushed every single drop of adrenaline I sometimes subconsciously give in to,  From the first second I knew it's too late for me to run. You're the ordinary type of chocojar. But my all-time favourite callebaut. You're the usual face of peach strudles in the fridge, But forever my Kenny Hills' beautiful peach strudles I've been longing for. You're no actors or singers,  But you're the ultimate masterpiece in my eyes.  You got me running in a circle but now it

"Slut!"

 Assalamualaikum You're deserving of beautiful songs with sweet melodies, Scenting with roses and bits of peonies, Sweet and citrusy, Just like your favourite drink. In my other dream in another night, I felt suffocated as I missed your natural scent so much. And how much I regretted taking another path, Which no longer lead me to you.  I woke up feeling scared and at ease, As you were laying down next to me, Sleeping soundly and still dashingly looking.  You're a blessing sent by Him. And your whole being is everything I need.  And I want no other.  For all the late nights and early mornings, I could never thank you enough.  And no apology could ever make up for everything. You take me as I am. You see all the shameless flaws I'm owning up and never leave.  You make me feel loved, so much, despite my hideous sides I once scared to show.  You pamper me so much till I forgot how human you are, And how much you mean to me. Now I'm telling you I still like you a little bit

Say Don't Go

 Assalamualaikum Taking people for granted sometimes is meant with intentions. They can be pure, and sometimes regarded as remedial purity.  What about you, then? Fathoming love, I always thought was an easy thing to do. All my teenage years spent looking for one,  Blushed and flushed, both love and mad, I always thought my ribs were familiar with the word love and the meaning it brought by. But each night before bed, I wondered what it means to love and be loved? Then the topic of love languages came through. We all have different languages to express our love. What about you, then? What about you?
