Can it be true?
Today at a
break of the dawn you came knocking at the door. You were there - drenched,
anxious and beautiful as always. You hugged me and said something that I now
have completely forgotten. All I remember is that you were making a pool of my
door mat. Your kohl lined eyes were smudgy and were carrying a promise of
togetherness. You came in, walked to my wardrobe and came out wearing my favorite blue shirt. I see you still remember all about this house. You see I
too remember things about you and hence I put a pot of water to boil and made a
cup full of black filtered coffee. I had thought that one day when we meet
again I will be angry at you and hurt you with my sharpest words. But now all I
want is to hold your hand and spend a day like that - for you to drink your
bitter coffee and me to have the warmth of your hands in mine. Alas, dreams like
all things good come to an end. But I don't know why there is a used coffee mug
on the table and why is the kettle still warm.
Were you really here?
Were you really here?
Splendid!
