The night arrives and loneliness becomes bane,
Her picture on the screen and eyes about to rain.

-

His every ‘You know what’
Gets her to listen for hours.

He finishes, ‘Here my story is’
And she goes, ‘Maybe it’s ours’

-

All of a sudden they met once again,
Once again one tried to talk to the other.
None had the courage to break the ice,
One kept waiting for start from the other.

-

His wait never ended,
Neither did her ego.
Both revisited moments,
Spent together long ago.

-

he winked, she blinked
and both lied.
to escape suffocation,
they just died.

-

So, they’ve got to wait again,
Scream again, be dead again.

Plans gone, gone all cravings,
And their cheeks wet again.

-

Once again strangers,
That too without any fight.
Again they need messengers,
Only to enhance appetite.

-

She kept on telling lies,
He kept on reading her eyes.
Both showed utter hostility,
Letting love blossom in disguise.

-

He continued to write for her,
Hoping that she’ll give reviews.
Whenever he sent some pieces,
She replied, ‘Added to the queue.’

-

His last evening in the town,
She decided not to show up.
He too seemed a bit feverish,
Hence decided not to blow up.
