You try to fill the empty neighborhood by bringing in some rain while I try to fill my empty heart with writings of my pen. We are both on our individual journeys, June.

Dear self,
"...If I haven't said it enough, I will
always love you to the moon and back
and again to the moon. These things
are just to keep you happier. I'd love to
fall for that cheeky smile more often.
Also, where's the burger I asked you to
get so we could share it?"
Love, always at first sight in the mirror,
Aarushi-
Dear self,
"...Now I know, that like every mortal
being, you're not flawless. But I do not
care. I still love you, because you weave
stories so beautiful that I cry while
writing them. And even though you're
too shy to show it to the world, I love
the paintings you make..."
Love, still at first sight in the mirror,
Aarushi-
Dear self,
"...I'm probably too shy to say it as it is,
so here it is... You're the only person I'd
share half of my burger with..."
Love, at first sight in the mirror,
Aarushi-
I'd write it to the kid I never had. I'll tell them that I didn't wish for a kid partly out of choice, partly out of fear. I don't want them to come to life in today's world, where I do not feel safe, how could they be, where I do not trust my elders whom I grew up with because all of sudden they have become epitome of hatred, where I do not trust our leaders because instead of uniting everyone despite the differences they are finding differences where there has been unity, where positive words such as intellectual, secular and bhakts have become swear words, where growing up is full of risks. I now understand why they say unsafe sex is risky. It's not the fear of having a child, but the fear of bringing them to this sick world.

I don't believe in distances anymore.
Someone so far can make you
feel more at home than
someone so close to you.-
