I wish you were here:
I stretch my arms to touch the pillow, which lies near
me, lifeless just like the night when I gaze the ceiling, the fan slowly
rotating on its axis and creating a magnificent effect of dim light, which is peeping
through the window on the left of my bed. Tears running down my eyes, my cheeks
are wet and so is my pillow. Dreams have dried up; just the pain still trying
to stitch the wounds residing in my heart, solitude has engulfed me and the
night being its perfect partner.
I remember, your lips touching mine and you whispering in my
ear to sleep, knowing that we won’t sleep. While I caress your bare back, I
hear you moan slightly and could sense heavy breathing on my neck as your hands
tried to explore my hair. We were wrapped in a white sheet, just to hide ourselves
from ourselves, wishing the night would never end. You would slowly drift to my
right, still kissing me over my neck, and telling me things will turn out
better. I would gaze in your lovely eyes, searching for the answers to the
questions I never asked. A timid smile would come on your wet lips; a little
shyness could be sensed.
Now it’s all gone, it’s your essence which teases me. The
voice you used to make when we made love, the smile that used to come on your
lips in the morning, the whispering in my ear wishing me good morning, the
complains you used to lodge about my beard, the naughtiness I used to shower in
the name of massage and you always used to twitch a little bit due to the
tingly effect of my fingers. The manner in which you used to calm down my
thoughts, the manner in which you used to make me understand the things which I
never understood, the manner in which you used to lie on me; holding my legs
tight between yours, the manner in which you used to kiss away my tears. I
still remember everything, every moment.
Now you are gone, twinkling in the stars guiding me through
the roads I am scared to take. I just wish you were here...I just wish you were
here...
