My letter to you will have all of my favourite paradoxes & metaphors listed serially, from my most favourite ones to least but 'you & I' will sit both at the top & bottom.

Treading a pensive solitary even in a crowded room with faces familiar & not.
Engulfed by this beautiful yet amorphous vemod, this chimera running through my veins, this caffeine intoxicating my bloodstream & the petrichor numbing my olfactory senses, I often sit listening to old records & rummaging through polaroid photographs of bygone memories.

I'll tell you I've started dwelling
in a place between
the storm & serenity.
A place resembling
the eye of a hurricane.

Literature has never been my forte. I wonder if I could ever be a virtuoso. Of words, at least. But they have always failed me, manifested themselves into silence & escaped my mouth whenever I tried to say it out loud. So ink & paper was my last resort.

Reflections change.
Shadows don't.

Even today after a few swigs
of the bitter expensive drink,
i can feel the taste of your lips
linger on mine.
Now to deceive myself
I just blame the alcohol.
But still hope you'ld walk
in through the door
I've kept unlocked on purpose.

And you've become a busy person.
And me?
Just a distorted memory.

I've never been good with & good at goodbyes. I am cursed with the weakest of tear ducts but that day when you left in the dark silence of the night I didn't feel a thing.
I watched you as you packed your clothes into the red suitcase. My gaze followed you as you slipped through the door. On my face was plastered a smile. My eyes didn't well up neither did my heart break at the sight of you leaving. I sat frozen on the old divan, smiling.
But as you came back, my smile widened. Then I realised that you had forgotten the car keys. You always seem to forget the car keys. And then you stripped your ring finger off the ring. Then, only then, I gasped, fighting my tears.
10 years, and today you're finally leaving. Leaving nothing behind, not even the withered garland that hung around my portrait, and into the red suitcase.
