At this point, all I need is someone who’ll listen; no judgment, no advice, just ears for my endless rant. Because my patience has reached its edge and my heart needs to spill.

A: "Oh? And why is that?"

B: "They're planning to build a shopping mall right there."

A: "Seriously? Blocking this entire vista?"

B: "Yep. Progress, they call it."

A: "Progress for whom? That's a travesty."

B: "Tell me about it. Enjoy it while it lasts, I guess."

-

A: "Why is that so?"

B: "You in the view is what is beauty in my eyes."

A: "Sorry but I beg to differ."

-

"How?".
"Because you are in a dream now".
"No, see I am not in sleep".
(Suddenly a broken sound from the cot)
"Yes, I am in a dream".

-

A : "I know! And that's fine."

(After a short pause...)

A : " Don't you think everything is? Be this moment or any other. Maybe take life itself? "

(They smiled at each other and the silence stayed while they enjoyed the view.)

-

A : It‘s a blessing to know that for the next moment is uncertain whatsoever. I am delighted to cherish my every breath with the no thought of tomorrow .

-

A: "What a beautiful view!"

B: "I’m sorry to burst your bubble, but your joy might be short-lived."

No it's a feeble knock. Listen carefully. Hmm now there's something scratching. I try to peep it's a wounded dog , he's bleeding. Maybe some vehicle has crushed his paw. Bring some milk . We can bandage his paw . He eagerly sipped the warm milk . Wagging his tiny tail. He was soaked with water as it was raining. I rubbed him gently with a towel. Due to blood loss he was exhausted, we let him in the gate and he soon dozed off in the porch. I felt a little relieved.

-

"What's that you are hiding?"

"Something you can't deal with."

She: Do you miss me???

He: I don’t know…
But I miss the old me.
The one who smiled without a reason,
not to convince the world he was fine.

She: Are you saying I broke that part of you?

He: I’m saying…
somewhere between holding on and letting go,
I forgot how it felt to be me.
