I Want To Be With You

At the core of my heart,

I wish we were no longer apart,

And I gaze out of the window,

To lookup at the moon smiles,

My mind longs for you every night and then,

Fall on despair when you fade out of my sight,

The rhythms of your silence are endless,

That muffled me with the tune,

Is this a game you play with compassion?

Till I see you next in actual,

The more I sense you everywhere,

I feel lost without being able to tell,

Though it hurts to believe you are not near,

Always I want to be there where you are!

Love Once More

Her mobile’s ringtone interrupts her thoughts. Unwillingly she took her mobile and looked the number flashing in the screen. The number was so familiar to her. Immediately she attended the call and remained silent.

The hello from the opposite side echoed in her mind. She was so nervous to say a hello even. Because after a year she is hearing the same voice she used to hear everyday is now once again back in her life.

He asked her why is she so silent?

She replied him a hello and tried to be normal. He said her that he’d like to introduce the girl he loves. She controlled her heart cries and said yes to him. He asked her to come online at once and hangs the call.

She don’t wish to see him with other girl even its online. She opened her id and saw a new notification she received. She clicked it to view it. It informed that she was tagged to a post in his timeline. She is clueless. She clicked it to go to the post in which she is tagged.

“My long wait has came to an end. And baby only you can make me fall in love again and again. My heart is connected with you. My love & hope brought you back in my life.

Love You Once More”

She is speechless and now this time it’s because of love & happiness in her heart.

P.S: This story is continuation of “No Love No Worries”

Because I Am Stupid

I never imagine or seen in my dreams,

How very soon it happens,

Before I could figure out,

How it will be to be snubbed,

Though I try hard to hold on.

The bond we share to be alive,

They never have the same fire as I do,

For it to keep going as it meant to be.

Like seasons that alter time to time,

From one to another, too often they change,

The tenderness in their voice,

Now is too sharp to soothe anymore,

I stood far to find them struggle,

Hard to fit into their brand new kinship,

Because I’m stupid for them the way I care much,

Finally to realize the newer versions of them.

No Love No Worries

After a long time, she got a chance to chat online with one of her best friend. The conversation started with formal blah, blah and blahs. But time has changed their friendship in some other way. They chat like they were still best friends, deep inside they lost the feel of friendship as before.

She asked about his life. He excitedly said he is in love again. She wished him luck and said she is happy for him and wiped her tears which flow automatically.

She remembers the day when he proposed her before a year in chat. They never met in person. She was so confused. She experienced heart break already. She doesn’t want to get hurt again in the name of love. She had a strong belief in “True love happens only once in life“. There were so many questions running in her mind. She gently rejected his proposal after much thinking.

She was not ready to accept the fact she is in love too. Slowly she stopped chatting and left him to forget the memories about him.

She made her heart strong and said him to invite her for his marriage. He happily accepted and asked, “Are you in love again?”

She doesn’t expect such a question from him. She replied him simply a “ :) “ and updated her status as

                                       “No Love No Worries”

Few Things About Me

Even though I mostly write my posts from my experience, I find that I reveal very little about my actual personality on this blog. To know more about myself continue reading…

Here are the ten things you don’t know about me so far.

1.        My name starts with ‘A’ and ends with ‘A’. It’s a 7 letter name. A_____A. (I know now you all try to complete it with all your wild guesses :p )

2.       I live in India and my state is Tamilnadu. I love to be addressed as a tamil girl. My city is surrounded by full of nature, mountains and greens. (lucky to be here).

3.       I like to watch cartoons. My all time favorite is Heidi (the alps girl). I like popeye, kid vs kat, chota bheem, tom & jerry, Scooby doo. (Still like a kid :D)

4.    Before I choose this IT field, I have an aim to be an archaeologist. To be my surprise, computers are not boring machines. Eventually I started loving them that I designed this blog on my own according to my taste :P

5.       I dint use to talk very much to people. I like to think more than talking. There are a lot of times in my life, I dint talk where it’s needed. Even in group discussion of my interview, I spoke only one sentence because after all it is group discussion everyone must get a chance to tell their views. Lol

6.      I love to hug my blanket and sleep, yeah you read it right. It’s my blanket (soooo softy). Usually girls love to hug a teddy bear or pillow and sleep. With a blanket it sounds odd for many.

7.       I am addicted to reading and learning. I like to learn about new things often. Reading ebooks and novels are my favorite time pass.

8.      I am short tempered. I only get anger reasonably and when things go wrong. It depends upon what I said and what they did.

9.      I like to do things perfect. I always start to work well planned and complete it on time. being punctual is what I like. It gets you tension-free and satisfaction.

10.   I find my happiness mostly in small things. Tiny things never failed to amuse me. Like even a donkey is cute when its small :D

Raising Wings

 

Its warm and dark inside,

Wrapped and trapped with the threads of life,

Without the fear of danger,

Rests inside the shield of nature,

As a dead corpse lie in,

Kept on the hibernation state,

Not for long to find a way,

To head out for free in hay,

Broken the barriers of the shell,

Gracefully terminated from temporary sleep,

Groomed up to an extent of charm,

Spreading out the angel wings that flutter,

Raised towards the deep blue sky,

To show the hope in life before it dies.
