the endless black hole

I saw a dream today. we were back when we were more than a deleted phone number and 2 blocked Facebook profiles. When we went to the beach and spent the whole day throwing stones in the water. I remembered how much you loved swimming and I eventually ended up learning how to swim. I saw we were back by the pool and you were telling me to let go of my fear of water dive in. You said you have my back. I eventually dived once I did the pool turned into a sea. I was trading water and you were nowhere to find. I gasped for air but eventually gave up. That's when I woke up and found a storm raging outside and the rain got my entire bed wet. And for the storm raging inside me ....

  This was just another flight for him. Lately he had found himself on too many flights and going to too many places, but seeing none. So much so that the exhilarating view of the world from thousands of miles up dint amuse him anymore. Like any other flight immediately after take off he pulled out his head phones and started to work on the presentation.    He felt a sudden tap on his shoulder. He noticed it was the person sitting beside him. Funny how we get lost inside our electronic devices that we assume having a conversation is out of the ordinary. This person was about 70. He wore a dhoti and a formal shirt upon it. Still carried a Nokia 1100 with him. He said in a very soft voice "son could you please help me with the seat belt?", He obliged. What's your name he asked after thanking him "Sam" he replied. Sam returned to his presentation and only put the laptop down when meals were served.

She was the go to person for him to pickup a gift for his girlfriend. They never cared to think they were more than friends, But somehow everyone else around them knew. And as fate would have it they discovered soon. There is a point in everyones life when they know things would not be the same anymore, without any doubt this was it.     THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM had to be addressed.They felt like they were standing in front of a vast SEA and both dint know how to swim. Both knew it was best to turn around and live their life as they were supposed to but the SEA seemed to entice them to dive in. And in no time both were out of their depths and gasping for air.     One after noon while sipping on a cup of coffe she asked:                     ...

Lately she had been checking in and​ out too often in his thoughts for him to pass her off as a fleeting attraction. Because there was something about her which had made her one of the main characters of his story. At least in the story that he kept writing in his head but could never put down on paper, Mostly because the plot changed the characters changed or the reflection in the mirror changed too often for him to know what his story was all about, or what role he played in this story. But he knew she was part of it even though she didn’t. He liked the way she would pay no attention to the curls on her forehead but still make him skip a beat. Or Maybe that was because he would always find peace and calm in her presence. He would notice every movement she made and every emotion that her face would portray. The face she would make to tell him she wanted to have the last morsel of food from his plate. He was able to understand if she was not feeling well just by the presence of ch...
