I fell in love with so many things about you. One of them was the way you listened to me. With utmost respect, undivided attention. In a way that made me feel heard. Like my story mattered. Even when I was speaking gibberish, you'd sit there smiling. You'd laugh at my scoldings, smile at my rants. I was amazed and confused at your patience. Long after our conversations ended, and you probably would've been off to sleep, I'd lay awake wondering why were you listening to me in the first place. Why were you so curious about me, my life, my likes, dislikes... the stray dog I fed on the street, my chance encounter with an annoying school friend... why would you spend hours asking questions, digging deeper. I had never spoken so much to anyone in my life. Not even to myself. I spoke until I was tired, until I was empty, until I was repeating the same stories... and it's embarrassing how you listened to those repeating stories as well, without ever telling me to stop. It's only when you started completing those stories, that I realized I had been narrating the same event twice, thrice to you. The way you listened to me, was love. And I fell in love with you... and the way you loved.
©whitewingsThere's so much about you
that I fell in love with...
and this,
is just one of those million things.

The world desperately needs people
who are willing to be, and let others be...
weak.

You have this seemingly insatiable hunger for something. Probably an infinite hole in your soul. Call it hunger, call it thirst... but you've been searching for something. Feeling empty. This melancholy has been pervasive, perennial... seemingly eternal. And you go on trying to fill it with whatever you find. Whatever your soul, your mind, your heart, your body can grasp. You treat your tongue, you pleasure your body and stimulate your senses in all possible ways. You go reckless and pour into yourself... both poison and potion. Whiskey on Saturday nights, cigarette smoke in weekday lunch breaks... food laden with fat and meat... and sex with a stranger... paid service. And while you do all of it to yourself... your soul, looks and waits... patiently... for you to wake up from your sleep. Because that's all it'll take... to quench that thirst, satiate that hunger... stitch that gaping hole.

She's cautious with her heart,
because she knows
the world is full of people looking for fun,
disguising themselves as lovers.
And she...
she loves hard.
She's either all in
or not at all.

People cling to escapes. Some find it in a person, some find it in a bottle of whiskey, some in the smoke of cigarettes. Meaningless banter, politics and weather, or the latest celebrity gossip. This constant desire to be busy, as if pausing for a while would be lethal. The mere thought of stillness fills some people with nerve wrecking anxiety. And they go about pouring one day into another and another... until there are no more days left.

She's addicted to filling silences with words,
empty spaces with people.
Desperately she's running away
from what lies within.
She, in all her genial mornings,
is lonelier than my solitary evenings.

If you wish to heal,
more than anything...
you must be willing to change.
For how else can you expect a wound to go away,
if you aren't willing to see your skin,
in an altered look, texture and shade.

They try to fix my introversion,
with forced friendships
and fake laughter...
futile celebrations
and meaningless chatter.
As if there's something wrong
with having a brighter world on the inside.
As if it's a flaw in my existence,
that needs to be rectified.
And trust me, I've spent a lifetime
trying to fix myself...
because that's what was suggested
by the old, experienced and wise.
Small talk and gossip,
rants and pastimes.
I've cut and altered myself too many times,
to fit into the space
they were willing to provide.
And for years I've bled,
just to ensure
what I was doing was approved to be right.
But not anymore.
It's not hatred or avoidance or anxiety...
but my will to choose what I feed my mind.
I've built a richer world for me
than what this empty banter could offer.
And you won't ever understand,
because yes,
it's all in my mind.

Wait.
Do not hurry.
The healing takes time.
For the things
that are done
in haste
are only crimes.
