As he was moving forward, our memories were getting closer to me. When he was gone so far that nothing could measure the distance he walked by, I felt caged but I assumed he was free.
(The act of moving forward does not leave things behind but keeps the things chasing without any acknowledgement.)
He was not a villain but a human being like me who believed in evolving with changing times. Sometimes the concept of change ruins the relationship between two impatient aspiring people. When I wrote him the very first letter of confession, expressing how his presence evolved me and wishing to evolve with him for the rest of my life. He was shocked because I am stolid.
(When we feel the storm of love has arrived, we start preparing to celebrate the peace afterwards.)
He was not my whole world but my home. We had different roots, but we came together under the white sky to build the ladder to reach high in this concrete city. We loved looking at the irregular patterns of clouds in the blue sky, which represented the irregularities of our lives. Everything seems beautiful when we are in love.
(In love, we celebrate the togetherness more than celebrating the love.)
I was left with my sole dreams and hopes. The first time, the city appeared as a desert. However, the people do live in deserts. With scarcities and scorching days, we find ways to live happily. We move on. We realise that the ugliness of leaving is better than the beauty of returning. Now after years I feel, we are nomads. Our lives share dynamism. I am drawing regular patterns from irregular clouds. The city is fulfilling. Life is bliss.
When you left
I had us
Less of me, but more of you.
When I quest
I still have us
More of me, but less of you.
