How Long?

How long does it take for like to turn to love. How long does it take for strangers to be best friends. How long does it take to make a mistake. How long does it take to know you are wrong and apologize. How long before you make the same mistake again. How long does it take for hard work to bear fruits. How long does it take for a tulip to bloom. How long before the moon waves goodbye and the sky welcomes the sun. How long before the wish you made on a shooting star/ red mail van/ fallen eye lash, comes true? How long before you realise that some wishes never come true. How long does it take for a father to escort his baby to the altar? How long should a hug be to take away all anxieties? How long does it take your heart to accept what your mind knows. How long before you realise that Life is not always sunny and bright? How long before you say, but I love the bright days, smiles, moments. memories that make it all worth? How long does it take for your eyes to say something to his. Ho

Ten Days

Ten days of talking to me and making myself understand and telling myself what Scarlett O’Hara said to herself - “Tomorrow is another day.” Ten days of begging my friends to stay near me and randomly holding them close, not wanting to be alone and letting them go. Ten days of trying my best to feel something, anything, of trying to get out of this numbness and pretension that I know I have developed. Ten day s of swamping myself with work enough to keep my every waking hour occupied. Ten days to start trusting myself. Again. Ten days of getting over the blank staring when memories come rushing back. Ten days to start singing my songs. Ten days to start believing my Shah. Ten days and then I wont have tears in my heart every time I see you, because now I will see you differently. Ten days and Zendagi Migzara.
