Member-only story
he saw me last night(poem)
He saw me last night and he didn’t flinch
I got scared and took a step back
For a minute I thought he was someone else
I was screening and looking at everyone
While waiting for my friend
Wasn’t expecting him to be there
Was he not with her that day
When I passed by him
And he was standing near a
Bench on the pathway
I saw her smiling and fixing her hair
As he was telling her something funny
He is not funny, to be honest
Why does he think he is?
Maybe because he won
By joking on my breath
When I reached to him for surface
He must be laughing at my existence
After everything
I must have gone back to my shelter
He must have thought
Why did he think like that?
Maybe I have shown him
How weak my love is for him
When every time
it breaks me the same
as he leaves
But this time it was different
My friends and family warned me about him
I was in love
“One day he will break and it will be hard to breathe”
My mom said
“But he is not that person” I defended
“Then why can I see him when the candles
on your cake are melting”- Mom retorted
“Cause….” I stopped
I had to
No excuses were left for him
So this one day when he left
I stopped
Waiting for him
This day I forgot that he exists
It happens like that only
No rush no cries
One day it was all silent
And you realize you love it more
then the hand touching you
which has touched many
There
he stood tall with his pride
nothing he is ashamed of
I smiled and was on the verge of laughter
When he said
“I know you missed me”
I looked at him again and burst into that controlled
laughter while I walked toward my friend.
