ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Saimah. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the most sadly beautiful things i have read, although i wish that even if people changed the love didnt....
ReplyDeleteAwesome yaar. Nicely shown the understanding and love between them.
ReplyDeleteGagan: Thank you :)
ReplyDelete@Anonymous: When people change, their feelings are likely to change too. Thanks :)
We do change all our lives, that doesnt make us stop loving the people that we do, and changing for good should mean accepting people not letting go.
ReplyDeleteThis is just an argument im having with myself :)
Things left unspoken, things understood. Lovely piece of writing there, Pesky. You outlaid the chemistry between the two so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, life isn't that *ideal* as we hope it is.
ReplyDeleteKaran, Thank you so much! :)
Aww I'm glad you liked it. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan now.
ReplyDeleteThis hits a little too close to home. with the possible exception of banshee-esque screaming and the invocation of my good ancestors in vain.
But yes, I hate it when the nostalgia begins to resurface. And questions like "Remember how you used to...?" and "Who is that bitch?" start. It's feels. And the big feels have this way of making you feel small.
Totally. I hate it too. And mostly I end being sad remembering all the good things rather than remembering the bitter portion and feeling... normal?
DeleteAlso, instead of "Who is that bitch?" I kind of question myself "Why was I a bitch?". Lack of narcissism maybe.
