The mirror spoke to me today,
about last night.
About you, about us.
The kohl in my eyes was smudged in the morning, I realised we were up till late having one of those long lost conversations that never end.
But you fell asleep in the middle.
And I curled on the floor for sometime. Clouds were ruling the midnight sky and the moon stayed hidden somewhere amongst them. The street lamps had the power to choose the colours they wanted to be surrounded with.
Getting lost in the storm of thoughts with eventually my eyelids shutting on their own, I slept.
You used to be the mirror of my nights now it's just dark and gloomy.
I opened my eyes when the sun rays seeping in through the curtains flashed on my face.
I lay there staring at the verandah through the window. Rains welcoming me to a beautiful new day. The dampness of the Earth filled my nose with a nice scent. Slowly my eyes closing again, snuggling under the covers, the once spread limbs were now taking the fetus position and there I was in my dream palace in your arms.
You used to be the mirror of my mornings now it's just bright because of the sunlight.
It takes only a few minutes for me to write you a letter but I'm more concerned about its aftermath that will prevail, of our memories.
A wanderer in search of her reflection…
