Your presence, like a warm embrace of the cold breeze on a sunny Sunday morning. I like how it makes the butterflies in my stomach flutter. I like how it makes my mind go numb. Your voice lingers into my ears like a certain sweetness of the honeydew on my lips. I like how it sends chill down my spine. I like how it gives me goosebumps. How i like the love in its depth gore holes into my chest. Your smile, can light up a million suns. I like how they make me smile rhythmically. I like how they brighten up my entire day. You don’t know how much i have missed seeing it lately. You don’t know how it feels like ages, as if i have almost forgotten the smilelines at the corners of the best deep set eyes hiding below those bushy brows and how that square jaw moves when you smile and then how your entire chiseled face lights up and gets adorned with a beautiful curve to show your pearly whites. You don’t know how much I miss waking up to those morning kisses. You don’t know how much I miss you.
But these dollops of my emotions and lexical references can never do justice to the renderings of the heart. These will never tell you how my heart aches to witness another hour, another minute pass in your absence. You said, “Miss me thoda sa.” To say that I miss you a lot would be an understatement. I miss you every moment of the day. You never leave my mind and I’m struggling to make peace with your absence and your ever so gayab schedule. I believed it wasn’t going to be easy, but I never knew it was going to be this hard. I believed you when you said, ” It’s gonna get busier and harder, but we’ll survive this.” I believed it coz when I peeped into those eyes, I knew you meant it. God how I miss seeing those eyes looking at me through that phone. It was that look in them that spoke a million words, words that you otherwise keep hidden in your heart.
