It is often astonishing how a single moment can change in your entire being. How one word can touch your soul and set your whole body on fire.

Waiting for me to finish. I just wanted to tell her all of it. I wanted her to acknowledge my pain and love me from there on out till the end of time. I wanted to tell her why I froze the other day after embracing her touch. I wanted to tell her how her beauty had ripped apart my entire heart. How I had spent so many of my days in awe of a face I had never actually seen. I wanted to tell her, how in the most fairy tale of ways, I had fallen in love and that too with her mere shadow. But. 'I..' was all I said. [2016 Sadikshya Bhandari All Rights Reserved]
