listening to: my Guardian angel - Shallum Xavier
At first it was a nutshell, but when the world changed, my eyes opened and took in too many insecurities. Those insecurities have now become a part of me i can never get rid of. They haunt my every thought and flood each passing moment of my life with untamed emotions. I must thank you for ripping those insecurities from the deepest depths of my existence, tormenting them, abusing them, nurturing them and placing them right back where you found them. It's made me weaker and more a part of you than ever before.
There she was, standing before his very eyes. Why his mind was saturated with those thoughts was understandable; still, an invisible barrier broke off any channel of communication between the two of them. She was looking away the whole time, not noticing his pain, or perhaps, not wanting to. She had always been weak and unable to see anyone hurting. Somehow, a hidden strength helped her as she suffered in silence for what seemed like a lifetime.
Finally, he gathered whatever confidence he had left in him and opened his mouth to speak. Silence. Again. Silence. In times of need, words had always failed him when tears stood by his side and nothing was different this time.
When the silence had become too unbearable, she looked towards him. It was the first time their eyes had met. Anger. Hate. Love. Jealousy.
A melange of uncontrollable emotions surged through them the moment they set eyes on each other; as they sought out the same confusion in each others' eyes, all they found was a bizarre calmness. He didn't stop watching her until she was forced to lower her gaze and gradually, that familiar smile crept onto her face. And in an instant, they parted their ways without exchanging a word. He could've lived a thousand lives just to go back to that moment; it was all that he asked for and more. He wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
