She and I

She loved eyeliner, I loved Kajal.

She died for French toast and coffee, I craved for ginger tea.

She liked night clubs and I liked silent roads

Introverts always seemed dead to her, I remained silent just to listen to her

Writers were boring to her, but she watched me writing whenever I did

She dreamed of shopping in New York square, I wanted to be lost in gardens of Assam

She wanted to go around the world, while my whole world was hers.

She didn’t try to change me, neither did I.

A year passed as we moved away from each other

I came to know,

Now she has begun remaining silent.

Started writing,

Even visited gardens of Assam,

Stayed till midnight on the silent roads

And drank ginger tea.

Now I also drink coffee sometimes while travelling around the world.
