Fact or fancy, eh?
Do relationships truly last forever? Infact, does anything last forever?
But how lovely it is to believe To feel To seek For such an eternal relationship
Nothing lasts forever Nobody lasts forever However The beautiful memories Those wonderful scenaries The countless mysteries How wonderfully do they last in our minds
In my 30s I understand that eternal relationships is jus a fancy term Jus something we want to believe that our partners or families would remain It’s beautiful how we know what’s fact and what’s fancy and yet choose to believe what we believe
Hush hush… first rule of a library. Our minds be the loudest though.
Had an extremely loud mind that needed a space to relax and sink in the reality of my living.
So I walk into this.. Library.
Everyone’s glued to something. Something to learn, read, research.. or jus sit in peace. I was ofcourse one of them.
I had developed reading a bit late into my 20s and was struggling to keep my focus on the pages.
A little while later, I saw this beautiful little boy walk in, with his mother.
He looked so curious. Looked like he walked into his kinda party, so excited.
Looking at him being excited, I was curious what his library day was going to be like..
He whispered to his mom , “I’ve got a list of books I’d like to read” Mom was visibly excited too to get him all the books he wanted. She grabbed the list from him.
She exclaimed, “That’s a…lot!”
He snickered.
She made him sit on the chair opposite to mine. We exchanged a warm smile across the table.
She got him about 15 books atleast in 20 mins or so.
He spread them across the table. So happy like he won the lottery and was verifying all the books his mom got to the table.
He was so overjoyed. He kept looking at his mom and kept smiling as a thank you note sort of for every book he opened.
The whole interaction was jus adorable and made my day better at the hush hush library.
That boy, am sure he’s gonna do great and make his mom proud.
Cheers to him!
This beautiful yet arrogant boy I met Hardly 8 years old but what a story to tell So arrogant so tough yet so soft and so lovely He made sure I knew his presence every day and showed up to talk Showed up to express his feelings for me Me, who was already head over heels in love with him But could I say it, nope Could I express it, nope But boy did I want him to know that he managed to be my first crush The guy I could never forget the entire life Cuz hey, first crush happens only this one time right And what a beautiful boy What a beautiful story I could write
This lean boy wearing grey trousers Walked around like he owned our worlds He always liked holding everyone’s attention He could jus do whatever and do you think he was even scared of detention?!
He walked over to me one day, To me, who was this 8 year old girl at a new school New city And he told me, he likes me That’s exactly the moment I fell too hard I don’t know if I played it hard to get or if he clearly saw me through That I have fallen for him too
Left the school next year cuz I transferred Hardly anyway to communicate we could never talk again Never see us again But fate had its own plan for the two birds
I met him again 10 years later Jus about to get into college A grown up young adult both of us Hardly knew what was gonna hit us
We found each other Fell for each other , all over again I finally confessed to him That he was the guy I truly loved
To wake up is sometimes tough It’s jus unexpectedly rough But you push it through With all your will and strength Tell yourself the most beautiful things Remind yourself how beautiful it could feel
But who we kidding right? Pretending to be tough and tight Fake it till you make it is what we heard To keep that going on is purely absurd
But no matter what let’s fight Who knows anymore what’s wrong n right You’ve only got this life to live So you toughen up and let’s learn to forgive
