The Ride
We were apart as if we were in an atonement
Actually yes, we committed the biggest sin
In the eyes of the people of our place
In the era, where even the machine learns
Still, they prefer to be stubborn
And yet we met
We planned a heist to get her with me
My mind, filled with frustrations and anxiety
All cleared up when she sat beside me
I just found my remedy
Everything was different that day Maybe it’s the cold breezy wind which touched my skin
Or the warmth of her love which struck my heart
We talked for hours, rode several miles
The moment was ours, filled with smiles
We pulled over, to have some food
But we both cant have much than a bite
As we were already filled with love
Then, we started to roll back to our place
With packed food and stacked emotions
Despite having much to talk
We were silent as the grave
Perhaps we both don’t know where to start
But we both never wanted this ride to end
I broke the silence by taking her hand
Within her hand, I felt like home
I can’t even think of anything else
I wish our hands are tangled together
So that we would stay together forever
And I have never been gentle with the throttle
Still, no words came out but the tears did
It screamed a lot than any words could do
And suddenly she fell on my shoulders
Which felt like the sky falling on the ground
And it actually did as the roads were misty
After wiping the tears of the cheeks and windshield
We were just smiling at each other
And we said to ourselves, “How have we evolved ?”
From being my only dream
To being my only reality
We reached our place, and when she got down
She took all her belongings and my heart too
I let her have it as I know it belongs to her
She walked away and got faded
Not due to the mist, but due to the tears
No one ever looked me, the way she looks at me
I just lived the moment by then with her
Without regretting any past or fearing of future
Both of us, even reaching before home
Already started to miss the Ride.
