Neend

1:43am: He got tired of chasing the crawling lights on his wall, made by the cars zooming by.


His head was heavy,
numb, yet not.
Did not feel a thing, yet did.
Emtionless.Full.


2:30am: Craving for an emotional break, to cry his heart and eyes out. He drove to her place.
She knew he wasn’t asleep.
Knew he couldn’t.


She knew him too well for him to put everything he felt and thought into words.


2:45am: Welcoming with open arms, just as he knew she would.
The room was dimly lit with a few candles.


His heart smiled at her innocence. At her Love.


2:50am: She lead him to the bed, made him sit and sat right behind him.
Kneeling into her , he lay there eyes closed. Tears at the rim of his eyes.
She let it be. Let the tears be. Knew he’d find the comfort in her, in her presence.


Guzar Jaayen Sukh Se Teri
Dukh Bhari Ratiyaan
Badal Doon Maein Tohse Ankhiyaan
Bas Maein Agar Ho Yeh Batiyaan
Maangu Duaaen Haath Uthaaye
Meri Nindiya
Tohe mil jaaye
Main jaagun, Tu sojaye




...and He slipped into sweet slumber.
