Trading glances across the room

One wink, one text, and we both knew it was our cue to slip out unnoticed :) It used to be our quiet language, something any pair might share. A glance across the room, a subtle wink, sometimes just a quick text… enough to say, “It’s time.” Whether it was couples, siblings, or family, many had their way of slipping out of a gathering unnoticed and we were no exception. We had our rhythm ;) One of us would signal, the other would gently wrap up conversations, and together we’d make our graceful exit. Sometimes, we’d get caught and teased. I’d excuse myself politely, but the shy smile on his face would give us away every single time. Now, when I find myself in those same corners, my eyes still search for that wink, or even a message. I remind myself not to let discomfort take over, not to make it heavy for me or anyone else. But there’s an ocean within me, quietly longing for that one familiar look… convincing me, even now, that your voice still reaches my heart. And yet, I know it’s on...

 Only if you were there to listen to my days…. 

Raking the aches...

I yearn for my space.... the one that held my abandoned heart with quiet warmth, the only place my eyes could turn to for calm, for comfort. I am bound by words, yet I long to hear that voice again; the one that could quiet my fears, if only for a while, the anchor that somehow helped me rebuild myself. I hover over your name, your number, pausing again and again, holding myself back, replaying the weight of that final disagreement. Your voice still echoes, but my pulse resists it. There’s a scream within me, left unspoken.. aching to spill, aching to be heard.... xoxo..miss you immensely :(
xoxo boy... only if you could hear all my complains in one go...  The week began with a quiet determination to set my worries aside for a while and meet each day with a little more lightness. But I didn’t realize how dangerous expectations can be; how they don’t just bruise the heart, but weigh on the body too. I tried, I really did, to silence the noise in my head, chasing small, simple joys to keep myself steady. But with every passing hour, I felt myself retreating, shrinking back into my own little corner… my breathing space. It’s the only place where I can pause, steady myself, and gather the strength to rebuild what keeps slipping away. Today, I couldn’t hold it together anymore. I gave in, took the day off, and just… drove. Aimlessly. Through unfamiliar streets that honestly terrified me, I don’t think I’d ever dare to take them in the dark. But I needed something, anything, to feel grounded again. I tried reaching out, tried to distract myself, but it all blurred into restl...

Sip Into Something Fresh

I know it sounds a little whimsical, but I wished he was there, holding a tall, sunlit glass of lemonade, pausing long enough to just smile and allow me say, How thoughtful!" On heated summer afternoons, we’d drag out the enormous lawn mower (at least, it always felt enormous to me) and let it hum and chomp its way through the wild, restless grass, until the yard softened into something serene… a quiet place where I could finally breathe. A place where morning would arrive gently, carrying the scent of happiness in its very first breeze. If you’ve never noticed those early hours belong to no one. They are meant for gathering yourself, for stitching together fragments of peace, for learning how to simply  be . No human echoes only the soft, scattered songs of wandering birds, the delicate rustle of life unfolding, even the small, unseen creatures finding their joy in the ordinary. And there a spider’s web, finely woven with impossible patience, catching light like a secret remi...

Evernear!

Since his muscles felt weak, I began missing the strength in asking for a scalp massage. Not because I thought I wouldn’t get it, but because I didn’t want to risk the emotion it might stir in him. He wouldn’t express it openly, but I could sense the subtle weight in his words, the quiet way he missed those cozy moments we shared. We had built a rhythm, engaged in small but meaningful habits of self-care or rather, caring for each other and I missed that deeply. The simple things that surrounded us had became practices that nurtured our bond, extending our time together with giggles and effortless boundaries. Today, it felt strange when she touched my scalp, trying to create that “customer satisfaction” ambience. A brief flashback distracted me and nudged me to ask for a little more. She was time-bound and couldn’t understand the reason behind my request, but I realized something: even though the process was the same, the fingers were different. The pressure, the comfort, the pleasur...

Wherever you are…..

Little did you know how much your guidance meant to me, how much I quietly looked forward to it. Sometimes it came gently, other times wrapped in teasing observations and soft giggles. Either way, it always felt like an earnest pull, as if we were effortlessly drawing each other closer, only to end up wrapped in the simple ecstasy of being together. I miss every breath of that process, from the moments of getting ready, to the end of the day when I would return and slip back into my pajamas. Yet today, I step forward prepared to feel your presence in every move I make. Because I know, and I trust, that somewhere you will be there in the audience, smiling at my mistakes and waiting to say, “Ahh… you still don’t know anything.” Life moves on, and so will I. But from the moments of dressing up to the quiet moments of letting the day go, nothing remains quite the same without you, my love. Wherever you are… wish me luck!
