Coffee And The Rain

Dearest One Direction, Ten years ago today, I would have never imagined that you would get me through everything that I couldn't have gotten through alone. When half of my friends made fun of me for the kind of passion I showed you, i didn't care. I didn't care because they don't know about us. I didn't care because you stole my heart with just one look. I didn't care because you were my temporary fix. I didn't care because when I'm with you, nobody can drag me down.  You boys don't even know I exist. But somehow, you understood. You got me through the dark.  "Im sorry if I say I need you. But I don't care I'm not scared of love. 'Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker. Is that so wrong.Is it so wrong that you make me strong. " Happy 10 Years to the hands I put my heart in' Cause it's gotta be you.  _________________ Oajaswini S

This girl I know told me she had never gotten flowers from a guy. People call it 'old school' love now. The kind of love when you consider it sinful to hold her hand without her permission. The kind of love where you show up at her door with her favorite flowers, the perfume wafting through the air. With her waiting for you in her favorite dress. The kind of love where you go out for a drink at that cafe you saw her at for the first time. You'd make her laugh. Maybe hold her hand too.  The kind of love where you talked about getting to know her more. Where you talk about wanting to cook for her and confessing to her that you've never been in the kitchen. You talk about dreams of slow dances in the living room. Those nights under the stars. The kind of love when the hopeless romantic in you awakes.  The kind of love where you write to her even though you barely know how to tell her you were in love with her flaws.  The kind of love where you were scared about how she wou...

In between sips of boost and bites of oily Pazhampori,  I watched your eyes sparkle. You sat at the table right across from me. And because of you..  I didn't notice the oil dripping onto my favourite T-shirt  or the Bhai staring intently from behind the counter. Your smile took a toll on my soul...  Like a bit of me was trapped in those flawed lips.  Your heart beats to the sway of your hair.  That was the first time I saw you. Your messy eating was Aphrodite throwing cheesy love signs at me.  Your 'not-so sexy' cheekbones were Appollo handing me Ambrosia.  But when you stood up to leave..  Oh! Athena has never bore such defeat....  I came for the Pazhampori but I stumbled onto you.  Maybe "serendipity" wasn't meant for us..  But If you do end up reading this.....  How about we try coffee next? _________________ Oajaswini S

You never know exactly when you fell in love with your best friend... But by the time you do, you are ready to hide them in between the lyrics of 'All of me', Whispering under your breathe the lines of your favourite love story that makes your heart ache... All of this because you fell in love, and realised a bit too late.....  Falling in love with how they hung on every word you say, only to shoot back at you with the sarcasm that makes you want to die... Falling in love with how angry they get when you tell them about that annoying person you can't handle... Falling in love with how they accepted you just as you are....  Falling in love with how raw and real they are around you.... By the time you know realise what this means, and muster up the courage to tell them how you feel, they are no longer the owner of their heart.... By the time you're ready... It's too late...  But well... In the end...  Rachel and Joey never really did get together....  ____________...

My dad nicknamed me after his mother.. Maybe he remembers her rebellion.. Maybe he sees that spark he saw in her eye in me too.. I'm not sure.. Maybe he just wants someone to trust..  Maybe he's just looking for relief in this treacherous world.. But my dad nicknamed me after his mother. He still talks about her But not too much. He talks about her with the pride of an army chief who just won the world. He is Zeus in his throne on Olympus when he talks of her. She was his Athena. She was his Aphrodite. Maybe he still craves to find a part of her in me too.. Maybe... Maybe... _________________ Oajaswini S

For all those who wanted her to be sorry for what happened... She is sorry.  She is sorry for being strong.  She is sorry your words could not cut her down.  She is sorry for not being submissive.  She is sorry you did not get the upper hand.  She is sorry you couldn't conquer the Goddess. That wheatish Goddess with black wires for hair.  That Goddess with that straight forward face.  That Goddess who makes you weak in your knees. Her eyes piercing your soul.... Making you want to gulp down all the guilt in you....  Making you want to be sorry for all the wrong you know you have committed...  The first of her kind to stand up for herself..  For that... She is sorry....  _________________ Oajaswini S

Dear love of my life, I don't usually do this but when I look at you,  I don't get butterflies, the whole zoo comes alive in my stomach.  But the one thing that compelled me to write was the fact that you stayed.  You stayed when everyone else turned their back.  You stayed when I lost all hope in myself.  You stayed when I thought there was no one for me to turn to. Megha Rao taught me that not everything that is broken in two looks more beautiful broken. I get a feeling, somewhere, somehow, that you know that too. I get a feeling that this bond will never break.  And for that..... I love you...  You've seen every flaw, every crack, every filler I've ever put on this broken wall of a human. And u decided to let me heal on my own.  For that... I love you...  You smile at me for no reason at all like I am the only goddess you would ever worship .... Your eyes show me that heaven is a myth as long as they are alive.  For that Heaven that d...
