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
