Letting go....

I hear the forced ease in his voice
And perhaps I understand now,
So I choose to let it go...

 You meet someone and see a reflection of your soul
And all you want, is to know him better,
To speak, to tell, to hear
Without any commitment, any promise.
But sometimes, the other persons has his doubts
The other person has his fears
So I choose to let it go....

 Destiny is what makes two souls meet
But we choose who we want in life
who we do not,
When he has made a decision,
I must respect that.
So, I choose to let him go.....

 And I know,
I have a life to live,
and not just live but live to the fullest,
So I choose to let him go
And live his dreams
And I'll live mine.

 Coz this time I cant afford to lose myself
for anything, any place, any expectation or anyone,
For any regrets
And keep faith
That whatever happens, happens for the best.
So I choose to let him go....

 Letting go.....it's important, no???
Situations arise and teach you...

PS:- It's a fiction (I dont know if poems can be called fictional :P )

    However hard it is, it is the best to let go. Sooner or later you realize it's okay, it hurts but it's not as important as it seemed, that you can do better by staying away too, by giving both the space they need. It's okay.

    I loved how this poem came up. Simple and profound. Could connect to it. :)

    Stay happy! ^_^ I'm glad you chose to live. :D

    beautiful.... few years ago I had written a similar poem and reading this makes me feel as if it was just yesterday.... letting go is so painful yet the right thing to do at the right time... not for anybody else but for ourselves most importantly.

    It's very grown-up and understanding of her to do what she did. It stings and it breaks your heart to acknowledge that the other person is not interested or starts to feel uncomfortable at some point, but the right thing is no doubt to do what's better for both of them, which is to let go.

    The realisation of how good that decision was doesn't come immediately but over time and one feels thankful that he/she did the right thing.

    It was a really beautiful and profound(specially the second stanza) poem Priya. I hope that she does live her life to the fullest and make her dreams come true. :)

For Love (Or Not) Of Books...

I remember the time in 2012, January or February, when I began reading , I was so hungry for books. I would spend the whole day reading. And the books I read then, I still remember the story, some lines even today. I used to have at the most three unread books at a time, not starting a book until I was done with the one I was reading. I might not have read many , but that was better. Slowly I developed a mania, not exactly of reading but of purchasing and collecting. Collecting books is a hobby, even an obsession but I am not against that. But I am against piling up unread books one over the other onto the bookshelf. It’s a pure disregard. Or may be it doesn't work for me! I just hate my bookshelf these days. It’s having so many good books yet I am not reading any. In fact, even if I am reading, I have realised that it’s more to finish a book than to read. I am in the middle of four books this time. It sucks you know. Leave. So, no more purchases

This post is a part of  Write Over the Weekend , an initiative for  Indian Bloggers  by BlogAdda Chosen among the Loved posts!! "Again you are scribbling..Can't you put your nose off your books and papers for sometime?" my mother snaps at me as I scribble a poem. "Oh ma! Atleast listen to what I wrote" "Hmm...tell" "Ahmm ahmm" I pretend to clear my throat and My mum laughs back. "Will you open your mouth or should I go back to kitchen?" "Oh!No-no please!" I say quickly and grab her by elbow. Who doesn't want audience? ;) Listen," Life's unpredictable, Can't say when it would take a turn. We can't really say, When life might be deprived of all fun. It's true, What elders say, You should know to walk alone; No matter  Come what may. She smiles and looks at me for some time curiously. "You write well and what you've written is indeed true."

*FICTION* I was going through all the messages and chats we had shared just a month back. How things change I wonder!! Re-reading them was like going through many emotions. Those lines still gave me the same smile, same laughter the way they had given me a month before or so. Though yes, this time, those were accompanied by a li'l sadness and a wish. A part of me still wished if it could be continued, if we could take it further. A wish that at least it should not have ended so abruptly like this. He thought for a while and thought about calling her. Perhaps he could change this. There was no point in continuing but he was feeling a turbulence inside him. He had always felt something different about her. After his previous relationship which ended on a bitter note, he came across somebody different. The reason why they became friends and then why he chose to end everything were unknown to him. It started all of a sudden and then ended. He knew he had his 'be pract
