Lost and found. Or maybe never found.

The gazes towards you turn even more deep. The meagre smiles offered amidst a myriad of sulks and straight faces never looked more false.
You want to hold on, but there comes a point when what you were clinging onto is lost. Who you were holding onto is also lost.
The face that once comforted you in a crowd turns hostile and in a matter of hours, it becomes a part of that crowd which makes you feel all the more uncomfortable.
You will walk into an empty room, and expect someone there, waiting for you with a look in their eyes. A look that sets a bad day right, a look that reassures you that everything is understood even when a word is not shared or spoken. Or wait, maybe the room is just not empty, its just void of people you would want to converse with. Its only a room full of people you only ‘watch’ but never communicate with. They weren’t one of those people you’d call to have the concluding-to-nothing talks, share the headless, tailless, senseless laughter. ‘Cos them with you could stir a conversation on anything, are not there.


The crushes, the dreams, the thoughts, the failures, the aspirations, the sentiments- that one person you poured everything into- is not there.
One day, you held hands, clung onto each other for support and the other day, things turned haywire. And you lost her. Her touch, her smile, her comfort, and most importantly her presence and essence.
Maybe she’s still there, but her way of looking at you is totally altered. Now you ‘just talk’ never ‘communicate’. This, is even worse than her going away. Perhaps, forever.
.
That really good friend of yours and how you lost him/her. How it pains!
Sometimes the walk-out is for bad, mostly not. But her empty place ..
How you wish her back.
Maybe life turns around, and you get her back. But .. you both know, once a knot in the thread, and things are never the same.

  1. How Much I wish her back - How much I Love her- How Much I miss her- How much I care for her - all gone, when she just said a mere "Good Bye". A Lost Friend. A Lost Love. ANd May be a Lost Hope.

  2. Sometimes I feel its wiser to forget some. But then, some are worth remembering.Those we lose by our follies and felonies. Sigh!

  3. Wiser By Mind - Not Wiser By Heart. If it was really that easy to forget everything, my Life would have been a lil better. And 'cos of some technical difficulties, our Brain doesn't have a Delete Button or anything like that. :[

    And I dunno. Some are destined to leave. Anyway! No comment discussions here. :)

  14. Well written .I see it this way. Every relationship has knots,whether u see it or overlook ..But whats a true relationship is making that every knot to grow the relationship stronger.For its with bad we know the good..Its with knots we understand the relationships ..Whats life if its simple,plain and straight ...:)Its not about checking how many knots ..but checking how well we value the remaining string..that makes the difference ..:)

    ReplyDelete
  15. happens! but then if its meant to be,you will find her again :)

    ReplyDelete
  16. So true. It's hard to undo a knot in any relationship.

    P.S: Sorry about the previous deleted comments. My system caused some problem.

  17. Same rules apply here as love. If it's meant to be, you'll find your way back for sure.

    I like how articulate you are:)

  19. Hey Cяystal, another great write, good stuff.. Just how many of us out there have the 'T' shirt so to speak.. and that damn knot!! Maybe its me being a hopeless romatic, but i often sense that parts of modern society tend to adopt the 'grass is greener on the other side' approach to life rather than spending the time to try and unravel the knot. Thanks for a great share, fine words.

    I will check out your friends blog and give her more support.

  22. ". . . once a knot in the thread, and things are never the same."

    Oh, so true :'( but I really like what Mystic said about 'valuing the remaining string' :)

    Wonderful writing again and a topic that everyone can relate to at one time in their lives. Awesome pic! I'm off to visit Gossamer Diaries unless I get sidetracked which happens ALOT :D

    P.S. ~ Instead of a "No Soliciting" sign on your blog, I think you need a "No Chat Box Forum Allowed" :P :D

    Faced a lot from past an year... Losing friends(close ones) and later behaving like strangers...

    I hope you do justice to your friendship.
    Well nice post gal :)

  44. when we feel that a particular person will never leave, that is when the person leaves.
    And yes, it is sad to see how times change, and how time changes people.

    Your post is something that everyone will be able to relate to. We all lose a good friend at a point, and the absence is deeply felt.

    Your writing is very mature :)
    I loved this piece!

    Take Care :)
