In college '07...

Sometimes feelings fail you of their meaning. I seldom feel so deep, so obscure. I was never stared at so diligently, so fervently…jealous to the other eyes, but I tried to pretend as I hadn’t seen anything at all. Happy, yet confused and conscious about the fact that some answers needed to be written on my answer script. But I held back my desire to look back.

I did quite well.

Next week my feelings sped away dangerously at perilous alleys, I talked nonsense to friends who never had ideas about my inner dialectical emotions. I seemed perfectly normal to them, while I was in another high, drooling over non-existent castles. I wrote poems, drew sketches of the soothing scent. I created life on paper with my creative yet scratchy pencil lines. I never felt so possessed before.

I never really got over the feeling. I would never want to either. I know its fate-less. But if that’s how feelings taste like then I am rather happy that it didn’t deceit me at all. I however don’t feel so much possessed now but the emotions continue. The jealous eyes still stare at us when I am looked at. I feel a bit hesitant, a bit defeated, a bit outdone by those precious little ogles. I don’t mind that at all.

I have not shared this with anyone, and I now feel I should write about it. It’s not cheap, not a fetish neither an obsession. But I will hold these feelings close to my heart, and you might see me smiling all by myself with my eyes tight shut, and correctly guess the reason for the happiness.
