THE UNKISSED LIPS
.
.
Almost 8 years ago...
I was looking out of the window..window of 10th class
Staring at the black clouds...who were so far.
.
I turned my head to focus on my lessons
& soon the drizzling rain poured from the heaven...
They were beating the window pane (as if the rain wanted me to look at them)
I looked at the window... *OH NO THERE WAS A BLOOD STAIN*
.
With fear my eyelid fell down & something which was paused got rewound...
The same day in the 1st period, I went to the last bench...to my x-girlfriend
I broke up...our immature love came to an end.
.
She gazed at me with her wet eyes...
And crumbled the rose, which was going to be mine.
.
She sighed and said, "I've a first and last wish, please kiss my lips"...
My heart said a thousand "Yes" but "No" was the word my lips said...
I left her, because of my mother's swear.
.
I sat on my bench & with tonnes of pain in my veins..I turned behind
She was still gazing at me her wet eyes...
We stared for 5 seconds & she put her head down then..
.
The rewound memory came to pause again...
I gradually opened my eyes & looked at the window pane...
It was all clear, there wasn't a stain...
Just the rhythmic sound of the falling rain.
.
I turned back to see her...in the 4th period
But her head was still down...I couldn't see her
Finally the 4th bell also rang & the recess began...
I decided to go to her to love her for the last time.
.
I went to that last bench once again...
"Why aren't you looking up, are you fine?"
No reply, I asked again and again...
.
Something was there which made me scared...
I held her shoulders and pushed her back...
The blood was on bench, on her shirt, on my hand and everywhere...
.
There was a cut on her neck, yes she was dead
.
I yelled with sorrow, with unbearable pain...
Her loss was a bane.
.
The classroom was locked for FOREVER...
Time passed by but I couldn't forget her
.
Whenever I looked at the windows, I always saw the blood stain...
All the roses of yards used to got rot whenever it rained...
.
In every new class whenever I looked back...
I found her head down...that scene always flashed back
My body always shivered whenever I used to see her in my mirror...
I always skipped a heart beat whenever while sleeping
I felt as if she is staring me with her those wet eyes.
.
With every heart breaking day and scary night...
The time passed by.....
.
Last day of my school days arrived
Yes, it was my farewell & I missed someone who wasn't alive...
I decided to visit "THAT CLASSROOM" for the last time...
Though it wasn't allowed but no one could stop me at that time
.
My FOOTSTEPS walked the path
To reach the CLASS
*I reached, I peeped inside... She was there, sitting with her head down*
My eyes were scared, my heart turned to ice, the torture of decision of "not kissing her" threatened to crush me alive...
.
The wind blew and the locked door got opened...
I decided not to leave though I was threatened
I stepped inside, it was dark...
I was horrified because she was sitting at the back.
.
But my love for her made me go close to her...
Again I called her, the way i did 2 years ago...
This time she woke up, I stared at her with intense Love and Fear...
The cut mark on her neck was still there.
.
Tears didn't stop rolling on my cheeks...
I asked Can I Kiss Your Lips...
Her wet eyes gazed at me in the same way
They were staring at me on that disheartening day.
.
I sat beside her, held her waist..
She put her hands on me and half of her weight...
We came closer..eyes closed...WE KISSED
Suddenly my body felt weightless as she became wind...
.
I felt the Coldest Wind
.
I kissed the wind
The wind was "SHE" ❤
