you stepped into my life from nowhere at all.
a random stranger on the terminal next to me - you ignited intrigue, a litle hesitation, a very hmm feeling. within the hour, you'd bought me a packet of chocolate chip cookies and a coke and we sat in the cafe, you smoking, me chatting away. you smoked marlboro reds. *smile* goodbyes were soon said, but not before a little deadlinemeetingbonding, and only a merest hint of a contact ever again..
find me on orkut
don't worry, i will
and you didn't. soon you were forgotten. memory waned. you remained nothing but a forgotten memory of a couple of hours worth of pleasant smiles and a partner in meeting Shell application deadline. the imranulhaq scoldings and the printer messups. but then, you popped into my inbox one day, "Re: CV"
shisha and blueberry margarita soon followed. the drive outside mathematics department (was it?) conversation was always effortless and sooner than i realized.. i found myself giving kiraninsights, something thats quite unkiran now. then hotnspicy. then a concert. then hotnspicy again. the random drives out of nowhere. the card, the credit, the mutual friends. the all night phone calls.. friendly, platonic moreoftenthannot.. made me giggle and left me giddyhigh.
the vanilla sky conversation.
and somehow i got too busy to call you ever again. a week later i realized you hadn't called either. or smsed. or emailed. two people pulled close into friendshiplikething in two weeks, endless talks - we got caught up in mutual expectations, mutual walls.
i forgot you. wouldn't be mistaken in assuming the same for you.
until one day when all of a sudden you existed again. sitting in gsk presentation i turned around and my eyes stopped on you.. and i averted my gaze. the list came.. your name called out before anyone else's. you saw me when i wasn't looking. i saw you when you weren't looking.
mutual hesitation.. we didn't know if the other wanted to talk. or acknowledge.
we became strangers somehow.
you'd stepped out of my life as suddenly as you'd come.
but you remain one of my most magickal things :)
