By the time I reached home, it was already 5:30 am. It was amazing that even when I worked endlessly, without much rest, I didn't felt tired very easily. I can't even say that food is the source of my never ending energy as I hardly eat anything except for lunch. That too, because I have Neil hovering over me at that time.
I took a quick shower before changing into a t-shirt, which was long enough to reach just above my knees and didn't required anything beneath it. I was alone now. Agnès moved out to stay with Hans. The last I heard from them, they were getting engaged. I couldn't attend their engagement as I was attending some conferences.
I jumped into my bed with my guitar. It was my best friend now. I looked at the two pictures that were hanging on the wall right in front of me.
The first picture was my parent's wedding picture. They both were looking beautiful and happy together. The second picture was of me and Theo, together. I remember the picture was from the three-day Theo's stay and was also among the only few pictures we had together. He was still holding me in that picture.
It was three years, since we separated but still everytime I would lie down on my bed, I'd recall the most beautiful memories of us, while playing Hey there Delilah by Plain White T's, the song which Theodore used to sing for me, alongwith Bruno Mars's, Just the way you are.
Whenever I used to miss him and we'd be skyping, he'd sing-
" Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true
Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me
Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good
Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
And we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame
Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This one's for you
