Heart-Talk

The Introvert.

- We are the introverts. We will listen to you till sunset and beyond. We have stories inside of us. Stories of self, and hundreds of others. Sometimes, people tend to mistake us as dull, arrogant, proud or selfish. But we are kind of the opposite traits. We have calm bodies, but our minds and hearts gushes of blood and thoughts. We are almost everywhere. The stranger whose warm smile while on the park makes your day good. The one at the shop who won't talk much. The seemingly arrogant biker down the street. We are just everywhere.
You sound great. You have different jackets to wear on saturdays, while we would like the same sweater as the coffee spill over the helm makes us smile. You go to parties, have circles of friends with whom the days turn photogenic, but we are creating photo albums in our mind, or diaries. We look long at sunrises, longer at butterflies. We walk a lot, sit a lot. We prefer corners, with a book, or something to get lost into. While you're busy living your excitement out in the world, we might be playing Mariam from A Thousand Splendid Suns. Sometimes, while on a cafe with a book, we grin at the thrill of sky falling. Our minds leave us and wander. We jump of a cliff, we kiss a stranger, we withdraw the blade on the verge of cutting our wrist. We break guitars on the stage. We are the saints, the singer, the womanizer, the shopaholic, the foodie, the doctor all in the same bed within a few hours. We live different lives, but we are very much grounded to our own.
Find time to sit with us one evening. Maybe we'll let you sneak inside the beautiful world. But we are introverts, we might not. But then again, we are introverts, we might.
