i took a 20 minutes walk a while ago,
while having my headset in,
listening to the same music,
blasting it over and over again,
the thought of you loops,
in my head.

clichè as it sounds,
i stopped,
abruptly,
for some reason, and there,
i saw you,
stood up tall infront of me,
you smiled.
towering over me,
you held out your hand,
i was hesitant.
i know you aren't there but,
i still held my hands out,
and took it.

the cold breeze,
brushed against my shoulder,
strands of my hair fell down,

there,
i saw you,
with that damn smile of yours.
you mouthed,
reading your lips, you said,
"forever"

i didn't know what you meant,
by that,
but i replied the same too,
"forever."
with tears streaming down my face,
as i smiled back at you.
