Out Of Tune

Some people walk into your life like a pause.
Not loud.
Not demanding.
Just... there, in the middle of everything else.
She has always lived within lines-routine, expectations, quiet understanding of where she belongs and where she doesn't.
He has never stayed long enough to belong anywhere.
Between the slow rhythm of the ghats and the constant pull of leaving, their paths cross in moments that feel almost accidental. A shared silence. A familiar song. A face that refuses to stay just a stranger.
It isn't sudden.
It isn't easy.
It builds in the spaces between meetings, in unfinished sketches, in words never fully said.
But some connections don't ask for permanence to feel real.
And some choices don't come down to love or leaving-
but to who you become when you're asked to choose.
