"I told him to close his eyes while I spill the heavy words from my chest. He chuckled thinking I was crazy. We were sitting face to face in an indian seat next to each other. We were at the wooden floor of their old house at the living room. It was almost evening but we did not open the lights. There was some subtle Norah Jones on the background as I looked at the smiling fool who thinks lightly of my emotions.
As I go further, he did not stop smiling. It pissed me off.
When he heard that one heavy exhale from me, he opened his eyes to look at my miserable form.
I looked away. Ashamed.
Yet he cupped my face with his strong hands and let his forehead touch mine.
For a few seconds I thought I was gonna get a kiss but he hugged me tight and told me, "May you one day, learn to let go so you can see the beautiful things around you. "
The delivery of those words sent peace to my world and I started becoming unafraid of this person. "
