Bismillah..
Do you know..there's a box in the depth of a corner?
sitting there hunched, staring at the red curtain
as if looking at a theatre
sitting on that table, reading at surah Al-Ahzab
sea just outside the window
and the pledge
the pledge that I made under that wide umbrella
was that real?
the hard wood under my fingers
the soggy shoes treading the floody path
the starry skies, the brightest I've ever seen
yes, it's real
I figured so
*tears*
that the promise is true
remains true although I'd shut my eyes
- - -
there's a memory there
struck closer to me than all the conversations
the tears, the smiles shared
the heart that resolves on past & present issues
its the quiet
the quiet dance around each chairs/tables
every steps treading down freshly-mown grasses and paved walks
the quiet moment we'd shared by heart settling on singular page
or the understanding of every word
and the kind gestures
- - -
I need no words to explain who I am
what I love
what I can't
can you understand that?
