Where are you then?

When the darkness falls,
When the silence prevails,
When the air freezes,
when the stir stops,
When the cricket chirps,
when the life sleeps,
when the bed warms,
when the limbs break,
When the nerves ache,
When the sense fails,
When the eyelids droop,
When the eyeballs squeeze,
when the eyes close,
WHERE ARE YOU THEN?

Picked this poetry online from Qaisar Janjua... @Thx Qaisar!

Home Alone...

I was in a coed dorm kinda place. Or was it a house? Anyway, my housemates were not at home. There was some function they had to attend. It was just me and V? There were two bathrooms - one generally used by girls and another generally used by boys in the house. To save time and since no one was there we thought of utilizing both. So as V used the one that we generally used, I turned to the one nearer to the guys room. While I was setting my toiletries inside, the guys returned. G was among them? He told me in a rude tone, 'I want to use it'. I removed my stuff and went outside, kept my stuff on the table there and waited for the bathroom to get free. Then I remembered taking off my ear-rings and rings and keeping it on the counter next to the basin.

By this time V had come out so I used that bathroom. Besides rest of the guys had returned. When I came out this one was free as well. I went to look for my rings, but they were not there. I went to look on the table thinking G kept them there, but they weren't there either. Found few beads necklace lying on the table, one of them gifted by me to V. I was wondering to whom the others belonged. I knew each little item owned by my female housemates. I was feeling jealous of the girl to whom these belonged, as I felt G had given it to her.

My dream shifted to something else.

P.S. I never gifted V a necklace. And I don't know why I saw G after such a long time!
