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!

Quitting

S was quitting... the job probably. Had come to tell me that he would be leaving. It was too sudden. It was as if he was leaving the place forever. I was devastated. 

I called up D and asked him to marry me. He agreed. No questions, no explanations.

There was a lot of water, rains, greenery. 

P.S. I woke up feeling guilty. Too guilty. Just because I couldn't have S in my life, is it fair to D to drag him back in there? Even if he wanted it himself?
