Sometimes
it gets lonely. So lonely that it feels as if I’m the only person on this
planet. Alone. Totally alone. And on such nights, it is only the loneliness
that talks to me. Talks to me in a language that just the two of us can
understand! Because it has been my companion. Since long! It talks. And while
it talks, it transports me. It transports me to a bygone era. An era where a
part of me, or wait; the whole me lives. Still. The funny thing being that this loneliness
wasn’t in sight then. Today, it enwraps me like air and the irony is that
it feels exactly like lack of it. A complete blackout; not of light, but of my
emotions. Or maybe not. Because at such times, the only emotion I can feel is ‘YOU’.
