Confession No. 55



I was driving and a song came on air.  

I remembered. 

Across the table, 
Toes digging into lush carpet,
Pen twirled between fingers,
A frown of concentration. 

You leaned over, sliding the tiny music player across the smooth surface. 

Asked me to give it a listen. 

It was a song I barely knew the title of but could hum the chorus. 

I remembered how you asked me the meaning of three words. 

And I, being a well of random knowledge couldn't provide the answer. 

I know what the song is about, now. 

But we're no longer sitting across each other.

I have had this happen to me too Hanis... Finding the meaning long after I can explain it:)

I think that's one of the sadder things in this world. When you realise something someone wanted you to, and it's too late.

Which only goes to show you are a wiser woman now. Never feel sad for having grown; feel proud, whether someone else is there to see it or not.
