I Run To You


I don't even know why I called you up tonight. It's not like I had hopes of you answering. Nor did I really expect you to care..
But then, nor did I think that you'd be so cold. 

The last time we spoke, an year ago, we decided to part ways. But then, we didn't end it on a bad note. It was all mutual. Nothing was working out. We did say that we'd keep in touch to check upon each other. But then, none of us made a move. We didn't bother to ask if we were fine, or if we required anything. Were you waiting for me to make the first move? 
But today, I did make one.
I called. 
I don't know what I was thinking, but then, I just needed you.

I remember you holding my hands and saying that I could come running to you if ever I needed anything. 
That you would still be there.
But tonight, when my world crashed, and you were the only one I needed..
You hung up on me, without letting me say a word. 

You said I could come running to you.
But when I did..
I slipped.

And you just turned and walked away.

I can't write. Nothing comes to me. I'm just stuck in a phase. I guess I'll come back to writing about something better and different soon..Everything just seems dead.

  5. Nothing is dead. And that's the secret. I am sure you will come back with more words and thoughts. Though the ones you have penned down in this post are also make for quite a read. :-)

  6. This is sad, but it's life and part of reality. Sometimes,things things come without expecting, though there were people who always give us assurance that we can run to them, but more often when tough times comes, they were not there for you. But,one thing is sure, even though how difficult today's life, just hold on..and be strong..)

    Hope you're just fine my friend..:)

  12. PhilO, I can't tell you how much this post is ME. I have been that girl. The same thing happened to me. Word by word. It was like I went into flashback and images came back to me.

    It was strange. That feeling you describe is something I hope no one goes through. It sucks! It's painful. :/

  13. you know i know that you will come out of it.if it is DEAD then the fact of life tells you it was ALIVE sone day and the cycle continues.
    its ok if you slipped atleast you know now that the person who promised you cannot take up responsibility and CRY_ write sad stories and poems but vent it out do not sit with it and let it plague you.
    i am all ears.. if you want to talk.. !

    keep going- or else life will force you too..!
    :)
    take care

  16. This so touched me. I don't know whether it's real of fiction, but that's exactly what I went through last night. I texted. I don't know why. And I didn't get a reply. And I frankly didn't expect this coldness.

  18. Philo,

    If writing this beautiful truth you say you can not write, then I do not know which is a bigger lie, the one he told while parting or you now. She was in fools paradise as it is very rare that partner is there for one after break up.

    Take care
