If Only You Would Have Been There:

Prasuma Magarati (With my flaws)

When the world was cruel and my own thoughts were my enemies, I would have tackled gracefully if only you would have been there, holding my hands. When my body shakes in the midst of crowd and I unconsciously search you, I would have been stronger. When I smile in front of the world and I miss your calls at night, I wish I could have said you : I wanna hear you. I belong somewhere where I don’t know the meaning of belongingness. I am fond of you and I wanna be fond of you, but till when? I am where I ain’t. Where the chapter starts, our story is no-where. My emotions have been punishing you and me. My voice don’t have the power to say I want you, may be I fear to lose you. But what if I already have? When I feel like crying among the voices of people I hear someone saying, you need to be strong. The feeling of meeting you again, the wish of you smiling with me, I wonder why do everyone leave? I am there, where you don’t wanna see. I belong somewhere, which is not your path. The meet was uncertain, yet the story had a different morale. We talked, shared emotions yet you kept feeling you were beyond the race. When did I stop blushing I don’t know. When the nights started feeling scary — I don’t remember. If only you would have been there, the story would have been different. I was with you not against you. The team where you were.
