Sand and Stone

Image
By
Two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand:
“TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.”
They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one, who had been slapped, got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After the friend recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone:
“TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.”
The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?”
The other friend replied: “When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.”

The Night You Disappeared

By
We met by chance, not looking, not planning, Two souls drifting, somehow landing. A match, a spark, a quiet kind of glow, A vibe we didn’t force, it just began to grow. That one long night, we talked till light, No masks, no filters, it all felt right. Laughter in the pauses, truth in every line, For a moment, it felt like you were already mine. But just like that... you slipped away, No warning, no reason, not a word to say. You disappeared into silence, left me in the blue, And I’m still here, wondering what happened to you. I don’t blame you. Maybe life pulled you fast, Or maybe we were a flame not meant to last. Still, I replay those hours in my head, Every word, every laugh, every little thing you said. Like truth or dare. I miss you, not just your name on my screen, But the way your presence made everything feel serene. It’s strange, how someone so briefly known Can leave behind an ache so deeply grown. But I carry no anger, only this quiet ache, A gentle hope that time can’t bre...

I'm Sorry, I can't live with out you.

With every breath, I miss you so,  A broken heart, with love to show. Your absence, a storm that won't end, In shadows deep, where my sorrows blend. I remember that night we hid on the roof,   Long hangouts on the stairs, hidden from truth.   The first time I saw you, a vision so bright,   We skipped through our days, chasing the light. We bunked our classes for amusement park rides,   Where laughter and joy were the only guides.   In private tuitions, our eyes would meet,   In class parties, your jealousy made my heart beat. I’d walk behind you, to school, every day,   Following closely, not a word to say.   Your mother beside you, I stayed out of sight,   But my heart was yours, from morning to night. We strolled by the sea, danced in the rain,   In taxis and whispers, where love knew no pain.   But those days have faded, where did they go?   We lost...

Whenever I’m alone

By
Whenever I’m alone, u always come to me & take me in ur arms, whenever I’m alone. I always hear ur voice, whispering in my ears Those words which u tell me, “I care 4 u dear” Whenever I’m alone, & lost in the darkness of this world U r always there 2 hold my hands & lead my way. Whenever I’m alone, I always feel u sitting beside me holding me loving & saying “I’m always ur’s”
