“I’ll come to thy by moonlight, though hell should bar the way” take this one for a promise, I still remember the wide opened eyes of that teen school kid on hearing his English mam’ reciting this lines with all its feel and emotions. To be very frank I should say, still after completing the first quarter of the lap before me, those lines still remain as the lone meant promise that I have ever heard. Though the highwayman failed to keep his word…he meant it…so I still say “TAKE THAT FOR A PROMISE”.
A lot was happening over the two cups of coffee before us…uff!!…not an exact coffee…some mutated form of it…to be very specific…a coffee with a tint of unidentifiable weirdness (SORRY CCD!!, THAT’S EXACTLY HOW I FEEL)...but who cares about the drink on hand when u are at a ccd…it is the moments…and I was living it!!
Talks…rubbing off that polished finish…blabber would be a better word to choose…hours of non-stop useless talks…a long list of “we will……” and “I will…..” sweet little scraps of ideas was getting scripted every second…and I was the silent smiling listener for hours, every moment she throws something at me…and it get sprayed all over my face “BLUSH”!!...a word that I learned very recently!! I recall the statement that I said to one of my friend “now I know the difference between a blush and a smile” J
Whenever words tickle my blush cells…i look down at the cup in hand…and the brown heart that’s doodled over my coffee…staring at it until I get back to normal attitudy tone…
I was loving it…her crazy ideas…her loose curly locks (look much better than the art work on my coffee)…her careless face with that proud “NO MAKKE UP” tag…those weird gesture…everything of it!!
And of the moment…I couldn’t resist it…the black glossy beaded rosary which was wound around my wrist was no longer there…it got sandwiched between two palms…obviously the lower one was not mine…and I was promising!!
a promise…not sure whether she wanted it…nor I can really do it…but I meant one thing…I wanted it!!...so I did…yet another of those long list of promises I stamped over years…most of them still remain unturned..untouched…but I really want this to be different…as this was my promise to me…the first one!!!
