How Strange it is?

Info

How strange it is?

A place where thousands of people gather, where you can see lot unfamiliar faces smiling, similar sounds resembling your life! But still, that takes you to the past, leaving the present, to the journey that had ended long back. How can a place reconnect you with the incidence that once made you happy and today? Just confused!

How strange it is right? A flashback, like a movie playing behind the scene, you as the audience, can just watch, and you being the character, are experiencing a strange feeling that is beyond your control. Striving to get back where you are, fighting with the strings attached to the memories where you want to be again.

How strange it is?

You can’t feel anything for the time but still, you are living the era that is gone, along with the person with whom you shared those implausible moments. You can feel nothing except the smell of his presence, hear nothing but his voice and see nothing but his shadow everywhere. It’s you and the reminiscences you carry in your heart and no one else.

How strange it is?

You smile, you laugh, you cry to be there again with everything that once existed and today, it is lost under the pile of time. Nothing has changed, it’s the same place, it’s the same as you, and the air feels the same. Nothing has changed after so long. Someone there at your place laughing the same laughter you had that day, the same blush you were wearing, the same love you had. The only one who is missing is he, and yes somewhere you too.

How strange it is?

You had him then, and today you have nothing. He stood beside you and today you can’t even find your shadow. The only thing you can feel around you id the cold lethal air, crossing you, tangling your hair, confusing the surrounding again with that unforgettable fragrance. And suddenly you hear a voice quite familiar voice but not his. He is not here.

How strange it is?

A person, not even a person, his memories took you and left you somewhere in the middle, confused and baffled. He, unaware about what you are feeling for now, and you helpless, left with no option but to just smile and move ahead.
