I had my gaze stretched somewhere far away where two distinctions met. The world knew they were some poles which are meant to be apart but as the dusk set in it felt like they yearn all day since the dawn just to meet each other as the sun sets by far behind in the western sky. It seems like the sun waits to meet the sea each day and as the day passes by it moves a bit by bit closer towards it. I craved for him in the same way since the past one year but maybe I was not that lucky like the sun...
I watched the mellow sky turning to grey, the weather was changing and so was my mood as I turned back to leave when my phone started distracting me from my messy thoughts hovering in my mind...
"Hello..." I answered...
"It's me...Shrey...."
His voice quivered as my heartbeats started to run errands in just that little moment which passed by. I was in a lack of words as I waited for him to speak. I wish he knew how I craved to hear him since all these time...
"How are you?" he asked in his monotonic voice.
He never fails to amuse me. I wish he was at least a bit expressive when it comes to emotions. I never was able to know his heart...he was always this way. His mute emotions never spoke anything to me...
"I am fine....how come you have called after so long?" I asked him...
"Can we meet?" he said...
I wanted to scream out that yes that's what I've been waiting for but somehow didn't as I answered...
"Sure...where?"
"Where we parted..."
The call disconnected. I didn't try calling him back. He was weird this time once again....but somehow I was still in love with him....yet again....
I looked back at the offing. The waters shined under the lights reflected over them. I heaved in a deep suspiration as I closed my eyes and watched the waters run off my feet. I will wait.....wait for him again this time.... I said to myself before leaving...

The next day was something which was either going to mend something or tear up those infinite smithereens into much smaller pieces that I won't even remember their existence. It was 4pm on a wintry evening when I ran towards the place which took me my everything but, today I knew that this is a chance to grab no matter what. I waited there as he came as the sun was about to set....
He passed his million dollar smile as I smiled back. I wondered why this face is still so familiar to me even though it crushed down my love just like crumbled paper over the concrete pathways where no one cared about it.
"Hi..." he said as i looked at him. His eyes still had the philter which made me drown in his love yet again...
I was like that old 16 year teen who was madly into this guy who was the one to reject all those emotions that I have treasured since the time i knew what love is.
"Hi..." I said bringing myself back to the present scenerio...
"How have you been?" he asked...
I smiled as I looked towards the sea. The sun was still happy to get itself hide amidst the sea.
"Can you see that sun?" i asked fixing my gaze at the offing...
"Yeah...why?" he asked...
I smiled and answered.....
"I was that sun...who burnt in love.."
He looked at me with a frozen gaze....I turned to him this time. Our eyes interlocked with each other. Mine spoke a million words in just that gaze while he like always showed me his mute emotions. I couldnt understand them still when it had been quite a long time I was used to them...
"The sun....and that sea....both belong to two very different worlds...yet the sun yearns for the sea everyday, as the day ends the sea embraces it in its hold and thats how it distinguishes with its fire extinguished under the tender love of the sea. The sun knows well that getting itself trapped amidst the sea will cause him to ruin itself...yet it always moves down at dusk....do you know why? Because of its infinite love for the sea....it was that way for me....even though you were nocent for me....my heart craved for you everyday. I too wanted to lose myself while being in your arms....but i guess the sun is more luckier than me..." I said staring at the sea....
The sun was on his way to hide amidst the cold embrace of the sea....I too wished for the same as a tear trickled down from my cheeks while i felt his thumb wiping it away...
I looked at him this time.....I was surprised that his eyes were showing me some emotions which he had veiled since a long time from me....I wished him to show even more...I craved for it...
"I do not know what made you a writer in my love that such things cross your mind,I am lucky somehow that I am always living in your words......I also do not know how perfectly who show case your emotions in front of me....all bare....but I can tell you something which for sure you can understand....I love you..."
He uttered those words as I stared at him...he cupped my face pulling me closer as he whispered against my lips...
"Its nice to be in love with a writer"
I smiled as our lips brushed against each other while we ended up locking our sweet moment with the tender touch of love....it was finally the rise of DAWN......at.......DUSK....
