Mirror

-
Mel stared at her reflection on a dusty bus window.
She started smiling. You could tell by just looking at her eyes.
For the first time ever her gaze was cloudy.
She was looking at something through the window as trees and cars zipped past her on the highway.
She did not bother to fix her hair, apply lip gloss, or even study her own features. 
Dismissed the idea of drawing smiley faces on it with her breath.
All of a sudden she froze in that position.
The butterflies in her stomach. The way they flutter inside her. She felt like a feather.
She wanted them to go away as much as this amazing feeling to stay alive.
Awe-struck. How can this happen even in his absence?

The next second, the song on her iPod switched to 'Mirrors' by Justin Timberlake.
The feeling intensified.
She heard this song a million times before but only now it makes perfect sense.
Still, she wanted to shake it away. So, she triple-checked.
Listened to the entire song...
1. Staring at her reflection. 
2. Closing her eyes and formed a mental picture of him. 
3. Scanning the lyrics while the song was playing. 
It's the same! Surreal.
She was neither in a music video nor in a movie.
His familiarity and mystery to her. Her familiarity and mystery to him.
Zillion questions crossed her mind.
What if? What if?...
Nevermind.

    It's like I'm in a mirror
    The mirror's staring back at me

    People think it's a song. Truth is, it's a horror story. That guy is trapped by the devil inside a mirror and the devil is staring at him so that it doesn't lose track of him.

    Btw that guy is dead now, coz people thought it was a beautiful song. Nobody could read between the lines. Rip.

Too late

Wish I could tell you how much I like you How can you not see it in my eyes How can my presence not hypnotize you Why are you too distracted I need your eyes only on me  Your wordplay and laugh is adorable  I want to stay next to you all day and all night   It hurts to know that I’m not on your mind It kills me inside that I’m not your first choice Wish you could notice that our connection is real Wish you could understand that life is better when it’s the two of us together Our energy is magnetic even if it’s momentary  There are no struggles in the world when we snuggle I cannot stop thinking about texting you You make me feel like I’m home  Is this comfort a camouflage of your flaws How can you compare me to someone else when I was right there in your arms I rather handle the truth than a sugarcoated lie Please don’t make this harder I thought of waiting a thousand years for you to be mine But you were willing to let me go in just five days I don’t want ...

This is for my future self. To the moon child who's reminiscing about all the cancelled plans, torn ticket stubs, hiding from the storms, waiting nervously at the train station to finally try break free from my restricted freedom. The irony is that I work every single day to help build portals for people to travel, but never did I ever get a chance to take a decent vacation. A sweet soul who's overworked, overstressed, and overwhelmed all the time. I just want to feel alive, marvel at life around me by getting lost in the hustle n' bustle of the city to only find myself. Not even my sub-conscious mind is aware of the fact of how much I earn for this more than my favorite activities such as dancing, painting, reading, and listening to music. The universe has a funny way of cancelling my plans. I thought the 7th time was the charm, guess not. It breaks my heart to unpack my bags still sitting on my bedroom floor, when I spent more than a week planning my every move in the cit...
