Midnight stars

We just escaped from the loud club. We had just celebrated your birthday there but it wasn’t your environment. Apparently you once lived a party life, but I hadn’t seen that side of yours, you had put all that behind you.

Our drunk friends took an auto.

We decided to walk it. I was sober enough, I am fucked up on the inside so I stop myself from getting drunk.

Why did I decide to walk with you that night? I don’t know. I just wanted to be close to you. I was drawn to you for some reason but I never thought I could have you..

We walked the deserted streets of Bangalore. I can’t even remember what we spoke, but I knew that the moment was special.

There was always something troubling you. I remember noticing that. Either your body or mind but both are connected, aren’t they?

We came back home to Chennai. Early in the morning, at Central, I was planning to take the local train back home as I usually do. You were planning to take an Auto.

But in your eyes I could see, you didn’t want me to go. You wanted me to come with you. I did.

Why?

Namba apdiye irindhirkalam la? (Tamil: “We could’ve just remained the same right?”)

Why did I want more? Why did we want more?
