The story of Me and You!

You came the other day and said that you want me to return whatever I have given it to you. I said you cannot but you challenged. I cannot confront back but neither can I deny your request.


Here is the list. Some of them I have to give, some you and some collectively we need to have them back.


The first time I saw you, I was awe struck and mesmerized. To date I don’t get that feeling when I see someone else, please return me that feel.


On the lanes of London you said that you love the royal palace and we went there. Your curiosity is still hovering in Buckingham palace. I want you to take back that curiosity that makes London so special.


In the streets of Paris you told me about your love for perfumes. The shop that we visited and the perfumes you tested. The fragrance of those test runs are still in the air of those shops. They wait to go back with you.


In Murree you got excited by snow and made snow balls and threw at me. Those flakes are still stuck in the moment. I want you to get them out of their limelight.


In Sydney on New Year ’s Eve you were super excited. We celebrated the arrival of the new millennium together at the Sydney Harbor. You lit extinguishers and fireworks. It’s been 11 years and I never had a new year since then. I want you to return me my new year.


In Los Angeles we went to the theater to watch that crappy horror movie. I had shivers down my spine while you laughed it off. To date your laughs and my shivers remain there. I want you to take them back to their deserved place.


In South Africa your love for islands took us to Capetown. I never saw you that excited in my life. Your excitement is still the talk of Capetown. I want you to take the excitement back from the city.


For a long time your bedtime calls were only highlight of my time till you said that you don’t longer want to talk me. I have not slept with peace since the day you abandoned them. I want you to give me back my sleep.


On that October night in Islamabad you looked into my eyes and said is this a dream? I said no and gave you my dreams. From that day and onwards my dreams are with you. I want you to give me back my share of dreams.


In Lahore soon after our kaboolhai, kabool hai you hugged me. Your warmth gave me comfort in that chilly evening. That warmth is still with me, I want to return it to you.


On the cold morning in Moscow you got fascinated by seeing smoke coming out with every breath that you took. That smoke of your breath is still Moscows most prized possession. I want you to take back that gift from them.


Sitting in dunkin donuts, Karachi your lipstick got struck to the coffee mug. That impression is still there. I want you to take it back.



On my birthday we went to the beach in Dubai and walked miles on that sunny May afternoon. Despite numerous waves passing over our footsteps they refused to wash away. I want you to take those magical steps back from Dubai which I believe is the reason of some many people getting excited to that crazy dessert.


The day we parted you slapped me. I was teary eyed and vowed never to smile back again. To date I have not smiled. I want you to give me back my smile.


The last time we met you asked me to get out of your life forever and never to return. I ported out but my heart refused to follow me. I want you to return me my heart.


I am not sure if you can give me what I want or take what I want to give. I never requested you anything but this is my first and only request to you.


 In all these moments with you I did not realize that I never had a life and it was your presence that meant a life to me. I just request you to give me back my life please!



Luv!

Aaich!!!
