"Why do I feel like this, why does it seem like I have been chained, my desires are restrained, why? " These are the questions I keep asking myself, yet there is no answer to this endless silent battle that I fight with myself.

There is so much to say, still, I choose to stay mum. Pain hurt and remorse has replaced where once love, joy, and happiness used to stay. I blankly stare at the walls for hours, not knowing which thoughts are playing games in my mind frame. My eyes have forgotten when they last cried, my lips too don't bother to smile, the heart beats as usual, but there is no rhythm nor any noise.

I scream and scream, and the echoes keep ringing in my head, yet not a single word is uttered in that numb despair. The thunder doesn't scare me anymore, as I have learnt to find shelter in me. I have learned to fight the storm, as I am just left with me. All the things that remind me of you, the moon, the stars, the songs, and flowers, don't matter anymore, cause this drifting apart has shaken me to the core.

Remember how we used to keep count of the days when we were going through the love phase? Everything was so surreal, so sweet and great. Our eyes had sparkled, smiles were like fine wine, with that intense love, ohh! The love is so divine. We were so in love and nothing else stood ever above us, we understood each other's desires, and valued every decision. Remember how we used to long for meeting each other. A hug used to solve every little problem, your love-filled eyes were all I needed at that time.

Can we ever find our way back to each other? Can we ever look into each other's eyes and find the same longing, immense love, and infinite passion for each other? Can we lean closer and listen to our heartbeats together? Is there a way to fix all damage that our ego has caused in this relationship? Can we ever be that happy in each other's company ever again? Do you too feel the burden of sorrow, do you wish to end this misery and turn back time to when we had first met? Numerous questions have found a home in me and answers are what I seek.

Can we stop drifting apart, and be each other once again? Can't our love fight this battle together and make us win our love back? I promise I will become a better person, I will not let you choose distance ever again. We will build a stronger home, where storms of ego and complaints would never find their way. We will shield each other from every trouble, and make special every moment and every single day. Let love be the winner and chase this drifting away.
