Memories...

There was a time
I was everything and nothing all in one
When you found me
I was feeling like a cloud across the sun
I need to tell youHow you light up every second of the day
But in the moonlight
You just shine like a beacon on the bay

And I cant explain
But its something about the way you look tonight
Takes my breath away
Its that feeling I get about you, deep inside

And I cant describe
But its something about the way you look tonight
Takes my breath away
The way you look tonight…

I was going through my old song collection when I came across this song… I am not so much of an “Elton John” song type person but this song made me think of a very dear person… after a long time and for a very long time…The song was playing on the radio and he started singing along….He sang it to me with his super animated expressions; he then pulled me off to do a little dance… he danced on his toes in a bid to look a lil taller than me J (how cute!!!). I was dressed in the worst outfit ever, my hair was messy, I was grumpy n annoyed… It made me feel beautiful in spite of it all. It dint matter how badly he sang or how much we sucked at dancing, it was a perfectly romantic moment is all I know and some thing that will always make me smile. I started thinking bout all the things back then: the first date, the silly fights, the time when we were caught at the movies by my bro (yes dat happened!), the cute nicks, sweet nothings, cheap gifts, never-ending phone calls, issues, more fights, misunderstandings, making up\out, roses and “The Breakup”… it all came back to me like a flashback from a bollywood movie. I began thinking of him, which part of the world he was in now, what was he doin… more than that I wondered if he thought of me at all!

The song kept playing in my head bringing back more memories… just then my phone rang with a weird number displaying on it. I thought it must be a wrong no. or a call from my secret admirer in Saudi, to my surprise it was him! The same excitement in his voice, the same Joey style how u doin ? The same questions and concerns. I thought I was dreaming! It felt so good to talk to him after such a long time; I just realized what all I had been missing. It was amazing how we picked up from we had left it off, it was just like the old days…. Perfect in everyway! I was so happy that he did think of me once in while J. His thought lingered on even hrs after the conversation along with a realization that he was not “mine” anymore. I missed him, or maybe I just missed having someone… I played that song one more time… just that this time there was no one singing it to me… no one dancing with me…it was just me alone with my memories…
