A boy who had never talked to a girl,

even afraid of looking at one,

Who would change his way when a girl passed by,

can't hold eye contact,

His world was from the bed to the door of his room

On one depressed day,

A girl entered through that door,

behind the flickering phone screen in the form of light making his world bright.

They talked and talked

He was such a naive

Nervous, anxious, baffled

Began to forget the spellings

She read his mind, made him comfortable

He continued to chat,

opened his life like a book to her,

Sharing his life goals, likes, dislikes, fears, everything.

She would listen to all his concerns without judging,

Slowly, she became the cornerstone of his castle of happiness.

That quiet boy who was never chosen,

never been the first priority in anyone's life

Being asked by someone

"how are you" meant everything to him

He was still confused,

"What is going on"

"Do I know her properly"

If not,

"Why do I feel comfortable sharing my deepest thoughts with her"

" Is it love"

Or " I have become overwhelmed"

Suddenly a storm came, so strong the castle could not bear,

No messages

No replies

His little world shattered,

Felt like a big rock on his heart

Did not sleep, eat, restless, anxious

Colours began to fade away from his imagination

Checked her chats every minute

Hoping she might have replied

Consoling himself, saying

" She might be busy"

"Recharge must be exhausted"

"Might be ill"

"Lost the phone"

Or, gone somewhere to travel.

Days passed,

She did not return

Acknowledging this one night

He held the pillow tight

And cried, cried a lot

Whispered quietly to the pillow

"Don't I deserve anyone"

What was his fault?

Getting attached ?

isn't attachment common to humans?

We get attached to non living things,

Car, bike, pen, even a pillow

She was still a human

Why did she talk if she had to ghost

Did I ask her to do this ?

Ohh no

It was I who got attached

It was me being delusional

Weaving stories, imagining scenarios

It was me

It was all my fault.
