She had forgotten everything
Almost everything
I know because she didn’t reply back
Not to my mails or calls or messages
And I had also eventually moved on
With the fact scribbled in my mind
That I was not worth her
May be a bit in past but not anymore in present
And I was driving en-route office
And got a call from an unknown caller
I parked my car roadside
On receiving I heard nothing
Silence and some sobs after a while
And finally the voice I used to love once
She was all scattered at that moment
And I was too upon listening her sobs
I got out of my car and calmly asked
Her the reason for her sadness
And she was just crying loudly also
With hiccups
On insisting for long she replied
That just some moments back she
Was searching for an old gown of hers
And then she found THAT SHIRT
Which was what I had wore
When we became intimate the first time
And I asked her to keep it
And she used to wear the shirt
Everytime she missed me then
And finding that shirt made her realize
How wrong we both were and the ending
Of our story could had been different
But now everything was gone
And I know this feeling was just temporary
And thankfully she also felt the same
All she could say was that she would
Hang the shirt on the peg on the wall
Till sometime in future and
Reminisce the good ol days
I felt good that she at least contacted me
And I was back to my driver’s seat
And she again had the control over her life
And she got used to the feeling of that shirt
And it didn’t bring her those emotions back anymore
Now she knows how it felt when
I Looked at the shirt gifted by her
Which I had given to a needy
After some struggling days then !!
Smiles here & Smiles there
