Isn’t it irony when some people give a grand entrance into your life and make your subconscious mind interpret and store the fact that they are always there when you are in need of someone?
This fact then drives you to be a little more attached to them than you would normally do. At such a vulnerable state, you tend to like each and everything they portray to you. No, this is not love.
This is just having someone who fills the emptiness in your blank space. Just then, Taylor Swift’s ‘Blank Space’ concretes your assumption as the song plays in your mind.
You spend more than usual time texting them. You make space to be out with them and allow them to dive in to the little secrets of your life. “Nah, I’m just letting out to someone who is willing to listen”.
You flirt a little as you think you have been alone so far and a little naughtiness will not drown you to anywhere you do not wish to belong. Then, comes that feeling where you are dumbfounded as you stare into his eyes. You do not want to stop but at the same time you do not know where this is going.” So, will it end right after I walk out this door?” You let yourself to be more optimistic and wash down that thought.
Apparently, everything sails like there’s no waves in the sea. Then a voice whispers “Are you in love?”
You get startled and deny all the voices. You cannot be. He has made it clear he wants no strings attached. Then, you begin to truce with the voice and sit with it asking “Then, what does all this mean?” The voice turns dormant. Silence.
You do not want to make this friendship complicated but you cannot look at him like you don’t feel a thing. You decide to close your eyes and let loose. As you open your eyes, you find him staring deep into yours and you put up that smile you have always had.
Like nothing ever happened.
