The Shelf Life of Feelings

Chapter 1: Make me whole again

I lay there on my bed, It’s a sweet dark night falling silently over me.

The silence growing too loud and I felt my body pressed softly over the mattress.

And yet, I couldn’t sleep. All this numbness in my heart simply couldn’t make my body numb enough to make me fall in the warm clutches of sleep.

Finally giving up I got up from my bed and got my laptop.

Nothing to do…… and yet I am sitting there fully awake just to kill time.
Going over my social media profiles my heart suddenly skipped a beat.

It’s HIM. Yes, definitely him. I will never forget that bitter name that once sounded so sweet on my tongue. Brandon Steel.

The man I used to love, or well a boy you can say.

I never really understood at what particular age did people grow up from a boy to man or well from girl to woman, maybe I am deluded but what I feel like is, maybe people never transit into the next stage; They evolve into it.

As in there is no clear age bar where a child transits into an adult. People just evolve and learn I guess and some of them never really grow up no matter what age they are.

Brandon or Brad, as people usually call him, was my lover till just a few days ago (Or well it feels like a million years ago, though that sucker doesn’t look a day older) until I found out that his feelings for me had died out. (Run of the shelf life )

Or that they never existed in the first place (which my love struck ass never wanted to admit, but in the end had to).
I shut the lid of my laptop in anger or in remorse I still couldn't comprehend.

Laying down on the bed I decided that it was over, as I felt tears running down my eyes.
Slowly drifting off to sleep, I felt safe, not knowing that fate had some utterly life-changing plans for me.

To be continued………..
