IMAGINE

Imagine

They say, “Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality.”

And here I am with my imagination declaring war against my reality, reality in which you will never be mine, I presume.

 

You see I imagine you and me together in love, not the love where you find someone to live with but the one where you find someone you can’t live without.

 

I imagine us holding hands not like only hand in hand but you holding my whole arm and we walking around the town on cold snowy winter night, I know it doesn’t snow here and I have never felt the touch of falling snow but like love I know it exists, somewhere.

 

I imagine us talking, it’s been long since I have really talked to anyone but I would like to believe our conversation is so much more than words. It is the smiles, the gentle shrugs, me crossing my fingers while you laugh with tears in your eyes hoping that are the only tears I want to see in your eyes.

 

I imagine moments with you, I imagine us sitting at the marine drive after a rainstorm you looking at the sunset, admiring how there is “no right sunset”, yet each one is beautiful than the last one. Me looking at you wondering chaos and calm never looked so beautiful together, even the sun envies the way I look at you.

 

I imagine intimacy, I imagine being in The Local Train concert with you standing there among the river of people but we can still hear each other’s heart beats and as the clock hits 11.11 the song says “choo lo jo tum mujhe jaegi jaan meri”, our foreheads touch and we kiss like our brainwaves sync. They say it takes twenty thousand events to happen contemporarily in the universe to create one moment, The irony is that, they only reached my imagination.

 

I imagine heartbreak with you not the one where you ditch me or the one where I stop loving you, it’s the one where my imagination winds up, you see they say “The power of imagination makes you infinite”, and yet I limit mine to you with infinite impossibilities.  

Maybe because,

I am in love with the impossibility of us.
