29. ASPERITY

"I have been thinking of you all day and night long,

My heart beats an rhythmic song,

It's killing me,

But I'll pretend to see you, to think you, to hear you; even when you are not with me"

Waqas's POV

I stare at myself in the mirror. It's not me who stares back. It's a man, a wrecked man, who lost his woman.

She should be beside him, attending parties, going on shopping, and showing me her attitude. Beside me in the morning when I leave for work. Beside me in the noon, when I would have my lunch in the hectic schedule. Beside me in the night, where I used to be all alone with my doodled thoughts.

A man without his woman is like human without clothes, he is like a mechanic who doesn't have grease paint, and he is like a cloud that doesn't rain.
