All Yellow

Yellow is his favourite colour on me.
There used to be a time when he used to quote Coldplay's yellow
"You know I love you so."
Naive as I was, I believed it to be some sort of statement reserved for us.
And then as time passed, roles reversed and I was the creature that could not be desired because if I was, he would have to give up everything he was doing, and he could not afford to do that.
So he forgot me. For four whole years he sidelined me, contacting me only when he needed solace.
I wasn't the best either. I gave him the worst when I expected the best from him .
What came of it?
Tears and lack of trust.
And it was all yellow. 

Aakhir-Car (Finally)

D: I love your name! It's so unique. 

"Is it, really?" 

D: Yes, there's only two names that attract me in this world. 

"The other one is?" 

D: Laila.

"Wow. So you like my name better than Laila?"

D: Laila has a charm of her own. Yours is pretty, too.

This was back then. When all I dreaded was the presence of a Laila, and winning the competition by default.

Now all that's required from me is meaningless romanticizing and countless pictures.

I wonder what Laila would have done.
