in loving memory of

I can feel you looking down, on me, from above.

The feeling is indescribable and sometimes it helps me move on, but sometimes it just holds me back. Though my memory of you is short and blur, i can still see your face and the heart whelming smile on it.

I always wonder if life would be different with you around and though i know it would be better, i also realize your still here, with me..in me.

I'm a mirror image of you, some people say, and the joy I get from these words is nothing compared to anything in this world.

Stories of you, of you with me, bring tears to my eyes but I could listen to them over and over again, endless number of times.

If i had the power to go back in time and change anything i didn't like, i would go back to that day, and just erase it from all of our lives.

I hope i had the chance to be affected by you. I wish i had a few more years with you...

You're my only role model and will always be.

You're my guardian angel and i miss you everyday...

I look at you everynight, the brightest star, way up in the skies.

You're the most beautiful woman people have seen and Ma I love you with all my heart.

Part 4- THE END

A New Life is what he thought he had when Aaron tried jumping off his balcony and landed in a truck carrying cotton!
He thought this was the sign and that he needed to move on...He took a while off for himself and found himself a great advertising job-something he'd always wanted.
Well life was finally moving ahead...Aaron moved to a new city and started work immediately and did everything he could to keep his mind off Arlette.
He even found himself a girlfriend- a girl at work who was unbelievably quite most of the time.
Aaron was happy...he was glad he wasn't living in the past anymore.

A year passed and Aaron was completely committed to his new girlfriend and was planning to take her out for the holidays, where he was going to ask her to marry him...
Both of them had decided on going to the Maldives for a week and they were to leave the next morning.
It was 7:00 am the next morning and Aaron had gotten up early to pick Ashley( his girlfriend), and take her to the airport.
He stepped gaily onto the street- a huge smile on his face- thinking of Ashley and his future life with her.
Just then...
He got hit by a speeding truck carrying cotton...

Part 3

Months passed by and Aaron seemed to be taking the break-up a little too hard while Arlette was moving on... she knew she had no other choice...
Arlette started seeing Neil- one of her customers at the tattoo parlor. He was cute, funny and made her feel butterflies in her stomach every time he was around!! He was someone she'd always waited for...
Aaron- on the other side of the world- tried getting in touch with Arlette a few times but in vain...
When he finally realized nothing could be done, he didn't know what to do...where to go...

Part 2

So Aaron was heartbroken but soon realized the artsy guy wasn't Arlettes boyfriend but just a guy she wanted Aaron to meet so he can display his artwork. 'Phew..i guess i still stand a chance!', he thought as he took a sip of his beer.

Anyway life went on for Arlette and Aaron. She bought him gifts once in a while and he bought her roses to compensate!
Finally 3 months later Arlette decided she couldn't wait any longer and asked Aaron out.
They made an extremely cute couple. Little odd but cute...
Aaron started an art gallery and people loved his work- His paintings sold like hot cakes(yummy chocolate ones)!! Arlettes tattoo parlor was doing equally well and her body was now almost covered with tattoos! Aaron surprisingly managed to get a few more tattoos and his voice seemed to get screechier as he got older!!(trust me Janice and the nanny sounded better compared to him)


3 years passed and Aaron was still very much in love with Arlette who was now planning on moving to Australia... They didn't meet very often before she left, in fact they hardly even got to talk to each other.
On her last day in India, Arlette messaged Aaron while she was at the airport to tell him she was leaving...
He rushed to the airport to meet her but it was too late...
His world seemed to turn over on its head as he stood outside all alone holding a painting he had made for her- a painting of her and him...

pins n needles

Characters:Aaron-the main guy..no wait..gal..no guy..well i can't really decide.
Arlette-the 'pretty hot- timid looking -taking charge- tattoo artist'
N me-the passerby co-incidentally ending up everywhere Aaron goes. And I'm also apparently psychic cuz i can read his mind!

Aaron walked in one Sunday afternoon thinking about how cool people would think he was after he got his 'trippy' tattoo..."ooh i love guys with tattoos..do you wanna get a drink?", he imagined girls telling him. He was expecting a big, well built tattoo artist but found a timid looking girl sitting there instead.
Her half-tattoo covered body made him feel like an idiot and he was just looked forward to getting this over with.
"Well come on in", she said. "my name's Arlette and I'm gonna be tattooing you today".
He handed her the design he had made himself and sat down. He didn't really say much...
"Wow, that's really nice..do you want to check out the similar ones i have?" she asked.
"Thank you...it's just something i sketched when i was tripping(one would think he was just telling her that to make her know he was cool too and that her her half-tattoo covered body didn't intimidate him)...and i would love to see what you've got"
They spent the next half hour talking bout her tattoos and how he wasn't scared at all about getting this tattoo-his very first one.
"So can we get started now?", she asked enthusiastically while he tried hard to seem calm.
In an hour she was done with half of it and with each passing minute Aarons screeching got louder and higher pitched. Most people would think a girl was getting molested in there for sure!
(He was just glad he could keep himself from fainting!)
When he was just beginning to think it was over, she told him he had to come back another day for the colouring.
"F*** my stars", he thought. "Now the pretty hot tattoo-artist thinks i'm a pussy and i'll have to go through another embarrassing session!"
She continued acting like nothing had happened and he didn't quiet understand if she was being really kind or if she was totally deaf!!
Anyway he went back a few days later -wondering if he could tape his mouth to keep himself from screaming- and finally finished getting his tattoo which i must say looked quite impressive(not quite impressive enough to make me ask him out for drinks though!).
Like any other cliché love story days passed by and he kept thinking about going back and asking her out for coffee but she called him up instead and asked him to go have drinks with her.
Makes you realize who's going to wear the pants in this relationship if it works out huh?
So she decided the place and day- which was quite expected- and aaron arrived early and was contemplating buying her flowers but thankfully didn't and saved himself from being perceived as gay!
Arlette walked in a half hour late with a guy who seemed rather artsy leaving aaron heartbroken...

Well i'm going to leave you'll with this for now as i plan the ultimate ending...
so for now -to be continued..

Let Go..

"I don't wanna miss a thing",
"A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way.
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way."
"It's not always rainbows and butterflies, it's compromise that moves us along.."

Still waiting...still listening to all the songs that meant something to us..still hoping you'll call me up sometimes...still wondering if you remember the small details that i do..and still wishing you'll call me up one day and tell me that you want me back..
I never want to see you unhappy..i thought you'd want the same for me..
I thought all the fighting and yelling would get me somewhere..
I wanted to show you how happy i was without you but i can't seem to wake up in the morning without you on my mind...
People tell me i don't try hard enough to make my relationships work..maybe i don't want to..maybe i just know where i want to end up..
I'm sure you're doing just fine..
All i wanted was for you to feel the way i did..
Maybe you didn't want to..
Maybe its time i let go...

black velvet trees

I set out to climb the hill and reach the castle.. Through the forest that was magical in the daylight.

As i climbed higher, it got darker.. I thought about a lot of things to keep my mind off the scary trees that bent down and blocked the light..
I could hear bats screeching, i could hear wolfs howling...
I quickened my pace and started to run..

Suddenly, i tripped on a stone and went tumbling down.. down through the forest that screeched and howled..

My head was throbbing with pain and my legs were bruised..bleeding. I tried getting myself up but in vain.
The massive trees cut off the moonlight, so it took me a while to get used to my surroundings.
I moved my hands about the ground, it felt wet...I tried crawling myself to safety.
"HELP", i screamed, hoping someone would hear me.
I could hear nothing...

The silence sent shivers down my spine.

When my throat was sore from all the screaming, i heard footsteps...

They grew louder...

A ray of hope was just emerging when I looked up to spot a man with an axe!

Right then, I wondered if the black velvet trees were safer...
