Just another one…

Here I am in a vast ocean

With millions and millions of drops like me

Some just big enough to cause ripples

And some big enough to raise waves.

My stay here won’t be long

I shall be pushed farther and beyond

Day in and day out

And simply mingle and get lost

Who shall ever see my face again?

Or count how many pearls I’ve left ashore?

I shall rise and fall again

And then simply move on.

Things I bet you didn’t know about me

1. I’m extremely choosy about stuff; I would never go to eat in a place that was called “Ramesh Retreat” even if the President of the US imported his meals from there
   
2. I dislike talking on the phone
   
3. I’m never particularly interested in giving gifts to people even on their birthdays; read my hypocrisy here, I’m a kid through & through and want to be gifted on every tiny occasion that’s special to me
   
4. If you stab me, back or front, or whenever, wherever… do not mistake my non-confrontation for quiet acquiesce… watch out for I always get back
   
5. I always want to be in control of my life… and when the reins fall out of my hands, I become a complete wreck
   
6. My soft toys are always named starting from “J”; Jadie, Jeneva & Jordan; now there’s Jellie as well (christened by my friend CD)
   
7. I’m not judgmental about people, I accept them as they are
   
8. I would never compromise on my integrity, no matter how life-threatening the situation
   
9. I live from moment to moment; I refuse to live years ahead of my present
   
10. I am a girl & I don’t mind exhibiting that fact by doing “girly” things (this ones meant for u…u-kno-who )
    
11. I’m not afraid of admitting my insecurities…even in public!
    
12. I’m incomplete without my… (ans to be filled in as a comment… I wanna kno if u really kno me..!!)

What’s stoping you?

You are there holding your lover’s hand

What’s stoping you from telling them ‘I Love You’?

You’re on the phone with your best friend

What’s stopping you from telling them ‘I Treasure You’?

You’re listening to your mom talk about her housing tips

What’s stopping you from telling her ‘I Miss You’?

In the darkest of hours you will recall them

Cherish the memories left in your mind

You will decorate your pictures and your scrapbooks

And yet you will hold back from saying it out loud

You won’t let yourself get more intimate

With the people whose presence fills your life

And yet when they are no more there

They are all you will think of.
