Intersection

It had been inevitable, right from the beginning.
This was where they had parted; this had to be the place they'd meet again.
She had always known this would happen, and yet she wasn't prepared to face him. Not now, not ever.

Hadn't she known that lines that parted would always converge somewhere, that there would always be one intersection?  

Caught up in the rush of emotions, she tried to breathe. Somehow she had to believe that he would remember her. She watched him from across the room. Age hadn't been cruel to him. He looked just as handsome as she'd thought he would be. He wasn't alone though, her mind reluctantly acknowledged. A beautiful woman sat by his side, holding his hand as she talked to him silently. Probably his wife, she thought with a pang of jealousy. Of course, he had a wife and children; she'd known that for years and the strange envy she felt surprised her.

She took a step towards where he was, oblivious of the hustle-bustle and the people moving about with their usual business around her. Just as she reached the door, she panicked. This was where he had abandoned her. But she forgave him now, letting go of the hurt. What in the world would she say to him? Feeling enervated at the continuous battle between her mind and her heart, she thought for a moment that this was her choice. She could turn back, evade this situation, never to return again, do the same thing he had done to her once, and she almost gave in. But as her eyes fell on his face again, she knew this was now or never. She may never get a chance to see him again, and she knew she couldn't live with that. She gathered up all the courage she could muster and entered the little room and faced him. Even in his state of immobility, he sensed something. She could tell by the flicker of his eyes, the sharp intake of his ragged breath. From the confinements of his hospital bed, he stared at her. There were things he recognized, she knew. The dark chestnut-brown hair, the sharp nose, the cleft in her chin, all belonged to the woman he'd once loved but, unmistakably, the eyes he looked into were his own, so was the hesitant but warm dimpled smile she offered. She took another step forward, ending the space between them that had been left open by him thirty years ago, when he'd left her in another hospital bed in her mother's arms. He tried to say something, but she knew he was overwhelmed, just as she was. Taking his hand in hers, she whispered gently what she'd been dying to say for years, "Daddy".
Everything that rises must converge.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

 ...................................................................................................................................................................
I didn't have any idea what I was writing when I started this. All I knew was that it had something to do with intersection, and suddenly it shaped itself into what you just read now. I've always felt there's something complete, something whole about the way rays of light converge, as if, something that had been broken ages ago is getting fixed, as if it's healing. All  over the world people come at cross roads every day, they turn different ways, they take a wrong turn, move in a different direction...some day definitely, the two different paths meet somewhere and that's when the convalescence, the forgiveness and acceptance begin.

The pictures are from my angel, Google! ;)
 Maybe, I'll be on a break now because of my exams....but then again, who knows what goes on in the mind of a young lonely soul like me, I might just feel the urge to write a few lines :p

Aurora...55Fiction#5


With rosy fingers dropping dew, 

In red and blue, you enchant me

Spreading hope amongst man and beast,

In a chariot, rising out of the sea


Your golden tresses wild and free,

A rainbow of scintillant colors and light 

Leaving a trail of fire in the sky,

Each day you bring, a dawn so bright

...................................................................................................................................................................
Aurora means the first light of the day. I'm really fascinated by ancient Greek mythology and after I read in my dictionary (yeah, really!) about Aurora, the Goddess of dawn in Roman mythology who's the counterpart of the Greek Goddess, Eos, I could just imagine her all fiery and beautiful, coming out of the ocean in her winged chariot with all these colors surrounding her, just like it happens when dawn breaks and then I just wrote this down...When I searched for pics, I realized my imagination was almost accurate! :)

That beautiful first pic is of an “Aurora Borealis”, a luminous meteoric phenomenon named after the very same Roman Goddess of dawn (Aurora) and the Greek word for the north wind (Boreas). It's like a piece of art in the sky, or so I've heard.

Pic courtesy: The first of Aurora Borealis was taken from http://artsonearth.com/tag/natural, the second and third of Aurora are gifts from Google ;)

Hope you guys liked it :)
Goodnight!

Moments


Beauty, I see, as you run, 
                     Hair wild, arms open, bare feet
From the cool sand, into the cold water,
                     And the morning waves, you greet

Music, I hear as you laugh,
                   Mischievous, childlike, and innocent
Cheeks flushed with a rosy hue,
                   Which the morning air lent

A waltz, I imagine, you dance,
                  Graceful and elegant, each move
And the waves surge around you,
                  As if to a silent melody, they groove

Freedom, I experience, through you,
                  Arms thrown open, head held high
Ready to embrace the whole world,
                  Like the seagulls we see, free to fly

Dreamy, I feel, as you move again,
                 Winking, your full lips curve into a smile
As steps towards me you slowly take,
                 With fervor, ardor, I'm overwhelmed for a while

Love, I understand, as you take my hand,
                 Into my eyes you stare, awe and wonder
My fingers brush your cheek softly,
                In that moment, my soul, to you I surrender

Perfection, I experience, with you in my arms,
                Time stops, only heartbeats heard, no other sound
Together, we watch the sun rise over the ocean
                Life, in you, its meaning, I found

...................................................................................................................................................................
Life's meaning...sometimes you find it in those few perfect moments just looking at someone you love.  
Just a little something I penned down a while ago...hope you guys like it.
I'll be back soon, I promise :)

Following Him Around!

Well, remember the little girl I've been telling you about, lately? She has one more very important person in her life...

Wearing a pretty little frock,
A red ribbon in her hair
The little one peddled away,
On her little bicycle, looking everywhere

She was sure he'd gone that way,
She'd seen him leave before
She'd asked him to wait for her,
But he had just run out the door

He'd left with his friends,
To her, they looked big and wise
She was just a little kid,
Just not one of the guys

Still she was determined to find him
She had no one else to go to
Who else would play with her?
No one, she thought, knowing it was true

Ringing her little bell,
She crossed over to another street,
Not seeing a big stone, she tripped
And got a big scratch on her feet

Big fat teardrops rolled down her cheek
As she saw a tear on her favorite dress
Her hands were scraped, so were her knees
Dirt and dust everywhere, she was a mess

She got up again slowly,
Picked up her cycle and walked
Sniffling but trying to be a big girl,
Still a little bit shocked

She reached the playground finally,
And breathed out in relief
There he was, with his friends
Now, he'd take away her grief

And he turned around,
As she called out his name
But his smile turned into a frown
And angry he became

And she got scared
As he walked towards her,
How annoyed he was the last time,
Now she seemed to remember

He seemed a bit embarrassed,
And roughly told her to go away
He didn't give her a chance to speak
He said he had to go back to play

As he started to turn away,
He noticed something on her knee
Her face red and swollen
The little frock torn and dusty

He felt a tinge of worry and shame,
And stopped down to see her properly,
With a finger, he brought her chin up
She was hurt, now he could see

He felt his heart twist painfully,
Because it hadn't been her fall alone
That had caused all the hurt
But a mistake of his own

He took her little hand in his,
And kissed her on the cheek
He told her, "I'm sorry kiddo"
And then started to speak


"You can play with me,
Any and every time you say"
"I'll teach you everything I know,
You'll be a pro one day"

As she smiled a little at that,
His game and friends, he forgot
And they started walking home
Like a big brother he thought

Never run ahead to leave her behind,
He'd always catch her if she fell
Just as she was to their parents,
She was his baby, as well

He'd scare her with spooky stories,
But then calm her down after a while
He'd fight with her like anything
Then make her laugh and smile

He'd be there for her each day,
He'd be her best friend
He'd give her advice without preaching
With her, he'd never pretend

While crossing the same street where she'd fallen,
The little girl had a thought of her own
She could follow her big brother around now
And she turned to whisper a thank you to the stone

...................................................................................................................................................................
This one was for my big brother's birthday on the 25th of October! <3

Monsters Under My Bed

The little girl cried in her sleep,
And woke up with a start
She got down from her bed,
Clutching her doll to her heart

She walked slowly in the dark,
Her tiny bare feet shaking with fear
Out of her room and into the hallway,
A plump cheek red, the culprit a tear

She reached a closed door,
And pushed with all her might
She could just make out in the darkness,
Two figures silhouetted by the moonlight

She climbed onto the big bed, 
Reaching the tall man, she cuddled close
Sniffing silently, as she stared at him,
As he shifted a bit, she froze

The man woke up suddenly,
To the sound of a soft purr
Feeling little fingers clutching his shirt, 
He turned around, and saw her

He saw his little baby, her face red,
He felt his heart break into two
As she curled up next to him in fear,
Something was wrong, that he knew

He sat up and took her in his arms,
And he asked, "Sweetheart, are you okay?"
"What's the matter? Did you see a bad dream?"
But with her doll, she absently began to play.

She mumbled in her baby voice, 
Her eyes full of fright, as she nodded
"Daddy, I saw big monsters chasing me,
Because you forgot to check today under my bed"

The man felt his throat dry up,
And felt a love so strong
He felt an urge to keep her safe,
To shield her from everything wrong

He picked he up in his arms, 
Cradling her like the baby she was
And padded down quietly to her room,
To right the wrong, for which he was the cause

He tucked her into bed once more,
And then opened the closet and checked,
He looked under the bed and checked again
He assured her, that his little baby he'd always protect

"No monsters, no ghosts, no evil
Will ever get to you darling",
"Daddy will always be there for you
He'll keep you safe from everything"

He stroked her hair softly
And crooned for her, her favorite lullaby,
As her eyes fluttered close, he watched her
A fallen star that came to him from the sky

..................................................................................................................................................................
I've been away for a long while (many reasons)...so I'm going to post three poems today that I wrote during that period starting with this one!

I'd written this poem on my dad's birthday on the 22nd of October...Hope you all like it :)

Mommy



The little girl stood there,
Tears welling up in her eyes
"Don't go please", she begged
"I won't say any goodbyes!"

Fear overtook the little one,
What was she supposed to do?
A plan hatched in her little mind,
And what a tantrum she threw

At least that delayed the moment,
For a while it would be the same
For she wasn't going to be left behind,
And that was her only aim

She cried her heart out,
And screamed liked a banshee
She stomped her feet on the ground,
What a little genius was she!

The woman watching this for a while,
Now walked towards the girl
She watched a tear roll down her cheek,
Shining like a perfect pearl

The little girl sneaked a peek,
Looked like her plan had been a success
For she saw the woman come towards her,
And she quickly forgot her distress

"You don't want me to leave?",
Asked the woman of the baby
"Never ever", came the soft reply,
"What ever the reason may be"

"Why is that?", the woman wondered,
Curious about what the child would say
The little one's answer, she never could've guessed
It simply took her breath away

"Because whenever you're away,
I feel so sad and blue
I never know anything,
Everything feels strange and new"

"Because whenever you're away,
Something refuses to fit
A piece from a puzzle or a game,
And I always have to quit"

"Because whenever you're away,
The days seem longer somehow,
The nights more darker,
No moonlight they allow"

"Because whenever you're away,
There's no one there to care,
No one to kiss away my bruises,
No one to braid my hair"

"Because whenever you're away,
I never get ice cream or cakes,
There's no one to talk to,
Or to heal my heart, if it breaks"

"Mommy, so please don't ever leave me,
Wherever you go, take me too
Without you I'd be lost forever,
Because that's how much I love you"




...................................................................................................................................................................
Happy 50th Birthday to the most beautiful woman on earth! I love you sooo much 'ma :* It's hard not to...you're the most amazing person I've ever known :) I hope we have a perfect day together today.

Thank you for always being there and always being who you are, for always knowing what to say and what to do, for always being our best friend, for always caring, for never letting go and never leaving us behind no matter what.

Hope you liked the post :) :*

I'll Have You


I want you, this very moment,
I can't stop this feeling I get
I'm so close to you,
Then why aren't you mine yet?

Why do you tease me?
Why do you sometimes disappear?
That one day you'll finally leave me,
It's the only thing I fear

So I'll tell you this,
I've got my heart set on you
One day you'll be mine,
I'll have you if it's the last thing I do


....................................................................................................................................................................
Hi guys! Long time, no see....been really busy with college (final year, you know?) and my poor lappy's all banged up :(. Suddenly got an idea to write this (as usual) so I penned it down. 

Before anyone gets any bizarre ideas about the object of my desire in this poem ;), I'll let you know I was actually talking about my dream. My dream (unlike you, who's reading this :p) is the object of my (envied :D) desire and want. I've made a life altering decision recently, and I've been on a high ever since. So this mirrors the thoughts I've been having, the impatience, the excitement and the undeniable pain of waiting for everything I see for myself, to come true...:)

Hope you're all enjoying the rains! I fall in love every morning these days (with the weather :p).
Catch a dream today :)



All pics are from Google.
Until next time then :) Good night.

Tourmente

All I heard was a silence,
As the phone line went dead
So many angry words spoken,
So many true words, left unsaid

As the shock wore off,
I called you again and again
But each time, I just heard a silence,
I lost my chance, to explain

Trying to blink back a tear,
With my head bowed
I found my way outside,
Through the surrounding crowd

When a cool breeze touched me,
I lifted my head up to see
Black storm clouds and lightnings, 
As the heavens agreed with me

I stood there for a long time,
Remembering each word we'd said
Wondering what had led us here,
What there would be ahead


I felt so cold and alone,
All I saw was your beautiful face
As I closed my eyes,
And dreamed of your warm embrace

As I climbed up onto the bed
Body drenched from the rain,
Eyes tired from the tears,
Oblivion I sought desperately, to stop the pain

I woke up suddenly,
To the sound of the phone ringing
My head ached, as my heart beat faster
Trying to see the number, with my eyes stinging

I picked up the phone,
Heart singing, because it was you 
Last night vanished as you softly said those words,  
And I whispered back, I love you too


....................................................................................................................................................................
The weather here just turned awesome! Dark clouds, lightning, thunder, cool breeze...all the things I dream about :) I was standing on the roof, taking in the beauty of it all, and just thinking about some stuff when I felt the need to write...so, this happened. Hope you all liked it. It's been a while since I wrote something this long.
Tourmente means storm or turmoil in French :)

Both the beautiful pics are from Google this time...spent a long time trying to find the right ones.
Good night everyone! May the beautiful night give you lovely dreams :)

Alone...55Fiction#4

Why didn't the wind take me with it?
Why was I left behind? Still. Alone.
There's nothing but calm around me,
In the middle of nowhere, with no one my own


I wait for so long,
On this path with stones and dust
I feel myself grow weak,
I'll see my end, if I must
....................................................................................................................................................................

Another lovely pic by Leo ( https://www.facebook.com/imchandu/photoshttp://clicksclub.weebly.com/ ) and I penned down this...hope you guys like it...55 Fiction after a long time :)

Painted in White

Wasn't vanilla the official favorite flavor before hundreds of new ones came thundering in?
The color white: It reminds you of a time gone by, of not an in-your-face beauty but a subtle one, a more gentler one...soft, angelic, pure, and somehow so exotic and eternal. And when it mixes with the colors of nature, breathtaking is what you get...



"White...is not a mere absence of colour; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black...God paints in many colours; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white." 
- G. K. Chesterton  
....................................................................................................................................................................

Okay, so I'm back! Exams finally over, yay! :) I've gone a bit rusty and I'll spew out some larger posts soon (I hope), but this is just to let everyone know, I'm officially back in :)

The beautiful pic above, of the flowers (whose identity I could not find except that it grew on onion plants in someone's backyard :D) has been taken by Leo (http://facebook.com/imchandu/photos, http://clicksclub.weebly.com) who let me caption it and allowed me to use it :) Thanks a lot! Looking forward to doing business with you in future too...just keep clicking lovely pics :)

Okay guys, see you soon! Getting back to watching Castle...it's got me officially hooked! :D

Falling


I feel my self falling,
I know nothing will stop me,
Nothing will break my fall
And I wonder, as I near my end

What was the purpose of my existence?
Why did He send me here, if He didn't want me to live?
Why am I only given moments, while others get a lifetime?
Why is it, that I never got a chance?


And as I become one with the earth, I see everything,
Because of me, bees hum again, and flowers smile,
Lovers dance, and children laugh
The world sees a beautiful morning















I know now, the purpose of my existence, and I let go
I was born so that my death could give life, to countless others...


Happy Earth Day!
..................................................................................................................................................................

Hey Everyone! Wrote this one on a whim, 'cause I saw loads of these beautiful pictures and I just wanted to share them. Well before that,  I was wondering, when are the rains going to come?! And I thought about the first raindrop & what would I think if I were that raindrop - just born, falling from heaven straight for the earth? That'd be it. The fall would be my entire life...and my end would bring such a change in the earth, such beauty, that I'd know longer question my fate...

Not all photos are due to Google this time :D
Two of them are very special and have been taken by my friends: The beautiful pic of the bumblebee is by Shekhar Sahu (https://www.facebook.com/ShekharSPhotography) and the other lovely pic of the beautiful rain-kissed pink flower is by R. Yuvashree (http://uv-yura.blogspot.in/).
Thanks a lot, guys! :)

Hope you all liked it...A very happy earth day. Just take a moment to breathe and look around, you'll find beauty everywhere :)

If Only


If only,
I could take back my words,
I'd say the right ones, and tell you,
How much you mean to me

If only,
I had another chance,
I'd spend each day of my life,
Making up, for every mistake, I made

If only,
I could stop time, for a moment,
I'd take that moment,
And live a lifetime with you

If only,
I could look at you once,
I'd remember each expression,
Each move that you make

If only,
I could hold your hand,
I would never let it go,
I'd be by your side, forever

If only,
I could take you in my arms,
I would feel alive again,
I'd find a reason to live

If only,
I could kiss your lips,
I would breathe again,
And, my soul would rejoice

If only,
I could spend my life with you,
I would be complete,
And, there would be no regrets

If only,
You would say yes,
I'd give you every happiness,
I'd make all your dreams come true,
I'd make you my world, my life
Each breath I'd take, would be for you

If only,
You would love me,
I'd be there in the end
I'd make every thing real, 
I'd be your best friend

I would love you,
More than there are stars in the sky,
More than the darkness of night, 
More than the vastness of space,
More than the heat, a fire could ignite

....................................................................................................................................................................

This one came to me suddenly, and I wrote it down in such a short time, which is very unusual for me because usually, it takes ages. The title and some of the feelings I felt while writing this down, came from the movie "If  Only". I found the movie beautiful, about second chances and, love and, mistakes...and regrets.

And, these lines from the song, "If Tomorrow Never Comes", by Ronan Keating, again, got all my emotions fired up!

"I made a promise to myself,
 To say each day, how much she means to me
 And avoid that circumstance,
 Where there's no second chance, to tell her how I feel
 If tomorrow never comes..."

Okay, so I hope you all liked it :) Good night guys. Sleep tight :)

The Answer (Guest Entry)

Here's a reply from my Dad...for the last  post. You're truly amazing Dad :* I love you so much :*


I too look at myself, in the mirror,
And sometimes, see a stranger there
I thought I knew, all the ropes, all the roads,
Now some times, I see a danger there

No, it’s not a writer’s block,
It’s just a blank wall, that blocks my vision
My eyes are wide open,
But they just seem, to stare into oblivion

Words are just no more my friends,
So they are not easy, to be spoken, or written
It’s not that I don’t want to say something,
It’s just that, all the right words are hidden

It’s just a phase I’m going through, right now,
I thought, I understood love & life, but I’m confused
There’s so much contradiction, so many conflicts
So much is going on in my world, it keeps me amused

You say, my words cast a spell,
That they were an inspiration, for you
I’m sorry if I disappointed you, my girl,
I promise to rise above this situation, for you

'Cause if you know me, you’ll know I’m a fighter,
With two negatives, I love to make a positive
Yes, you’ve given me a challenge, saying,
Not to leave the page blank, and to try to be creative

See, I've managed to pick up the courage,
And write these lines, only FOR YOU
From the blanks, I've tried to join the dots
With some words, I could find only for you

THANK YOU SWEETY,
YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION, YOU KNOW
YOU WILL HELP ME,
IN MY DESPERATION, OF THIS I’M SURE
....................................................................................................................................................................

Thank you, Dad. I loved this post. This is what I was talking about. You words are amazing, because you are too. I knew you'd bounce back, I've always known :*
You can visit my Dad's blog at http://john-anddreamscometrue.blogspot.in/
And the second picture, the one of me with my Dad, was taken by Mystic (http://i-me-mysolitude.blogspot.in/). Thanks, Amo, for the beautiful pic :)

An Inspiration


I look at you, and wonder,
What are you waiting for?
What do you need?
About what, are you not sure?

Why do you falter?
What is it, that stops you?
Which tide is it,
That you wish, to swim through?

I saw a world so different,
Through your eyes
A tear turned to laughter,
A sunset, to sunrise

Now, why is it,
That you deny me
Of words of love and romance,
Those of winds, and the sea?

I crave to hear the words,
That you once weaved, out of little
Nothing else could give me,
The joy, they would bring

What is it, that inspires you?
I know not, what is wrong
I write now, to make you understand,
What I had known, all along

Your words cast a spell,
They're an inspiration to me,
If that light inside you, fades away,
So will the world, I love to see 
....................................................................................................................................................................

This post was written on a whim...for someone who really should know how good he is...my Dad :* I know it's not a writer's block that's stopping you from writing, please don't stop...I hope you find this post an inspiration, maybe just in a way that you can write me a reply to it?

You're amazing at this, Dad, and I can't wait to read your words, weaved into beautiful poetry or writing, something that takes me into another world altogether, something that inspires me...
I love you, do it for me please :* 





Don't leave that page blank,
Fill it with your thoughts
Pick up that pen now,
Let's start joining the dots
:)


  

The beautiful picture present at the end is by R. Yuvashree(http://uv-yura.blogspot.in/). Thanks a lot, Yuvva :* 
Good Night, Guys...Dream beautiful dreams :)

An Evening in Paradise

We sit close, with fingers intertwined
In a valley, in the middle of nowhere
The earth laughs, with flowers,
As their colors weave a magic, so rare

We lie down among the flowers,
Watching red ink flow, on a blue parchment
As the evening sky, gets a crimson tinge
With the beauty which the setting sun, lent

A sweet smelling breeze touches us
And whispers of love, we hear,
In the magical scent, of jasmines
As the first signs of darkness, appear

The last of the birds fly home,
And the twilight fades away, into the night
As stars appear, in the meadows of heaven
We fall in love again, under the soft light

We listen to the crickets chirp,
And each of the sounds, the night brings
The tinkling of a spring, nearby,
The song that a solitary bird, sings

The moon appears soon,
And pieces of cloud, scatter and glide
As the stars sing their lullaby,
I fall asleep, with you by my side

Moments later, my eyes open
We're in our bed, and I realize
Just a moment, spent in your arms,
Could give me an evening, in paradise


....................................................................................................................................................................

This one gave me a lot of trouble! It just wouldn't come out the way I wanted :( ...until it finally did ;) I should tell you, that I was totally inspired when I heard someone say the words, "Just like a picnic in heaven", and I played around with the idea for sometime...and finally, you're looking at the result!:)

Thanks to you who gave me this idea :) I owe you ;)

Hope you guys like it :)
Good Night...I  hope you all sleep well, as the stars sing their lullaby ;) :)

Oh yeah, and the above picture is from the movie, Twilight...I don't own it. It's the only picture I found, that was the closest to what had imagined.

What You Left Behind...55Fiction#3

On nights like these, I wish you were by my side...
The world around me is still
All I wish to hear, is your heart beat,
Though it no longer does

In the darkness, I cry for you
I miss you, my love,
I miss our life together...

...Lonely nights are all you left behind

Stuffed with Love

Her little hands clasped me,
So close to her heart
In her warm bed, I used to dream,
Of us, never being apart

She talked to me everyday,
Told me all her little secrets
She took me everywhere she went,
Even to the tea parties, she had for her pets

Soon the day came,
When more friends, she made  
She forgot about me then,
With new companions, now she played

She tried to hide me,
When friends dropped by
Still sometimes, when we were alone, 
She'd hold me close, with a little sigh

I watched her grow up,
From the little corner of her room
And I had no doubt, that soon,
Into a beautiful woman, she'd bloom

I knew she was falling in love,
When I saw her, all dreamy-eyed
I saw her blush and laugh more,
When he was by her side

I was never jealous or mad,
Happiness was all I wanted for her
Sadness was all I felt,
Thinking of how close, we once were

Then on the night before her wedding, 
Into the darkness, poured in light, 
As the door to her room opened,
She took a step forward and came into sight

I knew she had come for me at last,
She walked to me and stood still
As she looked at me lovingly,
The tears in her eyes, started to spill

And she said to me,
"Thank you, for listening to me,
Thank you, for keeping my secrets
In you, my childhood I see"

"I'm marrying the boy,
 Who had once given you, to me
The most beautiful present I'd got,
The year I turned three"

"My companion, you've always been,
I will always love you, Mr. Bear
Thank you, for being my friend,
For you, I'll always care"
