METAMORPHOSIS

You taught me to love.
You never said, ‘Only the rich, only a thimbleful.’

What an irony.


Perhaps, I've not grown much afterall.
I still have that selfish tendency to run away. To get away from it all. To just pack up and leave, and never return. But even that, I am too much of a coward to do so. Eventually, I know I'd return when I feel I've ran enough and that I'm done with it, or when I realise that maybe everyth was actually better back then. But, just maybe. Because by then, I'd have been running for so long, I'd not remember what it'd felt like before I started running.


And do not have any expectations of me.
I'd only disappoint you, because I am really not who you think I am.
