If Only...

She looked around, feeling desolation take hold of her senses as the cold winter air pressed against her skin, making shivers run down her frizid body. It was just the weather to make every horrible thought surface in the mind and make the eyes go moist. And she did not want to feel anything at the moment. It was just perfect...feeling nothing and savouring the emptiness that seemed to engulf her into its midst. He looked towards her and winked, his smile lighting the features under the lamp. Unwantingly emotions surfaced from deep within and she smiled back. He looked back to the woman standing in front, seeking all his attentions. Her eyes searched the figure for any defect yet her eyes found nothing. There is just so much her heart wished for him to have seen her the way he acknowledged her presence. But wishful thinking was all she could indulge in. Finding her cigarette she lighted it, forcing herself to look anywhere but in his direction.

"Where is your friend tonight?" Sidharth asked and she shrugged in his direction. The two figures were now walking away into the night.
"Ah..." Sidharth said and looked at the woman standing by her side. He felt the emotion erupt in his chest. How he wished she would look at her the way she sought his stare. There was just something about this woman that made him wonder...If only...But it was nothing but wishful thinking, he thought and felt the desolation settle in again.
