Bye-Bye

For a minute, my soul left limbly my body. The presence of death knocking off my senses. Then woke up. And realised that it was just a dr- a nightmare. But now being alive is indeed a nightmare.

So what do you study for?“ A set of two blue oceans were gazing directly at her while twinkling in excitement. A shy smile crept on her exotic face. "Arts.” “Which is your favourite painting?” His crystalized blue eyes were boring onto her honey ones. “They are looking at me right now.

She was a mystery. A riddle that nobody could decipher. She became my drug. An addictive drug. Her aroma flared my manly instincts. I could see the fire in her eyes.

What do you see?” He whispered in her ear. Her eyes scanning and lingering in her reflection. Tilting her head as she wetted her dry lips. Her mind was contemplating vaguely which words were correct to tell. “Well.. I see a bro-” she was starting to say but he cut her off. “No no. Stop! Stop!” Sighs and thinks for a minute before responding, “Try again but this time be more general and clear.” Confused by his words she nodded anyways. “Now again what do you really see?” Her mind was spinning around by his choice of words. General and clear? What did he mean by that? She thought. Her eyes trying hard to decipher the well hidden code. Unsurely she began to say, “First I see a umm woman….?” “Yes yes keep going on. You are in a good path. But beyond your gender what else do you see?” Adrenaline was rushing through his body. They were so close. So close that he could feel it till his toes. “And a-a hu-uman?” His huge hands clapped together loudly making her heart accelerate by the sudden sound. “Yes. Yes. Finally!!! That’s what my ears wanted desperately to hear. Don’t you see? Labels don’t define us. We are NOT labels. We are humans.
