You Found Me

Thanks to Channel V for picking "The Fray" for their all this month series. I heard this song and it really touched my heart...Will come to the reason later right now I would like to read those lyrics again they were like...

I found God on the corner of 1st and Amistad
Where the West was all but won
All alone, smoking his last cigarette
I said, "Where you been?" He said, "Ask anything"

Where were you when everything was falling apart?
All my days were spent by the telephone that never rang
And all I needed was a call that never came
To the corner of 1st and Amistad

Lost and insecure, you found me, you found me
Lying on the floor surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late, you found me, you found me....

This song took me for a walk down the lane of nostalgia..My life flipped like pages from some ol' book in front of my eyes in those 4 minutes...

Those back benches of my class where I used to sit and watch her the whole day though I mastered that art but was caught on my lucky days and mam used to send me out of the class straight away...But then it was blessin in disguise coz it always allowed me see her face...I can still see that face whenever I close my eyes...That sunlight from the window which used to occasionally divert her attention from concepts of biology and the moments when she accidentally used to look into my eyes(still can do anythin for that look)....Those morning classes when I used to eagerly wait for her roll number to get a glimpse of her n the ones in which I forgot to call my name coz I was busy lookin forward to her number...Those lunch packs that I never opened coz she was going to canteen with her frenz(Of course its associated some serious verbal thrashin @ home...But the first part was more beautiful to be a serial offender) and those days without lunch when she had no plans to go to canteen and I left mine at home...

Those last periods which always seemed like the longest one and were confidants of my acts of takin a book out of bag and puttin it back again to get the perfect timin and walkin few steps with her with my heart pumpin like a 1000W speaker at full volume...Those acts of innocence of pretendin to talkin to friends and lurkin behind their shoulders to look her till that last moment and then lookin up in the sky and prayin for juz one more look which sometimes was granted and she used to pass by like a wind...Phew...That magic in the air....


Those borin weekends when the only job at hand was to go to her place at least once a day with plannin all sort of things but runnin for cover at her first sight....Those rainy days when I used to stand right outside her place and wishin for her one look(which incidentally god never granted..you owe me one GOD) for which I am still under debt of my frenz many of whom fell sick after standin in that downpour....

Those telephone calls for which I used to push my sisters out of room(for privacy of course)...Those endless topics and discussions that never made any sense and those plans which never materialized...All this and a lot more....Its been days, months, years but for me all this was yesterday and will always be....I believe thts wat Love is the one you never get....

Here's the reason for this post:
