3 AM.

It was around 3 am. I wasn't sleepy and he was sleeping next to me. I didn't knew it was love, affection or addiction. But, there was something strong between us. I praised his head. Strands of his hair were trapped between my fingers softly. I was just gazing at his innocent face. That night i wanted to lie down on his chest and kiss him all along. YES! I WAS FALLING FOR HIM. I just wanted to kiss him and show him all my love. Deep inside there was something.. something that stopped me each second. Maybe, the fear of heartbreak. I was afraid to fall for him even then I was doing the same. My thumb rolled over his cheek. In that dark silent room before I could kiss him, my mind started shouting. Because I was storm and he was just a cloud. I never wanted to take him deep with me and become a reason for his destruction.

  We were strangers. He asked me "what you do?"
   My reply to him was- "I FEEL."

He looked into my eyes with a mixed feeling of shock and happiness. He smiled. And, somehow i knew he has fallen for me too. I had no idea about what made him fall for me. All i knew about him was that he expressed less! much lesser than me. With time.. maybe that's the thing that helped us to grow.

   I made him feel words.. He made me feel the silence.
