HEY!

Years? No months! After incessant chats, texts, calls; things sorted to this three-letter word. The word ‘Hey’ is definitely not a terrible way of starting a greeting; in fact, it’s a great startup line for a total stranger. This piece is a great example.

Honey bunnies, handsome, hottie were the word used before now. Sometimes, we get scared, sorry! I get super anxious about who is meant to say this trio. You or me? Hey! I don’t even know.

But it’s totally fine. The greater deal is the expressions that were deemed fit to be shown at intervals, emotions that needed to be spelled out over time. Everyone deserves that I guess; the feeling to feel loved by someone you’ve always wanted to feel loved by. It’s very funny how the word ‘hey’ can radiate a smile on a face so bright enough you get to see their cheek smuggle on each other. And of course, it’s extremely funny how the word ‘hey’ shatters the remnant of shredded heart pieces into a thousand more pieces.

But hey! Never should you worry about the missing puzzles, unanswered questions, feelings surreal. I guess they were never meant to be. There was never a goodbye and I guess there was never a beginning as well...

Letter to a friend.
