1. Yearning in Silence

I don't know what happens to me when I suddenly look at those pairs of eyes. I immediately get lost in its depth and lose track of time - immersing myself in the warmth of her gaze without the least bit of hesitation on myself.

I don't know why I feel so much at peace whenever those lips stretch into a heartfelt smile, making me smile along with her. I feel pleasantly anxious, eager to know if the reason behind her smile was me.

I don't know when my heart begins to flutter whenever I think of her silky long hair woven into two delicate braids on each side. It made me curious to know what shampoo she would always use so I could use the same.

I don't know when I started to feel this way... this love in my heart. Though I know I should not be feeling this way, what can I do for the natural love blooming inside me that's making me bloom crazily?

I don't know if I should talk to her or wait forever... Though maybe she has someone whom she adores just like the way I adore her. But still, I could be a friend, wishing her the best, gazing at her from far away.

I don't know if we will ever cross paths again as someday I could lose her in the crowd. But, I hope to see her again, her smiling face which is like the calm mountains of Manali and her silky hair just like the pure Mansarovar Lake.

Obsidian: He's hilarious. Like, actually. I loved it. You're writing style is great, although you could do with a few less murmurs and mutters.
