An Open Letter

by Shalini, posted in Musings

I don’t like opening my heart

I don’t like sharing my feelings

I don’t like letting someone in

I don’t like wondering about well being

Yet that happens

I know you are busy

But I miss you

I know you are doing stuff

But I miss you

I know you have lots happening

But I miss you

I know you have others to think of

But I miss you

That is why

I don’t like feeling the emotions

I don’t like waiting for you

I don’t like giving you space

I don’t like pinging you again

Then friendship happens

I know you have people to meet

But I miss you

I know you have others to speak to

But I miss you

I know you have lots on your plate

But I miss you

I know you have pages to write

But I still miss you… 

—these words are dedicated to James J Cudney the fourth, my first friend on WordPress

      1. My pleasure! I am sure they will! 😀 Since you linked their blog, I am sure it will be shown in their feed 🙂 Hope your friendship with them lasts long! 😀

    3. And Jo I have commented on your trip. My comments are in spam somewhere kindly check. Also that was a lovely henna design on your hand, that was beautiful, the second one. The first with the black one was full of chemicals, I saw that it gave you a reaction. It happened to me too

      1. I need to get onto my laptop to check my spam folders. Job for tomorrow! Thank you, it really was a work of art, so intricate!

      2. Spam folder is on phone too. Just go to the part where you write a new post. There is a category comment along with site statistics and pages and post. Click on comments you will get the spam folder. Bam and you are done

      1. Ha ha, I did not mean in bad way. Generally I get all my thoughts when I am in shower 😂 I don’t know why? My deep thinking gets awakened there. It’s a honest confession! 🤦‍♂️ Don’t get offended 😁, yes definitely I will check the spams, I was kind of away from blogs, there must be many unnoticed messages for sure! 🙏

    1. Thank you so much. Some days I can put my feelings to words.

      I miss the person I loved. But I am still unable to put those feelings to words. It is like my grief is frozen in my heart. Maybe one day my heart would thaw.

      Thank you ❤️

  27. Beautiful lines! And the last couplet especially! I haven’t been very active on the platform for the last month and looks like I have a lot of catching up to do with your blog 🙂
    I know posts like these aren’t that routine on your blog, but I wish you’d write such more often! Cheers
