International Airports and the Wait outside!
Am here to pick up my nephew... Something familiar that I just noticed and realised... Just watching this girl wait... She's come alone so I can guess it’s her bf she's eagerly waiting for... Texting... Looking ahead... And then waiting again... I don’t know who she is... But it’s something familiar... That I’ve always felt... Anxiousness. Excitement. Constantly getting up and walking around impulsively. Restless. Watching everyone else walk out that exit. The butterflies in the stomach. The brain getting a doze of some really toxic (passion) hormones. The thumping heart!
She's sitting and shaking her feet, almost losing that patience... Reading her text message and smiling to herself... And then looking up yet again, wondering why he's not out yet... There are a lot of smokin HOT men walking out of that door! Yet, her eyes are still looking out for someone else... A more pleasant face from amongst the crowd is what she's waiting to see...except that she can’t wait anymore... I don’t know where she gets the patience... I don’t know where I get the patience... It’s always just right there but we lose it mostly and it’s very rare that we seem to realise its presence within our complicated selves...
Back to my lady-in-love! She's still waiting for the guy... Now even I m getting anxious for her... ‘Mr. Lover, please come out quick now’, I said it in my head...
There is an old couple sitting next to her... Also waiting for someone. They are talking to her out of sheer boredom and tiredness... She's giggling with them... They are all still discussing the heat, the tiredness, the anticipation. It’s a long wait... For them... For her... And for me...
Just when we start to wonder again... Out comes the Mr. Lover.... The look in her eyes... it’s the love... The radiant smile on her face that makes her look more beautiful than she already is... A tight long hug... A beautiful and gentle kiss on her lips... Still hugging... And kissed again looking deep into her eyes... As if telling her how much he loves her... Every part of them is telling each other how much they've missed each other and how they've longed to be together again... Except that they haven’t said a word... They've said all this and much more through their bodies the way it still stays entangled together in that tight embrace... With arms around each other!
It’s a feeling of deep content to see them together. It’s a joy to see these lovers meet after travelling oceans apart at the International Airports. Wondering when my day would come! And I know I will feel all that my lady felt today and much more... Multiplied manifold... And the day would come soon when I get to see my lover too... For now, I m just waiting.... :-)
