Neel, She called him.
Noori, He named her.
They decided to stick to names that didn't matter much to them or anyone else.
She was running from a horrible vision.
He was running from his existence.
She wished to fly.

There are people you have met once and then there are people you have known all your life.
Each one has a different impact.
They come, stay, and leave at different points of life. Some leave to return and some leave to never come back to you. The temporary meetings with such people never mean a lot and those who stay permanently, influence every action of yours in a way that their presence lingers in your thoughts.
They are your voice of conscience.
But there is a third category of people who stay like an everlasting memory, giving an almost false inkling of forever.
The period never matters.
They leave a hole behind for their presence. It cannot be filled or ignored. They fade into thin air, yet the fragrance of their personality is left behind. Reminding their presence in every breath you take. They touch your heart like an ephemeral caress of love, leaving you yearning for more.
They teach you a lot.
They teach you about pain and suffering, but also about blessings, joy, and happiness. They teach you that sometimes, even those seemingly contradictory feelings can coexist. You can want them and not have them all at once. They leave yet stay back.
Sometimes all at once, nothing at all, and sometimes they are present when you close your eyes and absent the moment you blink back, simultaneously. They teach you about good and bad but also about the void that exists in between. Their presence makes you realize that not everything is black and white and the world is so much more beautiful and joyous because of that.
They are the greys in your life.
Your pink, purple, black, white, red, yellow, and violet fade and remix into a grey.
There are many and then there is one person who teaches you a lot.
About self-love and self-care and how long the journey is. And how much you still have left of that journey.
