A Story

In the Rain, Stars Align

For her I was a chapter, for me she was the book. - Parvesh Kadiyan

For me you were a chapter, for you I was the book.

I was the book you leafed through and tried to break my spine

So I cut you as you tried to flip the pages

For you were the chapter I let out my breath when I finally finished

I was the book you put on the shelf that you tell everyone you missed reading

But never actually gave a second glance

Chapter 30: That girl is smart :) I mean, it's hard to trust a guy after what they do to another girl. You just feel that insecurity, wondering whether he'll repeat the same cycle with you.
