Running In Circles...

She sat there.Pondering.Looking at him.He was happy.His worries seemed forgotten.Among friends.Envy,sadness,affection,all running through her mind.She envied all of them.She rued the fact that he simply refused to acknowledge her with others around.

He sat there.Relieved.Yet he worried about her.She had been acting strange lately.Needy and possessive.Each moment increased his unwillingness to be with her.He was having second thoughts about this relation.He rued all those times he had spent with her.

A forced relation.A relation based on needs.A relationship of convenience.They had met 4 years earlier after his divorce.He had needed his space.Others had advised him both against the separation as well as this relation.But he was drawn to her.She was willing to be with anybody who asked for her company.And the passion with which he desired her,she was always ready to be there for him

But time outgrows needs and he slowly outgrew her.The only problem being that she had become used to him.He was one of the few who had made her feel wanted.

The evening over.He sat in his car.Like always he found her waiting.He started driving.There was not much to say.She was never big on conversation.It always felt as if he was talking to himself not that it mattered much to her.He was happy enough to be wanted.

But for him it was time to move on.He had had enough.He realized that he had the space he needed,but it was just filled with nothingness.

He turned his car around.Drove towards his ex-wife's house.He parked his car and stepped out.Leaving her behind,staring at his back.She was Loneliness.
