When I go to bed, I may not be tired
When I wake up, I may not feel
rested
When I take a break, I may not
be rejuvenated
When I feel tired, I may not
feel wasted
When I am smiling, I maybe
smirking
When I cry, I may not be sad
When I am angry, I may be de-stressing
When I am happy, it may not be
out of pleasure
When I am thinking, I may be
wandering
When I am talking, I may not
make sense
When I am quiet, I maybe more
dynamic
When I am excited, I may be
serene, inside
When I am romantic, I may worry
over a plumber
When I am practical, I may plan
a holiday
When I show my true self, I
maybe enacting
When I am acting, I may be real
When I am searching, maybe I
look for none
When I find you, I may look
some more
When no one cares, maybe I am
‘no one’
When care is all I get, I may prefer
being alone
When I am confused, maybe I am
clearer
When I am clear, maybe I am
lost: a little
When I am confident, maybe I am
pretending
When I am nervous, I maybe at
my best
When I am playing games, maybe
I am serious
When I am critical, my sense of
humor may show
When I am afraid, maybe I
am at my brave-best
When I am weak, maybe I am
strong
When I am teasing, I may not be
flirting
When I indulge, maybe it is out
of habit
When I say, I love you; I may
not always mean it
When my heart breaks, maybe
I plan it.

of your title. I did not want to address you just
by your first name.
But from now on, it is Amit :)

Reality is very confusing. And one can't predict the mind of the other person. Yes, one who understands the emotions of other person is a true friend!
ReplyDeleteHello Sibi,
DeleteYes, a true friend reads your mind like a book.
