Lipstick is my favourite accessory.
It brightens my lips and makes my face glow and light,
It brightens my mood and makes it shine and bright,

He wasn’t what she had expected him to be and she couldn’t become what he wanted her to be.
The world said that they both lacked compatibility.
Only they both knew that they lacked love for each other.

She was ready to change her entire being for him and his affection. He wasn’t even ready to give up his callousness towards her.

They met after years and had lunch together. They remembered their old days and common friends. He paid the bill for the food but forgot to collect the receipt. She pointed it out and he casually reminded her that it won’t fetch him any reimbursement.

The proposal that she had been awaiting since long never happened. Probably he was never in love with her. Thus, she stopped all her communications with him.
Years later, she found his old letters in her locker. She re-read them after years. And lo! the clues were all there, the hints so strong. Yet she didn’t...
