The Comet

Comets are flirty, they come into ur life for a short period of time. Its all great for a while. You're on cloud 9. And suddenly they leave keeping you stranded in blink of an eye.

This separation doesn't affect comets. They are same as before they met you. But you, on the other hand, are left with broken pieces of your heart.

Comet ISON

And then starts the unending recovery process. First you feel anger. You're very angry because the comet has left you. Then comes the part when you're really sad. Now you start to pick up pieces of your heart & try to fit them together to be 'whole' again. But you now realize, the pieces you picked up, are stranger to you. You can't even recognize 'em let alone fit them together.

In short, you can't be & will never be, 'whole' again. There will be heart in your body, but it would be foreign to you & vice versa.

And then you come across a quote, which will make you feel a little better for time being.
Quotes like :

"Every person has some reason to be there in your life. When that reason is over, they leave."

But get this, not these quotes, no person, nothing, can make you feel better or whole again.


You gotta live with a broken heart, a heart which is stranger to you & vice versa. And now you do something, one thing, which changes everything for you & the world you live in;

You start flirting with another comet…
