The impending gloom on seeing your loved one walking down the aisle, distance seeming to grow with every step taken, tears rolling down your eyes remind you of all the things you shared, you cherished forever,and seem to wait forever for the person to return. Up the aisle, its tears again, tears of joy on seeing your loved one walk to you for a tight hug, a little girl jumping in joy on seeing her dad walking to her, her barbie in hand. A veiled lady bidding bye to her family, to pray for the health of all her people, on a pilgrimage to Mecca. An old man morosely holding on to his walking-stick, to have his chest operated upon in some distant land.Lovers parting,with heavy hearts and assuring love foreach other,their wet eyes speak it all. Neon lights flashing all over,crowds falling in,as soon as a man steps in, a celebrity. A soldier in a coffin on four shoulders,honoured by a million people.Common scenes at aiports, these are.Airports all over the world have seen them all.
A sense of de-ja-vu seems to take you over, looking at all the people at an airport. All the hands waving at the people leaving seem to hypnotise you,take you away in a trance and you are reminded of things, happy or sad, you are filled by the de-ja-vu.Your favourite burger at McDonald's doesn't seem to water your mouth, nor does the cold coffee at the cafe'day express. You seem to be dried up, with butterflies in stomach, everthing seems bland.Whether its your prized seat at the university, or your fat paying job at whatever place, you forget them all, and your mind is filled with emotions, emotions that you never knew you owned.You wish your loved one never goes leaving behind you, but control yourself in hope of all that happiness he brings on his return.You wish it rained in the airport so that your loved one doesn't know you are crying, but your eyes say it all.
