May be...

As I see him in the cafe across the street after 8 long months and he waves at me... I stand still for a moment as nothing is the same now.
The last time I felt his warmth was 8 months ago and after that we parted our ways or to be honest...it was the other way round.
For the first few days, things seemed fine but then my hopeless heart started wandering in the search of the comfort his arms endowed upon me and ever since I've been craving to meet him but today as he walks towards me,I don't have anything to say.
All the chaotic questions have suddenly turned so silent today.
I don't know what to do except to look at his ever mesmerising face and smile as he looks at me.
"So do you still like strong coffee with no sugar?",he chuckles 
All I can do is nod and smile.
And as he drops me near the college gate and hugs me with his fingers running through my hair,all I can do is stand stumped because my heart which has been craving for this to happen doesn't know how to handle of all it now.
May be it has always been this way with me, I want everything in the world and when I get it, I don't know what to do with it and so I drive it away and then spend the rest of my life in melancholy.
May be it'll always be this way,I'll never be able to get out of this cage I've been building around myself and may be he will always be my favourite daydream.
May be.

Awesome! Very well captured... As for building the cage, be careful... Someone has said..
बड़ी मुददत के बाद मिलने वाली थी कैद से आज़ादी
पर किस्मत तो देखो, जब आज़ादी मिलने वाली थी
तब तक पिंजरे से प्यार हो चुका था!
