When.

Once in a while, when I ran out of thoughts.

When you ran into love.
When we explored dreams that lay with-in and with-out.
When cold winter showers chilled our bones, and we craved for the fireplace.
When I wrote like you once did. When I write like you were talking.
When you taught me to dream the dream. And the dream danced in my head all this while.
When we sneaked through mental escapdes.
When you spoke and I blabbered.
When I fancied chilled strawberry shakes and vanilla cupcakes.
When we lay under stars that seemed yellow with dust.
When iced lemonade soothed the scorch of the sun.
When I stole mom's pearl trinkets for the party. When you smiled at my supposed cleverness.
When we talked wise till the sun arose.
When you let me play pranks on you only to laugh about them later.
When you bitched about the girl who left you.When you warned me to not be fooled by love.
When we laughed at how bad we fared during math exams.
When you wore bright checks shirts and denims for the Sunday brunch.
When I stole caramel crunchies from your travel bags.
When I told you about previous night's dream.
When only I knew where you were hiding.

When I ran out of thoughts.
