In Love (With Clouds)

The world glitched a bit as she opened her eyes

The matrix, pausing and overloaded

The algorithm took a second to figure her out

There was a pause in the simulation

A minor pause

She exhaled all the smoke and slightly moved her hand

The ashes flew all around

Making their way out towards the open window

The dull and boring room was still the same

The paint on the wall was still worn off

The walls still had those weird moisture patches

But her interpretation of them was so different now

Which each puff she rose above

Towards the heavenly adobe

Or even beyond

She stood up, a million carcinogens still in her hand

Looking at the world from the 19th floor

She felt that she could touch the clouds

Increasing the volume of the U2 song,

She walked towards the balcony

Her eyes fixed on the clouds outside

Dark, mysterious, full of wrath and agony

She felt the clouds on her lips

Inhaling through the small pipe again

She closed her eyes and swung her body half outside

She could feel the faint tiny droplets

Each carrying a message from the heavens

Falling on her forehead

She stayed in the position for quite a while

Before the song stopped playing and she had to rewind

She opened her eyes and looked inside

There she was, standing on her balcony

Independent and free,

a life she always longed for, a life that was like a dream

She puffed the last drag and put the murderer out

The rain now pouring heavily outside

She inhaled the last cloud of smoke

She closed her eyes

Rolling down her cheek, she felt a stream of lies

His memory still haunted her

Maybe that's why the clouds seemed familiar

Dark, mysterious, filled with wrath and agony

She played another song, Nirvana this time

Lost in her battle, a burden in her mind

She picked another carcinogen, another cigarette

Put her lips around, lighting and inhaling

She closed her eyes

His thought gone for the moment

Her mind empty

Her thoughts only about the most beautiful of times

There was another glitch in the matrix

She opened her eyes and was smiling after ages

Wrath and Agony are now replaced with euphoria and sadness

She picked her laptop, opened the lid

And from the most broken heart in the whole world

Who could've predicted, the most beautiful love story could take birth
