I walk around all day saying things I don’t mean, things
that are not true. Yes, I’ve turned into a liar now. As I swing my legs out of
bed in the morning and slide my feet into the black slippers on the floor, I
softly mouth the words, “I fit into you so perfectly.” While squeezing out the
clear blue toothpaste onto my soft-bristled toothbrush I whisper, “You look
good enough to eat.” As I lie face down on the bright pink yoga mat, I gently
run my fingers over its texture cooing, “I wish I could stay like this
forever.” While turning up the volume on my stereo I look at the big silver
dial and say, “I just can’t keep my hands off you.” In the kitchen I pour hot
water over the dark brown coffee grounds and as the intense aroma wafts up I
sigh out loud with, “You seduce me like none other.” I put my phone into my
pocket while walking out of the door and say, “I will never leave you.” As I
step out into the morning sunshine, I extend my arms to soak in the warmth and
say, “I love the way you feel against my skin.” In the market, I caress ripe
red tomatoes and blurt out, “I can’t wait to feel you inside my mouth.” In the
late afternoon, I sink into my comfortable bed and say, “There’s nowhere else I’d
rather be.” While lining my eyes with dark black kohl, I gaze intently into the
reflection in the mirror and slowly say the words that I’ve been hoarding all
along – “I. Love. You.” Yes, I walk
around like a fool all day spewing out words I do not mean to things that do
not deserve them.

Himanshu, and here I thought I was the only one ;) Ha ha ha
Seriously though, I don't really do that but the other day I was struck by the thought of what happens to the things we don't say out loud... If there's a spillover and how.. That's what triggered the post. Of course, I'd be lying if I said I don't really feel that way about my bed and coffee. Those feelings are 100% true :-)
