Epiphany

Writing is my life. 

L'ecriture est ma vie. 

The greatest fear I have had is

What if I lose this passion? 

It's everything in my life. 

Without it I am nothing. 

I have nothing. 

What if it doesn't work... 

What if I don't get published... 

What if it's not a success... 

So many what ifs...

Then:

It happens suddenly, 

At the most unexpected time

The haze gets cleared 

I realise my future 

I start visualising my first step 

Into my dream world

I see the breakthrough coming

My selfish self has vanished into the air

I look forward to a collaboration

With a person whom I met

Just a couple of years ago

So different 

Strangers

Just united by a fandom, 

The events of the year that just passed

Shocked us both

Something grew between us 

We described it as 'Surprisingly Comfortable' and 'Crazy', 

Then came those

Three hours 

Twenty two minutes 

Six seconds, 

Just two weeks before our Board Exams. 

It felt different

We discovered things on our way

We questioned our decisions

We got horrified at the 'Coincidences'

We made an Unbreakable Vow.

She said I inspired her to show her writings to me

I told her she inspired me to show my writing to the world. 

She says her writing is amateur

I say my writing is amateur. 

She asks me if I can risk getting published with her 

I ask her if she can risk working with me. 

It's a surprise for her

It's a dream come true for me. 

She has a hunch it's going to work

I have a hunch it's going to work. 

She's determined to stay by my side

I'm determined to stay by her side.

She's committed to do this 

I am committed to do this. 

In our own lives we have been insecure, 

But at this point - 

We have an intuition, 

Our conscience proclaims out loud -

'This is meant to be'

And

This is where

Our worlds collide.
