Who Are You Right Now?

Right now, 

I'm mentally switching between Adele Adkins and Lionel Richie. 

I sometimes feel happy for someone who will have all your attention and love. 

I'm keeping all the shadows and ghosts so that your new lover can have the sunlight and soothe.

I know you will treat her better because the only difference between treating me good and treating her better can be seen in the way you love her - just the way I love you. 

It can be witnessed best in the way you are sticking by her. 

I spotted you two by chance and my eyes could not stop looking at her - she has a charisma as compared to my commonplace care. 

Or may be, 

I fell short of long hair. 

It amazes me how fast you changed roles from copper to iron when we both were at our magnetic best. 

But I think it was easy for Adele because her song “Send my love to your new lover" may be a “wink and nod” to the struggles that the new girl may have to face. She tells the man to “Treat her better” and that is slightly suggestive of the fact that he didn't treat her right. 

But you gave me all the love I was starving for. What do I do now? 

Send my love to your new lover because I know how much you can heal just by listening and I want another woman to smile too.

If I ever get to meet her, I would befriend her and when she will open up, I will steal glances at her and be sure why you like her better.

I just wonder what if you were Adele's ex? 

Would she still be sending the love to your new lover? 

She would but after keeping a part for herself too!

Then I go back to being Lionel. 

I over think on the rightly reflected part but in a parallel world, I dream of being with you along with the repairable broken pieces.

I swear not to bother you with the overly damaged past pieces and future intemperate outbursts. 

Hello, is it me you're looking for?

If not, what shall I do more to be with you? 

I understand Lionel singing this for a blind student but you haven't seen the way I have been keeping an eye on your favourite football team scores. 

Are you blind too? 

On anxious and vulnerable nights, I remember how soothing your voice was and request you one more time in my head - 

Tell me how to win your heart, for I haven't got a clue.

But let me start by saying, I love you. 

But I wish I were Sam Smith - too good at goodbyes to protect my soul. 

But deep down, I'm just Toni Braxton secretly hoping for - 

Un-break my heart

Say you'll love me again. 

- Happy Valentine's day to all the souls who have left part of themselves in different songs.
