The Drop

Describes how it felt today when I saw my love interest with another girl.

It’s that dropping action that gets you when you see that something is wrong. Your hands start shaking. Your heart beats faster and faster. Eyes bulge. And freeze - time stops. You drop the coffee that you’ve been craving for days. You were carrying too much anyway. You’re struggling to keep hold of that worn-out, blue binder that you decorated during one of the most happy and naive times of your life while your keys threaten to join the coffee pool forming under you. Your stomach drops. The air that previously filled your lungs has been violently and abruptly punched out of you. The mouth forms a perfect “o” as your breathing comes to halt. All that your brain is full of is this instant. It’s as though a thousand lifetimes have passed in that one moment.

No one notices, of course. You’re not quite sure whether that’s good or not.

You scream, “This way!” to your friends to avoid the moment.

They follow quite cluelessly, giving their reasons as to why you so suddenly decided to travel in the opposite direction. Of course, they are wrong. You continue life as you have to. And as you continue life as though that thousand years hasn’t passed, you become numb to the world.

Author's Note

I just NEEDED to express how I felt today somewhere. Writing gives me the purpose I lack throughout the day. I don't desire many views; I just NEEDED to say this.

It's almost always that our real life experiences make up for good writing..... Our need to vent is our source of the best pieces
Beautifully written and very well expressed!!
Keep writing about your life because that's the best type of writing , atleast I think so
