Dream about me

Babe, oh dream about me
Lie, on the phone to me
Tell me no truth, if it is bad
There's enough in my life
To make me so sad

He works in my office. Sadly, not in the same room. I use every opportunity I get to get a glimpse of him. And he remains impassive.

Every time.

Just dream about-
Colour fills our lives
Just dream about-
Someone else tonight

She and I work in the same office. We sit at opposite ends of a very large room. I sit at my desk, concentrating on my work. But I know when she walks behind me. I'd recognise the sounds of her heels anywhere.

And babe, oh dream about me
On the phone, talking quietly
I want to be yours
I want you to be mine
Against red skies, through all time

Sometimes I get the feeling that he knows about my feelings for him. Our eyes met several times and each time he is the first to break the gaze. Whenever we have talked, his replies are always formal. I wish he was friendlier. I wish he would smile once in a while.

And babe, oh dream about me
Lie, on the phone to me
Tell me no truth, if it is bad
There's enough in my life
To make me so sad

The conversations I have with her, it is always a mixed bag. Formal questions get formal answers, teasing lines are replied with smiles. But somewhere, something went wrong. Being on friendly terms, I did not expect her to tell me that my friendly banter makes her uncomfortable. It came as a shock to me.

Just dream about-
Colour fills our lives
Just dream about-
Someone else tonight

Maybe there is a girl in his life.

Just dream about-
Colour fills our song
Just dream about-
How I will let go...

Maybe there is a guy in her life.

    I must give credit where it is due. The text in italics are the lyrics of a song by Moby called "Dream about me".

    Smiles hidden beneath fake identities, one masked face greets another.

    Yeah, i googled it a little while later.
    Liked the date story.

    If you do smoke, like the blurb hints, drop by sometime. I have a post you might like.

    And a Happy new year to you.

    Safari Al, you talking about the latest post on your blog? There is something about it that I like (no, not the smoking part), but I am not able to put my finger on it.

    Erebus, am assuming you are talking about a movie. (making note to self about The Office).

    Thulika, there is always a "maybe there is someone else". :-)

    Evenstar, I read what you had to say on being your own butterfly. Eerily similar at a lot of places, barring things girl-specific. You use YM?

     

  • At 12/28/2005 2:53 PM, Blogger Safari Al said…

    yep...never mind.

    but you guys leave comments on your own blog? kinda difficult to track down each time.

    i dont know but somewhere you seem to be the kinda guy i'd hang around with. no offense and all.

    but hey chennai is pretty far off and my knowledge is limited to mylapore and adayar.

    Well yeah, we leave comments on our blogs. Because it is our space, you see. For a new reader, it will be difficult in the beginning to keep track of comments.

    I don't see why I should take offense. Was that supposed to be "don't seem to be the kinda guy I'd hang around with"? :-))

     

  • At 12/28/2005 5:01 PM, Blogger Hyde said…

    Did I type "offense" instead of "offence"?

    The horror!

     

  • At 12/28/2005 6:02 PM, Blogger Safari Al said…

    dont matter...what i meant was that its kinda weird for someone to come hunting elsewhere to find a comment to something that was where he/she started out.


    i know thats a lot of variables but please put it down to the present engineering 'education' that i am supposed to be doing.

    simply put...it would be nice if you left comments on my blog the way i leave comments on yours. makes it easier to reply.

     

  • At 12/28/2005 7:35 PM, Blogger Hyde said…

    It would be nice, but spoils the conversation thread. If you were to read this later and wanted to know exactly how I responded, you will have to search your blog to keep track.

    Mail is another option. The address is at the top-right corner.

    Hmm.... where have I heard a part of this 'story' and before?

     

  • At 1/06/2006 8:20 PM, Blogger Hyde said…

    You have? I didn't tell you... oh wait, I did, I did! :-D

    Maybe they should stop speculating and talk :))

    Awesome write!

    If they did talk, it wouldn't make you go awww in the end. :-))
