My picture used to be his wallpaper.
I used to laugh at him because for me it was his foolishness and we were good friends so I always kept on asking him why does he keep my picture on his wallpaper.
He used to tell me “I wish you understood.
I wish you understood why I have kept it..”
I used to make fun of him. We all friends used to make fun of him.
It has been 8 years since then.
8 years since he has moved away.
8 years since I have moved on with my life.
I am really very happy in my life you know,
I have my dream job, my dream house, my dream cars, my pets. Everything I had ever wished for in my life.
But…
He is on my wallpaper now.

Sometimes some feelings and some action meant to just understand . They always have special meaning that only two heart can understand.

Very beautifully penned…life happens and some times when we understand things its too late.
Thank you
Just wow! Loved the way you described. And sometimes we later understand why.

Loved it , just loved it. The way you described the emotion, loved it yaar. So much depicted in so few words. Keep writing.
Thank you…
Some understandings dawn too late. A short story with a string impact. Brilliantly written, Moni.
Thanks
Wish the things that must be said and understood didn’t take 8 years to get through. Nicely written and expressed!
Thanks
This is just so perfect! beautifully written dear! loved your writing style, keep writing more
Thank you
It is very difficult to express so much in so few words… calls for a whole lot of creativity n hats off to you. Although I have to admit that I had to read it twice to understand… but it could be cuz I didn’t know it was a kind of a nano story.
Thank you
That’s an interesting nano tale with a loud message. Treasure people when they are around.
Thank you
I love the way you write. There is so much depth in what you have written. By the time people realize the importance of a person, it is too late.
Thank you
Short, sweet, and oh so poignant! In a few words, you’ve said something so big and significant, and that last line just hits at the heart. It’s beautiful 🙂
A short piece but it sure packs a punch. Loved it, Moni. Looking forward to reading more such gems from you.
What a touching tale in simple words.No gimmicks no fancy words but a powerful message.. I really loved it. More power to your pen
So touching and so loving. I hope ahe gets to meet her wallpaper soon. Your article reminded me of the days when I used to be the wallpaper of my husband’s phone and he mine. Such a sweet story of love and hope!
You have proven that love doesn’t need long verses but it can be expressed simple words
This made me kind of emotional. I love the writing style depicted here. Well written
Heartfelt note Moni. It is sad but true – we understand many things in life a tad too late.
Short & meaningful story. Life moves on for everyone, but still something is missing,
Loved reading the post.
Deep emotions, expressed subtly. We realize a lot of things much later in life.
It was short yet clear, one can understand What has happened and is happening by just reading these few crisp lines with the pointers being straight. Loved this
Heartfelt post. Sometimes it’s too late when we actually understand it.
The words are very heart-touching. This explains the true relationship of two friends. The connection between the two has made you succeed in the life. In short, this story has showed us a deep and a true friendship.
I loved this piece! It’s cute in a haunting way and leaves one with goosebumps.
The road not taken v2.0, if I may.
Yes
Awww. A cute and interesting one. That’s all we say…life
If he is still on your wallpaper, it means that you still haven’t gotten over him. People come and go all the time, leaving their footprints and making their memories last. I think if you’re doing well, move on. It will help you heal faster!
Life goes on. He on your wallpaper. Such a practical approach. Loved the way you have described the emotions.
In such few lines, so many emotions and thoughts have been conveyed. At times we don’t know what we want until we don’t have it any longer.
oh what a hard-hitting poem!!! loved it!!!
You have managed to convey a lot in very little! Amazing!
