off much deprived limelight

I sat in the blue plastic seat at the back with iPod earphones stuffed in both ears while I stared into the distance. My glance never faltered although the old uncle next to me kept going "Boom!" in anticipation of a collision between motorcycles, a MiniCooper and the bus. He kept yawning and this I know because his hands kept flying to his face to cover his open mouth.

The two pairs of lovebirds in the front were being extra affectionate; whispering sweet nothings while leaning on each other's shoulder, she doodled private jokes in Sanskrit alphabets on his hand while he looked on adoringly. That was as much as I could take in of the teenage couples because my gaze held more important things that were outside, in the distance.

I just could not look away. I felt if I looked away, I would lose it and it will never return again. Or I'll never be able to find it. So my eyes soaked in every little bit of it. It seared and hurt, causing people to look like orange and yellow blobs depending on where they were. I got dizzy and yet I stared. This was one subject that never hid at the prospect of being stared at instead it challenged a stare down.

I wasn't about to back down. I must have seemed like the most conceited commuter on the bus today. It was after all the most interesting thing to do in that span of time anyway. I stared until it backed away into the horizon leaving tinges of beautiful orange, red and purple in between clouds. Yes, I had a stare down with the sun and I won. *beams*

If you didn't already know, I have an undying love affair with the rain but today it was as if I was addicted to the sun. The sandwich lunch was had in the park as it is usually had but I stayed longer. In fact it was too long that it was late when I went back. I sneaked in with my face all flushed and my hair in a mess thanks to the sweet winds. One or two of them colleagues noticed and flashed me a smile. =)

I must admit the sun was a seducing company.

Did you look at the sky today?
