Two cups of Chai

I kept the chai glasses together, before he walked in. I looked at them staying side by side,  Touching ever-so-lightly. I took a sip from both the cups, before he walked in. They tasted alike. Much like you and me. But then you walked in. I gave away a cup of chai to you. You sipped the tea I stole a bit. I smiled. We drank our teas- Yours in you, and mine in me. Much like our ways. But I took a sip before you walked in, and i touched the glasses together, and looked at it like a dream i often see. You and i smiled, and went our way. But I left a little bit of me in you!

So, I never went to the Zoo again


 Remember the time you visited the zoo for the first time? All those different animals and birds right in front of you. Magical, wasn't it? Years later I got cancer and the doctor told me I should be extra careful. Don't go outside much, you have a higher chance of getting an infection.
So I did.
I stayed in my house most of the time. I saw my siblings, cousins, and my friends go out with others, having the time of their lives. And I thought ''How come I underestimated this all this time?''

The smaller things in life seemed to be big deals. Dreams even. I wish I could walk out and soak up all the sunlight. I wish I could go to the grocery store and buy things for myself. I wish I could ride the bike and feel the wind in my hair (I was bald). "Man...I wish I could get out of this house and walk around and touch some trees" 

"I wish my hair curled up once again" (I hated my curly hair)

Yeah...Long story short. I survived cancer. And I never wanted to see animals locked up for entertainment. I never went to the zoo again.
