Handcrafted Mistakes and Midnight Creativity Ltd.

Do you want to hear a story? 
Well I'll tell you one. 

A while ago on a dark dark night, when I had had too much coffee
and was just about to take a break, 
I made a character. 

A character with adjectives for bones
and ideas for flesh, 
with a 'Handcrafted Mistakes and Midnight Creativity Ltd.'  
label on the back of her head. 
A character that perhaps reflected me a little too well. 

We had coffee and discussed the world. 
Her frizzy hair bounced when she talked, just like mine. 
We laughed the same weird laughter. 

But somehow she was more 'me' than I could be.

Her craziness and creativity surpassed mine by a notch.

We shook our hands and met only a few times again. 

Perhaps she was a part of me, that I had lost somewhere along the way. 

I realised for some reason we don't meet much anymore. 


Well, so I called her today for another mug of coffee, 
we chatted for hours and danced till our feet ached. 
I realised just how much I'd missed her. 

I ended the meet with a sliver of hope, hope that over time we'll join hands and become one once again.
