A Rose Is A Rose Is A Rose!

Things are as they are, not as they should be!

Time Travel

They had an argument… a heated one at that, yet again … like every other day.

These regular harsh exchanges that led them nowhere, robbed them of all the peace and happiness.

They once loved each other truly, madly, deeply. Where has that love gone, she mused.

Why is the pain refusing to leave? When did I become so bitter, he reflectedΒ  grimly.

If only she could go back in time, fix the problems of the past, their present would be beautiful, she thought.

If only he could make his present as past, the future would be perfect, he decided.

  1. Cool take in the prompt dear! Your drabbles have become like the perfect cookie one wants with their morning coffee πŸ˜€ do continue this run even after the festival!

  2. Aha!! time travel with two different takes on time, a unique take on the prompt…If they did so, please give them my email…I’d like to work the past present future to perfection too πŸ™‚

  3. I was thinking of writing on time travel, but then changed it into a train trip. This was another masterpiece from you. πŸ™‚ How do you manage to say so much with so little words? An art I would love to learn. πŸ™‚

    1. Enjoyed your train trips, Rekha! No worries, you can write about TT some other time or now is a good time too πŸ™‚
      Thanks for your kind words πŸ™‚

  4. If only he could make his present as past, the future would be perfect, he decided.

    But for this to happen both of them have to work towards it. Wish we all could go back and forth in time.

  5. That’s a different take on the prompt. I wish Time travelling would have been possible but then I don’t think I would want to change anything in my past πŸ™‚

  6. How nice it would be, if we could change the time back and experience those blissful moments πŸ™‚ Salute to you Shilpa πŸ™‚

    1. If only we replace the ‘If Only’ with ‘I Will’…. things would be much different then. Thanks Corinne, glad you liked this attempt πŸ™‚

  7. Yes , I know we all do that, but instead of travelling through time isn’t it better to live in the present and set things right, for we are not what we were in our past and the present circumstance has nothing to do with our past, so dealing with it too would require us to be in the present?
    And I don’t think we can think so easily, that all the three past, present and the future would be more or less the same. We can give our self the confidence, that in the future too if we are bombarded with problems we would deal with it accordingly in a positive manner.

  8. Alas! We are never the timekeepers, and wisdom always dawns later πŸ™‚ How nice would it be ,if we could reset our clocks and revisit the past to mould our future !! Well written, Shilpa ji πŸ™‚

    1. Well said, Sreeja. The realization dawns much later and by that time too much of damage has taken place, Wish this TT happens πŸ™‚ Thanks πŸ™‚
