This is where it started - a cacophony of rhythms finely tuned to render a softness that tugged at heartstrings. I played the drum, John and Sheila handed the vocals, Brian made the synthesizer his own while the Kelvin twins ruled the guitars.
And then, love happened, and bonds broke.
Sheila and I weren't meant to be together, but we didn't know it then. As the initial romance died, differences crept in. Gradually, love ended, and so did the band.
Fifteen years have passed, and the memories still resonate; only if love wasn't there, only if life had been fairer.

This is AMAZING.
ReplyDeletePlease forward me the links that I have missed Amrit.
Thanks Sakshi :-)
DeleteDear Amrit,
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Friday Fictioneers.
Interesting that he looks back and realizes that he and Sheila weren't meant for each other. Life is what happens to you while your busy making other plans.
Shalom,
Rochelle
