Jumping into the Ocean

“Maybe sometimes it is better to stop scooping water out of a sinking ship and just for once, jump into the scary ocean” We had drifted apart, yet there we were still sitting together on the couch, maybe for the last time. The silence suffocating us. For a long moment, she held on to my

Fear of losing You

I wrestle with the fear of losing you, when we were never really together. It’s like I’ve grown used to the idea of you being a part of my life. Maybe it’s because I’ve gotten used to the feeling of being invisible in the relationship. But even amidst the silence, your absence leaves a noticeable

The Moon in the Sky

 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹. I would say, “𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝘀𝗸𝘆, 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘀” In the quiet of the night, with a cigarette dangling between my fingers, I find myself staring at the moon, thinking of you. The world dissolves into a blurry mess, and it’s just

Last Night

I was cleaning my shelf and had this Anuv Jain playlist on shuffle. Just a when a picture slid off the diary, and the words hit like a truck. “Dekho Dekho Kaisi Baatein Yahan Ki Hai Saath Par Hain Saath Na Bhi” There are these unforgiving nights like last night when nothing seemed to be

Why She had to Leave

Across the coffee shop, she’s a stranger in a familiar frame. The silence between us is a physical thing, suffocating. We used to be the soundtrack to each other’s lives. Now, her “Hey, how are you?” are like echoes in a forgotten room. I search for the version of the same girl I fell for,

Looking at Her

In that moment, she gazes eagerly at the screen, engrossed in the movie. As you observe her, moving closer marveling at her beauty. You catch a whiff of her favorite scent, an aroma that feels like home. The desire to lean against her becomes irresistible, and as she subtly leans towards you, may be that

What We could have been

“𝗜 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱’𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀?  𝗜𝗳 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀, 𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗮𝘆. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗼𝗸𝗮𝘆. 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲.” We give the wrong people, the best version of ourselves. In this

We share the same sky

Once, we manifested a love so beautiful, didn’t we?  We were under the same sky, but our worlds seemed worlds apart. Perhaps that’s where we stumbled, maybe you were the right person at the wrong time. I watched you walk away, knowing it was the last time I’d see you. Years have passed since you

Since the last time we met

Time wasn’t really fleeting by since the last time we met. “We” isn’t really the right term, more like I had a glimpse ? A brief moment that left me longing for more. And since then it’s been 6 days, 8 hours, and 44 minutes. I’ve been eagerly waiting to see you once more. With

For all time, always!

Hey there… I’m pretty sure you already know how I feel, right? There’s no need for me to keep on repeating myself, shouting out “I Love You”. I see it in your eyes when you steal glances at me while I’m smiling. Maybe the next time we meet, I’ll just let Frank Sinatra play softly
