Love - Breathe - Exist

"यादें मिठाई के डब्बे की तरह होती है,

एक बार खोला तो सिर्फ एक टुकड़ा नहीं खा पाओगे ।"

Your breath still lingers in my heart,

I saw roses you gave , discolored petals.

Gifted perfumes , happy photographs .

A collection of beautiful memories which turned stale with time,

I was going through the old cassettes ,

Broken ones,

And somehow managed to replay it by chance,

" भूलेगा दिल जिस दिन तुम्हे वो दिन ज़िन्दगी का आखरी दिन होगा। ".

My walls smirked,

Made me feel guilty about how our forevers just existed in parallel world's.

It's been years I haven't heard from you .

But your cassettes still manage to take up a tiny little space in my drawer,

And a huge amount in my heart.

Love -

I run back to the time when we first held each other, danced to the tunes

As if we meant each letter.

As if we knew our future was conspiring us,

To be to(get)her.

But suddenly things changed,

We started to wonder,

Why conversations changed into arguments,

Why silences started to turn awkward.

Time slipped by and we turned strangers .

Breathe -

I was devastated for all I remember,

My forevers painted with vibrant colours turned into a monochrome of destruction.

Our last dance and I could sense a change in the way your eyes looked at mine,

We were close yet our hearts felt the bridges we denied.

I let you go off me ,

Cause obviously I loved to see you smile.

I knew your dreams meant more to you than this reality

Exist -

I thought I couldn't ,

But I moved on.

yet I saw you again

And moved back to square one,

Maybe moving on is a lie we scream to our hearts so it knows anxiousness has to stop playing it's part.

It feels like a one sided affair now,

Everyone knew

and they started to give their monotonous reviews,

Your eyes seem discolored now,

As if it waits for someone.

You ran after your dreams,

And I wished to stay here.

Safeguard our memories and revisit them,

Dwelling every jiff in my head as if all the almonds mom made me eat ,

Paid off for our dates.

Keeping track of each day , hour and minute.

You stood beside me and we didn't utter a single word.

You adjusted your tie,

And lossened it up ,

Removed the creases of your shirt.

And sang

" भूलेगा दिल जिस दिन तुम्हे वो दिन ज़िंदगी का आखिरी दिन होगा। "

And I sighed with relief, for I knew,

You loved your dreams ,

I clutched your hand and

Held you tight.

Sometimes just knowing that someone remembers you exactly as they left you,

Leaves you with a wide smile.

Even if the love didn't last,

For a tiny moment you feel like you exist.

And maybe feelings have done their part !
