Imagine being with someone who
would stop the car, park it,
walk out of it and tipsy toe
only to hug you from behind
while you're sitting in the drizzle
with wind blowing in your hair
and earphones plugged in.
Takes your hand,
Asks you how your day was,
Asks you if you were ok
and drives you home,
not forgetting to kiss you and say
"don't go...want some ice cream?"

maybe I'll finally pick up my pen
and draw those fallen words
whose ink did bleed between fingers
filled with papercuts made from love

-

The leftover ink in an almost empty pen

-

Loving you is like
leaving my favourite book unread
in the fear that it will end

-

It wasn't that the sky was empty
Your fog had clouded my vision
It wasn't that there was no water
Your mist had deserted my mind
It wasn't that I liked walking alone
Your hand had left mine long ago
And it wasn't that I felt nothing
My heart, just couln't bear it more

-

Shh, just quiet down
It shouldn't seem much
but just settle down
Remember how I landed on the sand
and dipped my feet in the sea?
Well, now it's pulling me in,
deeper and deeper
Holding me tight
as I desperately try to wriggle away
Greed, that's what they called it,
my mind craving for the endless depths
till it touched the ocean feet
I tallied my days hoping to come out
but this was bliss in its own way

-

It was then that the sand stopped swallowing me
I had caught the hand of someone who
wanted me to enjoy the roaring sea

Every second I spent with you
felt like feeling everything twice
The more the silence grew between us,
the lesser was all the noise

-

Be there with me when the world isn't
because you're my safe spot
