That very first day, I remember
Quite fascinating you looked,
The effect lasted way over december,
And still you always leave me shook.

Lover, lover,
Please let me in,
Make my heart leap,
Under your skin.

There I was,
Like a sheer blunder,
When you came in my door,
Just like raging thunder.

I'm still just trying to,
Make our ends meet,
And have not the smallest idea,
When we'll find our own single fleet.

Raging through the walls,
Of expanding space an time,
I'll always try to make,
Our lives entangle and rhyme.

Playing life as a game of chances,
Just like that of blind darts,
Would you like to be beside me,
Till only death do us part?

-

It's been a long journey,
Longer than I could ever have hoped,
You sparked it in me so early,
In your joy, I'm completely soaked.

That day when you stumbled upon me,
Maybe I should have thought,
Before I made you,
The only one, that I sought.

My heart is full,
My mind is blown,
I want to say things I shouldn't, but
My mouth is just trying to explode.

I try to help you have a smile now,
But I've never been the one to reach out,
All things I do are a letdown,
I feel I always make the wrong choice.

Maybe, finally I made the right one,
Since you are here, dangling along,
And beside you, I've never been alone,
Even if nothing's going on.

Whether it's a long day,
Or a crippling night,
You're the only one,
Always on my mind.

-

The world's going to end tomorrow,
And I can recall all of our past,
So, tell me, can I finally borrow,
Your love, as tonight's the last?

Those years ago, when it came,
I embraced it, though being young,
And now it's here again,
Needing me again to be blunt.

If, unfortunately, there's afterlife,
I'll surely come looking along,
Just trying to find you, maybe,
We'll be free of the world's bonds.

All this time that I've known you,
I've only wanted to repel,
As I know, there's no us,
Yet, I always end up to rebel.

I'm sorry again for each time,
I behaved cheaper than a dime,
You tried fixing me, instead
I didn't want to be fine.

I wanted the world's rules to bend,
But instead, only found sorrow,
Finally, tomorrow's the end,
I promise, you'll be the one, I follow.

-

Some things only happen,
When you're there, to not even expect,
Without knowing how it'll all end,
You're left in the middle, to introspect.

In the beginning, it seems you're in full control,
But as the time flows by, you start noticing,
That there's no turning back,
Since the pain is so enticing.

You can't run,
You can't hide,
Once it catches up,
It hits like a huge tide.

Slowly, making a hole inside you,
Steadily, filling it without you knowing,
It only keeps fooling you,
And it's left there, forever showing.

Can't even begin to understand,
If it's a boon or a bane,
It just keeps bringing to you,
More and more of the enticing pain.

But it's fine, you can bear that, right?
No. Never. It just seems so.
This won't ever go, even with the hardest fight,
There must be some way, though?

-

It was a regular day,
Everywhere, there was floating hay,
You made my mischievous eyes, finally stop,
And confunded into never letting go.

One season passed, and without a single fork,
The second eloped with the doubt of lost hope.
There, we were making our mends again,
When we lost each other yet again.

The third season came along,
And we got a lot of space,
But in the end you stepped out,
And put smiles on our face.

The fourth yet again, a repeat of the second,
We're again down darker paths,
Maybe trying to find one another?
And now, just can't wait a new chapter to start.

Now looking back, I can recall
All those memories without a picture,
That, I hope, are not permanently stuck,
Or it'll make this life, a living death, this fixture.

The fear has now started to emerge,
Our time together is about to end,
Just a couple more seasons, and then,
Down to two opposite paths,
Just hoping of them ever intersecting.

-

मोहब्बत आज भी वही इबादत की गुनहगार है,
वो तो सिर्फ इंसान ने इसे जिस्मों से जोड़ दिया है,
इश्क़ अब भी वहीं कहीं पनप रहा,
कमबख्त इंसान ने ही इसकी खूबसूरती को निचोड़ लिया है।

-

Taking a step back, turning around,
Looking at the you, whom I've let down,
The damage is done, such a disgrace,
To such an extent, that I can't replace.

These are the things my mind tells me,
These are the things my heart says,
These are the thoughts that've left me hopeless,
These are the times, I think, there's no way.

I'm again left away, so beat,
Still recalling you're the treat,
They say it's time to end this feat,
Deep down, l know I won't ever retreat.

Your name's the first word I say,
Your names the only and last,
Reminding me of you all day,
The sun goes down, so fast.

Even when you're so close by,
It's necessary, I don't try,
I'd never want to just pry,
Even if at the end, I'll have to cry.

But as long as we are breathing,
We can start all over again,
Since our hearts are still beating,
We will start all over again.

-

All these months I've been telling myself,
I didn't really care about you,
Because, when you left, it was so sudden,
And I was left with some time too.

But as much as I like,
Telling myself I'm strong on my own,
The truth is, I'm so lonely,
Always wanting to call you on the phone.

I mightn't just come and offer you a rose,
You too mustn't care to propose,
Still we'll always be there,
Looking out for one another, on any and every pose.

You ask for a present,
And I'm not there,
So when I ask for a hug,
That too isn't fair.

Round and round we go in circles,
Running across in joyful strides,
Still, don't know why it always happens,
It's just followed by meaningless fights.

The world has no idea what is,
Pumping deep down these covers,
Hope, one day, not caring about others,
We could be more, than just part-time lovers.

-

Some people can impact you,
In so much less of time, than those,
Who have been here, don't know since when,
Standing in a long line.

Just like that you came in,
Bringing in your long streak of charm,
And did to me, what I never expected,
You brought a fire to my world so calm.

There were always moments,
Tesing us being in tune.
Once I even forgot your voice,
So much separation can do to you.

It's hard to miss you,
When you're always on the tip of my tongue,
Especially when I'm looking,
For something that'll never come.

Being here able to recall,
This humongous, magnanimous fall,
Makes me wonder so much hard,
Why does it have to be so bizarre?

And now I wait for tomorrow,
As if you'll let us go through,
As if I'll not burn it all down,
As if they'll ever let us be.

-

When I opened my door to you,
At first, I expected the world,
Whenever I've seen you since,
I've wondered, you're just a girl.

Things were slow at the start,
And slowly too we started to part,
But here we are now, wondering,
Is it at the right place, our heart?

You had become my purpope,
All I saw in you were stars,
Well, of course, we need shelters,
As we've both got our own scars.

They say it's not rightly placed, my devotion
But how do I explain this emotion?
It's a strong acting force, that simply,
Prevents the passing time being wrinkly.

Every new day, you fill me with doubts,
Yet the next, take away all the frowns.
I'm ashamed to question it so often,
But, with ups and downs, the pain softens.

You know you always,
Stop me dead when I am passing by.
So take your hands and, darling,
Place them both in mine.
