The moon wasn't beautiful anymore.
The stars refused to shine.
The night was dark.
And it was darker than I had thought.

When the days are dark and the nights are distressing
When I look for a disguised blessing,
When I try to keep up the masquerade of being happy
And when my life gets a bit scrappy,
That's the time I can count on you
And oh my darling,
You're no less than a dream come true!

-

When you tickled my neck with your fingers
I started flying
Even without wings
As if I were a leaf, so light
That got carried away by the wind.
No, you didn't touch me
You landed in my soul instead.

-

Close your eyes and jump with me
In the river of sorrows
Or perhaps an ocean of ecstasy
Who knows what will it turn out to be?
But I promise to give you wings
And make you rise with me.
You just need to close your eyes and trust me
For lots want to soar
But none is ready to fall with me.

-

You left
But your memories keep visiting me,
Knocking my heart's door.
But even my heart is obstinate enough
Not to let them enter
For it is not ready yet
To go through the trauma
And the reason being you, again!

-

Does a place exist
Where we wake up to the orange hued rays of sunrise kissing us
Where we sit for hours under the seemingly empty sky, stretched out for infinity
Where the cool breeze tickles us
And the light rain drops drench us in love
Does that place exist
Where even the nature conspires to keep us together till eternity?

-

They say
A peaceful slumber is all it takes.
Yet everyday, she wakes up all upset
Reminding herself for the umpteenth time
That he is gone.
Perhaps, the string of memories,
Unlike her heart,
Is too vigorous to be broken!

-

Lying under the stars together,
I can talk to you for hours
Reminiscing about the times we fought
And how you used to croon to me to make things up
But you know what do I love the most about you?
You promised to be with me till eternity
And if not you, your spirit has kept the promise.

-

Played the same song over and over again.
My heart wanted to cry and smile at the same time wondering how a song could be so expressive.

"Was it particularly written for me? "
"No silly. Many hearts get broken and you're no exception", I smirked.

As I stepped on the stage, chills ran down my spine. Seeing him after almost two years and that too as a randomly selected dance partner, left me gobsmacked.
As he pulled me closer, I could see the same spark in his eyes.
The way he lifted me, touched me and grabbed my waist, a feeling of exhilaration swept through me. The gracefulness of our dance was evident for there was reflection of love in it!
