I know you couldn't love me
I know you couldn't care for me I like I did of you
I know I am not the person you to talk all the time
I know I am not someone you really think about
I know I can be forgotten in a crowd
I know I can ......

But a few moments, in a few moments or just a moment to remember

Where I made you feel loved
Where I made you feel cared for
Where you just talk and talk and I just listen
Where you find me in a crowd
Where we smile at each other
Where we cry and laugh
Where the silence in peaceful

It's silent now
It's grows with the distance
It's not peaceful but chaotic in your head
There's a lot of voices asking lot of questions
The answers to which you try to find

It's a muted silence

One World

The silence of this weather takes me to you
I paint the scenarios far fetched from reality
With each passing sunset
You hold more and more strings of this hopeless heart

You look adorable with each passing day
I see you from the other world
And I got used to this distance between us
The feeling of longitude takes prominence

If both of our worlds come together
I am scared of it
The shackles of doubts will start to cloud my fancied reality
And this heart will become more troubled

We will draw boundaries with fears and uncertainties
And the distance will still be there
It will be different this time
Reflected in the struggle of sighs and stoic eyes — % &

Are we waiting for each other's messages
Or it's just me staring at the blank screen with a blank expression
Mindlessly scrolling through the virtual reality
Waiting for the time to pass by

Is there any truth in this virtual reality
Is it true, what we say to each other
It might be true but it has added layers to it
Nothing is simple like this, we just keep revolving around

I can't see your beautiful eyes even if I could see your face
I can't listen your laughter even if I hear it sometimes
I want to write you letters but I guess you have accepted me in these
four walls of virtual reality

We are in a cage
With a lot of illusions and ease
Even love has become shallow
Like the dried up ponds instead of a deep lost ocean — % &

Hopeless Romantic

A hopeless romantic wanders the streets
He steps on the pavement
To buy a bunch of sunflowers
He plays the trumpets and sings a song

The love that he jumps for
Is out of reach but he still takes a leap
He adore her with slight shenanigans
And submits his attention to her will

He becomes blind but still can't hold her hand
So he follows her voice and smile
He will write letters and offer more sunflowers
But he doesn't wait for a reply

His heart is meant to be a hopeless romantic
Even if it's marred with dreams and desires
He learns to shy away the expectations but can't control his dreams
because things are possible in the dreams which are not in the reality

Through the Window

The Morning hues reminds me of her
She is as vibrant as a sunflower
Her face has a glow which is hard to resist
Her smile has a radiance that warms my heart

The melody of the birds take me to her
It's not easy to find the owner to such melodies even though we know where they are
Just like her, living in her own beautiful world

We are caged in the four walls
Not of the hard cemented storeys
But of the devices burning away our eyes
It's become a window showing more than what we need to see

I look at her through this window
Burning myself away for her longing
She sits there in my mind
Painting scenarios which die as they reach this melted heart

-

I wish we were on the same path
Walking towards each other
Coming together and holding our hands
Matching our footsteps as we move forward

But
Our paths run parallel
I can see you through the gaps between the green cover and
maybe you see me
I see you and smile from a distance
And I find my solace in that

Sometimes there's a river between us
The river is silent sometimes
Sometimes it's harsh
I want to build a bridge across it

I wish to take a stroll with your hand in mind
With your voice filling my surroundings mixed
with the ruffling of trees
and the calling of the birds
I want to look into your eyes and keep walking
because I don't want to see what lies ahead.

-

She has become a muse
Trickling down the strings of heart
She is always there within my mind
I could see her smiling and laughing

The memories I have with her
Have started to define my present
They are shared at the moment with people
She is all I can think about

-

The night lamp is burning
Moon's awake and shining
Like a beacon of hope in the winter sky
It's accompanied by the twinkling stars

I wait for her like a sunflower
Silent in the shadows of its woody neighbors
I can see her with my eyes closed
And hear her laughter

I could feel her through the music
In the cricket's orchestra
In the cold winds I sit
Your thoughts spreading a warmth

I could wait
Until the sun rises and sets again
Until the springs come and the winter comes again
I want to wait

-

Shelter

I took shelter under the uncertainties
Looking outside the window
Where the world is unconcerned
It looks the same always

Searching for her amidst this chaos
I wait with a thoughtful gaze
She will come this way I know
She will pass by me

I want to be invisible
Hiding in my shelter
But never want to lose my sight on her
She's the light that fills my eyes

The sun went down again
The sunflower might never look up
It might never see me
Staring at her with longing

-

She looked different today
More out of the shoes and beautiful
The wanting grew stronger
But the distance remained

Her eyes speaks a lot
I get lost in them
They are clear like her soul
And exciting like her charm

Not even a minute since she left
I miss her
Trying to find her amongst the rows of buses or sometimes in the sunlight peeping through the trees

This head titls alone
Waiting for a shoulder to fall upon
I want to sleep
Sleep peacefully in her arms
