one day, you'll find the one, and it will all be worth it
~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~

i know it's devastating, getting your heart broken
while searching for the one, that magical love.
it's not your fault; love has become rare.
but one fine day
he will come along, trying to learn you.
he'll know your favourite books,
& what makes you happy.
he'll learn your favourite song
and observe how your fingers move with the rhythm.
he will watch you jumping in and out of habits,
trying new hobbies, getting bored.
and yet he'll never get enough of you.

darling, you'll be magic in someone's life
and oh! the way he will look at you,
you will know he's fascinated.
he will slowly tuck your hair behind your ear gazing at you
& in that moment you'll feel alive, you will love being alive.

he will hold you so close as if you're too precious to let go.
he will look at you just like you look at the moon.
he will kiss you like there is no place he would rather be.
he will love you so much
that it'll make you wonder if you deserve it.
& in that moment you'll feel alive, you will love being alive.

maybe you're not supposed to fix it..!
~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~

darling, it's breaking you
& you know it,
but the damage is so deep
that you're scared to look at it.
so you keep fixing things around you
but maybe, you need to run away;
maybe you're not supposed to fix it.

you deserve better
& you know it,
but you're so afraid of hope
that you'll never admit it.
so you keep making things better around you
but maybe, you need to let go;
maybe you're not supposed to fix it.

look around, the world is yours
& you have no idea what it has kept aside just for you.
darling, the life you have romanticised,
it's all yours to cease.
nothing is holding you back but you
& you know it.
so maybe, it's time,
it's time for you to let good things reach you
'cause you're most definitely not supposed to fix it.

whatever love is made of, you and i have the same..!
~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~

such an universal thing yet so different for everyone
but for you and me, it's the same;
cold like moon yet radiating the warmth of the sun.

can we ever explain it without sounding lame?
it defies understanding!
but whatever it is made of
you and i have the same..!

love makes enough sense to be understood
but never enough to be explained.
it can't be explained, not even to oneself
yet somehow we all exactly know what it is.
& whatever it is
you and i have the same..!

it changes the way you see the world,
the sun is warmer, the moon is brighter.
we imagine how love would be
but it's so different, so much better.
it makes life ecstatic
or maybe it just makes you happier
but whatever it is,
my love, you and i definitely have the same..!!

Tell me you find me fascinating enough to not give up on this
& that you'll do whatever it takes to keep me.
Tell me you're here to stay, not just for a while
but for an eternity and a day more..!

Tell me you'd rather be nowhere with me
than be somewhere beautiful without me.
Tell me you're here to love me, even when it's difficult
& not just when it feels good..!

Tell me you see me smiling at you
when you look into the future..!!

There are nights when
you just scream into your pillow..!!
~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~

You're not a part of this broken generation;
you're not even broken
& yet some nights just make you weak
when the moon doesn't excite you,
when nothing distracts you.
You cry your eyes out but that's just not enough.
You scream into your pillow and it feels a lil lighter..!

You're not a part of this lost generation;
you're not even lost
& yet some nights just make you restless.
when music doesn't soothe you,
when nothing interests you.
You cry your heart out but that's just not enough.
You scream into your pillow and it feels a lil better..!

Some nights are simply bad.
Tears are just not enough.
You scream into your pillow.

I may pretend I don't even think about you
But
Main jadon tere khwaaban wale raah turreya, 
main turreya bada na methon jaave mudeya!

Sitting close to him on the windowsill, I gazed at the moon while he was gazing at me.

"Stop staring at me! " I said.

He laughed.

"What are you staring at? ", He asked
"The moon! ", I said.
"Yeah, I see that but since so long? "
"I'm yet to figure out! "
"What? "
"How is it so beautiful! "
"Now you know why I can't stop staring at you."

I couldn't help but blush. My lips parted to say love you but I preferred keeping quiet!

Let's walk till eternity
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hold my hand and never let me go.
Love me so fiercely like there's no tomorrow!
I've been lost in your eyes ever since I saw you
You would be my one, I always knew.

I would always be by your side, I promise
My sweet surprises will leave you astonished.
I'll be there to celebrate even your smallest achivements.
I'll also be there to cheer you up in your worst days.

I would walk till eternity with you by my side
& with every step, our love will be intensified..!

Someone : How abnormal are you?

Me : I cry till exhaustion for a chocolate but won't be bothered at all if someone walks out of my life!

-

Even if someone better is there for me
I would still come looking for you.
Even if someone else understands me better
I would still share my secrets with you.
Even if someone has better jokes
I would still laugh at your lame ones.
Even if someone agrees with everything I say
I would still stubbornly argue with you.
Even if it's easy with someone else
I would still love to struggle with you.

I'll always, always choose you
'cause it's you who I love...!!
