கார்மேகங்களும் கரைந்தது,
என் கண்ணீர் பார்த்து!
கண்களை மூடி கொண்டேன்; இருந்தும் சாரலாய்
என் இமைகளை நனைத்தது.
எனக்கு நடிக்க தெரியவில்லை; ஆனால், அவன் விழிகள்
நனைக்க விரும்பவில்லை!
விதியின் விதிகள்,
நம் வாழ்விற்கு மற்றும் தானோ?

கண்கள் திறந்தும்
கனவில் வாழ்கிறேன்!
காண கிடைத்தும்
கலபத்துடன் கதைகிறேன்!
வார்த்தைகள் நிறைந்தும்
வானத்தில் உலவுகிறேன்!
மனதைத் திறந்தும்
மர்மத்துடன் உரையாடுகிறேன்!
கொல்லையளவு காதலித்தும்
குறையளவாய் நடிக்கிறேன்!
இவனென அறிந்தும்
இருக்கமாய் இருக்கிறேன்!
பலவீனமாய் உணர்ந்தும்
பவ்யமாய் உள்ளழைக்கிறேன்!
அனுக நினைத்தும்
அளவுடன் ஆர்ப்பரிக்கிறேன்!
தீண்டத் துடித்தும்
தனிமையில் கரைகிறேன்!

For the first time, love doesn't feel like a burden,
And unloving the person isn’t an option.
Every time I look back at the memories,
I don’t find closure—though it was crystal clear.

I still wish to decipher the words behind every sigh,
To decode each silenced breath of yours.
Even the longest pause between conversations
Nourishes this soul, as if it’s been longing for just that.

Living in the moment feels momentarily fleeting;
A lifetime commitment can look like a grave mistake.
I understand the difficult spot I’ve placed you in.
This stubborn heart won't ask for responses anymore—

It's simply in love with the wholesomeness of this journey.
It just wanted to feel the rain, without hiding under the roof this time.
And though struck by thunderstorms, the lightning still led me—
Lighting the path, when everything seemed lost.

-

I remember the day I secretly hoped
To witness the fireworks,
Leaning on your shoulder,
Wrapped in the quiet of your arms.

I still wait for the day
To lie side by side with you—
To fall in love with you,
Not the moon anymore.

I don’t know why I like you so much.
All I see is the divine you carry—
The silence, the calm within,
Your words, so carefully chosen not to wound me.

They say a prince will come
To sweep you off your feet.
But I never wished for a prince—
I only wished for you,
The you who cannot resist love.

I hear the loudest cry of my heart
Each time you whisper goodbye.
All I ever wanted to say was: I miss you.
Every moment with you felt like a verse the stars wrote for me.

-

Oh Universe, did you pour down
To give me a heads-up!?
Did you thunder severely,
To sync with the beat of my heart!?

Were the confessions part of your plan!?
Don’t you want me to carry this love!?
Why did you treat me with the sweetness, though—
If you just wanted to break me so hard?

The pain is so sharp; the heaviness so real.
Can’t bear it with a smile anymore.
Can’t silence the melancholy it’s singing;
It’s hitting me deeper than anticipated.

Were the lighter breeze your sympathy!?
Even the cold air didn’t give me warmth.
I couldn’t fill in the silences with peace;
I could neither stay back nor leave the place.

Signals from the brain are too strong to shut down.
Sing me a lullaby; soothe me with your kindness.
Are you teaching something behind this ache?
Nevertheless, this day is sleepless!

-

Hold on to me a little longer;
I can hear my heartbeat—chords.
There weren’t any stars when we saw—
Even the shining stars knew
They couldn’t do justice to this sparkling.

Why do you look more beautiful everytime I see you?
Why does my name sound sweeter everytime you call?

Could I just steal one more glance of you?
Stand still—don’t sway away.
Let me get locked in your eyes;
Let this moment speak, while the time passes by.

-

The provoking thoughts of you that won’t let me go.
The eyes that keep searching every corner,
The fragrance I imagine breathing.

The heartbeats that remind me of the love left unspoken.
The distance that lingers between us.
The hidden lies we built together.
The illusion that left us isolated.

The souls still waiting for the universe’s blessing.
The confusion—will there ever be a confession?
Waiting—though you may never be found.

-

Why did you bring me up as a genuine soul!?
Why do I always feel the urge to tell the truth!?
Why am I being honest in this judgemental world!?
Why do I trust people even after seeing their true colors!?
Why do I care them as a family and believe in their words!?
Why do I forget things that pushed me to an edge!?

நினைவுகள் ஓராயிரம்,
கடந்திட தேவையில்லை
கற்பனையில் வாழவில்லை,
காண்பது நூறாயிரம்.
நடந்ததை விட, நிகழ்வதைக்
கொண்டாடும் நேரம்!

-

I know life is full of surprises...
I know it is merciless too...
but I never imagined...
a day would come...
to steal my essential...
just to cease my entire world...

Daring to utter...
in your presence...
that I no longer see my reflection in your eyes...
will the universe bear its consequences?
