I kept holding onto you, in the hope that you wouldn't slip out of my hand like sand.
But you were like a breeze, touching my skin and made me feel alive every time you passed by, yet killed me when I realised, you did slip away.-
As the poet says, I'm a melancholic musing dipped in honey that would wrench your heart yet make you smile while you wipe your tears and clench your heart.

मैं उसके ज़ख्मों पर मरहम लगातीं रह गई,
वह मेरे ज़ख्मों को कुरेदता रह गया।
मैं उसके मुस्कुराहट की वजह खुद को समझतीं रह गई,
वह किसी और की मोहब्बत में बेइंतहा डूबता रह गया ।।-
The feeling of belonging,
the hitching of my breath
in my throat,
the feeling of warmth when
being around you,
the feeling of my eyes getting
moist,
the feeling of my limbs becoming
lifeless,
the feeling of my soul being
snatched away from my body,
the feeling of my life revolving
only around you,
has stopped everytime I would
hear your name.
Maybe I've learned to finally,
live without you.

It's uncertain if you're
going to end up with the
person you're in love with.
It's uncertain if you're not
going to get hurt by the one
you love the most.
For, the one who's closest to
your heart, knows the best
way to break it.
We love selflessly.
But are we loved the same
way?-
शहर छोड़ दिया, यादों को दफन कर के
पर आज भी जब घर जातीं हूं तो,
सबसे पहले तुम्हारीं हीं यादें महकतीं हैं।-
The tear stained pages of his diary, every poem and stories he wrote about her were strangled to death just because he found someone else breathing in between her words.
