तेरी आँखों में दर्द तो है मगर
मैंने बेहिसाब प्यार भी देखा है
तेरे ज़हन में ख़लिश तो है मगर
मैंने खिलता हुआ आसमान भी देखा है
इश्क़ भले ही तुझे हुआ हो पहले लेकिन
मैंने भी शिद्दत से किया है और बेशुमार किया है
एक सुकून सा है जो सिर्फ़ तुझमें मिलता है
जब भी मिल के जाता है परेशान कर देता है
मुझे देख ले और जी भर के देख ले तू
मैंने तेरी आँखों से खुद को कई बार देखा है

-

Where did you go?

I am still here…hurting, hoping, waiting

-

Oh, it has been so long, but barely any time has passed. So much has changed, yet nothing has.

15 years.

Feels like a lifetime ago, but not really.

-

Silence…long and piercing silence

What I wouldn’t do in the world to see your face once…

-

Do you miss me? Do you think about me the way I think about you?
Consistently, continually, incessantly.

Do you wish you could call me? Do you try to remember how I looked?
Sad, apologetic, wavered.

Where are you?

-

All my life
I have waited
To be loved
The way I love

-

Solitude is addictive.

-

And I want more
On most days
I am not even sure
What ‘more’ means
I love with
The strength of
The mountains
With the wrath of
The colossal storm
With the sky burning
Crimson red
I need more
A little more than
Just a few laughs
More than make-believe kisses
It burns me out
To keep loving in forevers
And be loved back in moments

-

You have been gone so long
I don’t know if I am still in love with you
Or just your memories
Or how you made me feel with your presence
But I know that my eyes still tear up at your thought
And that I miss you being here on important days of my life
We have different lives now
I don’t know what else to say or feel
But I do know you are the one I think of on hard days and desperate nights
That I cannot fully detach from you, ever
That you can spend your life with someone else but you’ll always be mine
That maybe we are soul mates, not in the way that stay together forever
But definitely in the way of forever being in my heart
My only ever home
The space in my chest that you occupy
That will never be empty because I cannot ever replace you
My true love
My forever
My eternity
And everything in between

Iloveyou!

तुझे खोने की चाहत नहीं है मेरी
इसलिए पाने की कोई ज़िद्द भी नहीं
