Ab chaand ki itni awkaat kahan,
Ke koi uss jaise nacheez ki misaal
Tumhe dey sakey.

I gave my heart to a bird,
And asked her to fly to you.
If ever one morning you open your window
and find her awaiting you,
Don't turn away.
Take your time,
Call her inside when your heart is ready.
Accept her gift when your wounds have all healed.
Don't send her away,
For she will never leave.
She'll forever wait,
To give you what I failed to keep.

I remember the first time it rained,
Along the petrichor rose a subtle pain.
With every drop fell the promises you made,
Shattering my happiness and leaving a dark trace.
Today it rains still,
But the downpour has now turned into a gentle drizzle.
Perhaps there is hope one day,
That the only drops to fall will belong to the rain.

-

She was the light,
Unafraid of the dark.
Invaded his veiled heart,
Rid him of the dark past.
Decided to take control,
Made him fall too fast.


He was too dark,
Longed for the light she had.
Allowed her to see past,
His many haunted masks.
Let her take control,
Yearned for the irreversible fall.

-

I've got scars,
You do too.
Marks from the past,
Adorn me
As well as you.
Yet you refuse;
Refuse that we could be 'us',
Me and you.

-

I'm a meteor that burns,
You're the place I fall upon.
Keep searching for each-other,
Despite knowing the outcome.

Maybe, we're all a little in love with the moon.
Sharing our tears with it,
Hoping someone else is
Crying under its light too.
Maybe, we're all a little
Intrigued by the moon,
Mesmerized, by how well it hides its dark side,
Wishing we could do it too.
Maybe, we pity the beautiful moon.
Wonder, how it copes with loneliness and think,
Do the stars bully it for being different, too?
Maybe, just maybe.
We all admire the moon.
For being different and lonely,
Wishing we were like it, too.

He watched while she cried, far too afraid to hold her. But she knew he was there for her. That's all that mattered.

-

The day when you finally took my hand, I complied fearfully. Afraid of the girl I could never be. Afraid of how much better you deserve. Afraid of the moment when I will finally have to let go.

-

We were just messing around, flirting. But then you fell for me. I watched you turn from the confident boy I knew, to a nervous wreck of a man. You fumbled for the right words, as you longed to confess your love. Somewhere between chasing the stars to you chasing me, unintentionally, I too fell for you. That was the start of us.
