Sometimes, just a meeting with one person is enough and sometimes, not even hundreds of meetings with someone else can give you that joy, that peace the other one gives you, no matter what.
Weird it is, isn’t it?

ये जिंदगी के, दिन कितने कम है
कितने हैं खुशियाँ, और कितने गम है
पर इन सब में ही तो तू और मैं ढूँढते “हम” हैं
ये प्यार भी बड़ा पागल सा है,नाराज़ तू है और बेचैन हम हैं।

Maybe in two years
maybe in five
maybe in ten
and sometimes, maybe when you have no years left on stakes
You realise that, not facing the problem only lets the problem have the audacity to look you in the face.
You realise that maybe facing them was a better option and maybe conversating was better than all those concoctions.
There comes a time when you realise that, the things you were running away from aren’t really running away from you. You might leave them far away, but they still exist, some where in some time, hidden from the range of your eyes but never really hiding.
Sometimes, you do. Sometimes, you don’t. Sometimes, you don’t want to.
You see, some people predict the weather and stay home, some people feel the droplets falling onto their skin and run away to find the shelter, some people simply get wet.

I am going to hold on tightly to
time
As I in all my senses believe that
The time will get me by.

Life
Life was there with you
From the very beginning
Even before you saw this world with those little eyes
Even before you learnt how to sit, crawl and walk
Even before the first time you felt sad and cried in vain
Even before someone left you and you heard the sound of your heart break
Even before you failed all the attempts after giving it a several takes
So you see,
Life was and is there for you
Life didn’t let you go when you wanted to let go of it
Life never gave up on you
It’s time, that you too, don’t.

You once asked me
How am I different
How am I not like her
I never gave an answer
Because I never had one
Atleast the one that would fit your preference
But here it goes;
She might compliment you upon how fly you look
How your hair looks perfect and your body? Oh, always in shape
But
I’ll take my time to compliment your eyes
So majestic under the sunlight
And how after, the smile that comes
Making your eyes twinkle making me believe that the stars do come out in the sun.
She might tell you ways on how to handle your problems, how to keep trying
But
I’ll stand with you through them, always be your spine.
She would ask you what’s your result after the exam
But
I’ll never have to ask, my faith is enough to tell me you’d excel in any task.
She may give you goosebumps upon what she says or does
But
I’ll give you the sensations so strong, with every breath, you’d feel your heart beat burst.
She may refuse coming out to the lawn that night, when it’s cold
But
I’ll count the shimmering stars with you wrapped around me even after the air gets old.
She might be ready to untuck her pants and keep her clothes aside
But
I’ll be ready to give up all my ego, take off all my pride.
She may try finding a forever which will probably fall apart
But
I’ll make it happen, make it last.
She might not mess with you to stop fights
But
I’ll fight with you just like you’re mine.

There are infinite stars in the sky
Then why am I sad about not seeing them with you by my side?
There is so much beauty in pain
Then why are we separated because of just some strain?
They say, if they love you, they will let you go
Then why are the fairytales so beautiful on the show?
When you said you won’t give up on me
Then why is it my dear, that you left?
If there’s more love in letting go
Then why don’t people fancy death?
All I have read until now seems total hoax to me
As people write what they find comfort in
Because in reality, poetry works as a coax to each.

What I have seen is that,
Everything is finite
Love is finite
Friendship is finite
People are finite
Happiness is finite
Sadness is finite
Life is finite.
Don’t worry
You run out of everything,
eventually.

You know you are in trouble
When someone’s absence has your eyes filled with tears the whole time
When everytime you have to smile, it feels like you might start crying
Has that ever happened to you?
If not, you are really lucky
And
If yes, then I am sorry
I understand how it feels like
How you feel that there’s a void in your chest
Which nothing would be able to fulfil
How you want yourself to detach from the world
In complete isolation
Until that one person comes back
But
Time passes, as it always does
And you start to fall in love all over again
This time, with the loneliness
And this time, it’s hard
Hard to choose between
The one who wasn’t there when you needed him the most
and the one
Who was always there for you
Now,
The choice, is yours
and mine
We will see who wins this time!

But it just
It just always feels like
I am starting to build up in a poetry
I would rather keep untouched.

Why is it that our lips and eyes never speak of the same thing?
