Canteen

Went to school canteen after 10 years.
Sat on the same old bench;
Same brother came and asked, "What would you like?"
I replied, "Same old friends around me."

Mistakes and Apologies

We all make mistakes. We accept we made mistakes and we move on. Traits of being a human- making mistakes and learning from them. Longing for perfection, we all tend to believe mistakes were made for reason and they taught us something. And then, just like that, we forget most of the blunders we make.  But, there are some mistakes we make, which we do not forget at all. We know we made it, we regret it from the pit of the stomach. We think of it every single day, and cannot make through even a day without having a thought of it. It kills us, or the wills we carry. Thinking of all the people affected by one single decision of yours, one single error you made. Then comes a light, when you are assured, it's okay. Victims or the affected, pulls you out of that very pit you created on your own. The same person carries the weight you'd been carrying so long. All you can do is stare and smile. Then you realize, until you gather your courage to accept all the flaws, you'll

A Sleeping Heart

Love, I have no better salutation for you. For you are much more than words. Have you ever watched anyone sleep love? From start to the deepest of level you reach. Have you ever? I am watching you sleep right now love. Online, but I am watching you. I've never watched anyone sleep before, but I can tell you, I'll never feel this peaceful even if I do watch someone else.

I am whispering like stupid that I love you on my earphones right now. I would have wanted you to hear what I say, but you know them anyway. It's peaceful. Everything. The rhythmic rise and fall of your blanket, your closed eyes and your hand under your cheek,

Hands

You should see me walk now, Or, maybe you shouldn't But I know you would not recognize me, or at least stare for a minute before having a hint. Buy, If you see me walking, on these streets where I once imagined walking with you. Hand in hand, like we once did, The road leading to your house; Carefree- it never mattered who were all around. The only thing we thought about was how your hands, fit so perfectly in mine. Because it was all just fine. I was always fine. But, Those hands that once held yours They rest restlessly in my pockets now; In a town, that is mine but is new. On these streets, that aren't but feels new. Sounds awful, But, it’s heavy to stay standing For my heart is half the size When you’re gone. You know, You should see me walk now, Or, maybe you shouldn't. I have forgotten to know things, Like, how it's like to walk and know where you're walking to; Know where you want to end up And just simply go there. I'
