One-Sided Crush

I think this one-sided crush
will fade like the waves in the ocean—
loud when they reach the shore,
but forgotten as they fall back into silence.

She Was the Story, He Was Just a Page


He loved her
like the last day of autumn —
knowing she'd leave,
but holding on
as if his hands could change the season.

She wasn’t just a chapter —
she was the entire book
he never finished,
because he kept rereading
the parts where she smiled.

He built a world around her absence,
talked to her like she still listened
in the silence of 3 a.m. walls,
replied to old messages
just to feel alive in the ruins.

But to her,
he was a moment —
a page she turned
without reading twice,
a sentence that never made her pause.

He broke quietly,
in places she never looked.
While she moved on,
light-footed,
as if his love was never heavy enough to hold her.

He was waiting
in the story she left behind.
And she —
she never looked back
to see if it ended.

Ignorance

I hate how it always ends up like that.
How I get ignored for several hours.
And reply within a few seconds.
To think that you didn’t care as much as I do.
Engraves a sense of solitude in my heart.
I can’t call myself anything but a fool.
To hopelessly stare blankly at a screen.
How can I have these emotions, however?
Every day I greet you like it’s never the last time.
Reminiscing, overthinking but never hating you.
Ever wondered if you noticed those emotions………………? (will you ever do?)

Mazh Pahil Prem

Pahilyanda pahata kshani tula mi,
Kuthetari harvale…
Man tuzyat gahivarle…
Pratyek shwas bharavla,
Tu distach, 
Majhya manatil pratyek disha unchavlya...

Vichar kela kadhi tuzyashi bolaycha,
Pan manatle bhav, kadhi jibhevarche shabd nahi tolayche…
Tu distach, mi lapayche…
Swatahla savarayche…
Vatayche kadhi konala kalal tar,
Ka mahiti swatahlya tyach kshani kase japayche...
Manala kase sambhalayche...

Shuddhshah, avaghe 5 varshe mi swatah la samjavat rahile...
Swatahsobat ekatech bolat rahile...
Aaj matra to divas ujadala…
Dhadas karun sangun takle…
Ho, mi tuzyat adakle...
Tu mala shabdashah faslach!
Ho, XYZ, tu mala faslach!!!

Tuzyat adakle mi!
Tuzya prem jalat mi guntle...
Guntvalas re tu mala...

Raindrops and You

Droplets of rain softly fell on the field,
I stand under the roof's shield,
Waiting for you to make a move,
In the quietness, your words to prove.

The world is quiet, sky is grey,
In my heart, there's much to say.
Do you feel the way I do?

Each drop that falls, a gentle sign,
Wishing for you to look at mine.
In this rain, our hearts might find,
The courage to leave silence behind.

As the rain dances around us near,
It whispers to us clear.
In this moment, let feelings flow,
In the rain, love saplings will grow.

The unsent message

Staring at the screen, a message unspoken Parallel universes whisper, 'what if?' unbroken Should I send it, or let it fade? A choice that echoes through the cosmic shade

What we have is amazing, a love so true But what we could have is tremendous, waiting anew A possibility that beckons, a chance to explore A universe of what-ifs, forever in store

Sunspotting You

you’re bright 
so dazzlingly, overwhelmingly bright;
you’re the sun that sears the sky and
all the earth can only stare

i want to hold you
to cup you in my hands
 to feel your warmth between my 
palms and see your light run through my fingers

for the rest of my life, i want to have you with me
to warm away the winter chill and light up the night
but it hurts- 
it hurts too much to bear 

the you who burns brighter than the sun— who burns 
my eyes with your shine— the you who hurts
too much to hold
i can’t ever have you in my life

i want to avert my eyes
to forget your light
but you’re just so bright
you’re too brilliant-

 i can’t ever look away

The Lover's Leap

The Lover’s Leap


I know he never loved me.
If he did, he would have stopped me
Or taken me by the hand, the waist, the leg
And yet he dropped me.

He made me use my own two feet to run
To skip, to leap and run
To tasteless fantasies until my heart 
And soul were gone and done.

I reached his heart, I thought, I hoped
But it was just his hand 
I’m strung up in his nimble, charming hand
My hope buried in sand.

And yet this love, this fleeting, fiery love
The one that fills my soul enough 
To overflow out of the nut that’s 
Not so tough now

But then it is so tough so tough
So tough he promptly left
He left and laughed and let a laugh out
In my stupid crying face.

And when I made the jump, 
The tip, the hem, the dress’ end was caught
In fingers long forgotten, still despised
And yet I never fought.

I am alive. You win again.

HE AND HIS PRESENT

After quite long I again saw those eyes
And it felt like there are still some butterflies
It was like my feelings got another rise
I lost one more time, from where it all arise.
I can see myself still desiring to wait
To just have a glance, outside the school gate
Observing your each giggle and every trait
How do I get out of this unpleasant state
I force myself to present
Try to forget each moment
But then I see you with your present
Your head in her hands, with something so pleasant
that you shine so nice, and she deserves your peasant
I know she is the best match for you
So best that I do not have a clue
You are happy with her and that is true
I accept it, fitting myself in your shoe.

One-Sided Love

I fell for you.
Only you.
You returned that feeling,
oh so long you returned the feeling.
You never once lost love for a second.
Until you met her.
You gave her what I begged for.
You gave her more love,
more attention,
then you gave me.
I begged the universe,
“Please keep him in my life,
I need him, I love him.”
But in the end,
you left me,
for her.
You lost the feelings you had,
that you so happily returned before.

One Sided Lover

You said I fall in love too quickly,
and id have to say you're right.
Sometimes I just look in her eyes, 
and everything feels right.

To me she's like cars to a road,
what the sand is to a shore,
to me she's not just a person,
she's much much more.

I keep it as a secret,
I wonder what they'd say.
Its quite a controversial story,
but without her all I see is grey.

She says were just friends, 
those words cut me deep.
Its a classic one-sided love story,
I shall not say a peep.

It hurts more than normal, 
to know they don't feel the same,
cause to me she is why flowers bloom,
but to her I'm just a name.

Abcs of a One-Sided Love Mr

A lazy afternoon 
And an empty classroom.
As I’m about to fall asleep,
At the same time
I fell for you.

“Because” you look
Beautiful in my eyes, and
Because of then, I’ve been getting
Butterflies at the glimpse of you doing what you
Love, making me fall for you even harder.

Catching a glimpse from time to time,
‘Cause it’s the same way you
Caught my heart. You
Can hear it racing, If only I could make 
You feel the same way.

So that the roses in my heart could bloom so 
Much so you could notice it.

One Sided Love

I wish I could tame my wild feelings
Cut it's fangs and trim it's wings
I wish I could bind it to a stake
Even for a day,
For it teaches my heart to wonder
Draging it along
Even as it wonders off
Misled by the fragrance of you
and still comes home
Drenched in a pool of pity
For you never cared
Even when it did all a man can ever do
To win a lady.

So This Is Love

He vowed to love her forevermore—
But already forgot her trivial name.
