Me, you and my murky dreams:

You were sitting right in front of me/ Your eyes shined as bright as a nebula/ I was a young star in the nebula/ You were a kid looking at the sky every night/ I left my home captivated by your eyes/ You wished upon me/ I burned myself falling for you

You gifted me a snow globe/ We were dancing in the snow globe/ We were waltzing while the sky crumbled down all around us/ You were gone, I was left alone in the rumbles

We were in a cathedral in Paris/ I was mesmerized by its stained glass windows/ Rain came crashing down the windows washing away everything around me/ A year later I couldn't walk with my clothes still soggy with the grief/ Shards of glass windows still slit my throat everytime I breathe

It was near midnight/ I was napping on your shoulder in a rather empty train/ I was an anxious body/ You were a lulling dream/ I woke up devastated that nothing of it was real/ I was losing you the harder I tried to remember/ You never quite left me though/ You came back in flashes making me melancholic, homesick for a place that existed only in my dreams

Of course they do, I saw one falling for you ✨🌟🌠

My girlfriend: *studiously doing her accounting homework, listening to instrumental music, very focused*

Me: *upside down in my desk chair* do you think stars have feelings

genre? how would I know what genre? look i want a playlist that sounds like how i feel when i'm quietly longing for a future i can't envision and a past that never existed. it needs to taste like ginger & honey & an evening home alone in a big drafty house. it should smell like that one staircase from middle school. no I can't be more specific, now generate my FUCKING playlist

Tiniest whiff of cocoa

Brings back the memory of

When a pluviophile girl dressed in grey

Met a balmy guy in azure shirt

And I swear I spotted a rainbow out of the corner of my eye

How you ordered a hot cup of Espresso

And I a Frappuccino, ice cold

Our coffee house conversation

Interspersed with dichotomy of our world views

Every line on the map which reminded me of a kinship torn apart

Created a shape you wished to visit

You with your Darwin talked about how sapiens survive

Me with my Plato talked of how humans live

"Ye tumhare meri baatein" played in the background

And we exchanged the truest smiles

Hearing our humble desires spoken out loud

We lived upto the spirit of the song

With each meeting and each conversation

Our discrete perspectives completing each other

Weaved us into a perfect oxymoron

I ticked all your requirements of a perfect companion and you made me live the Hades- Persophone sort of life

Every meet seemed to be a still straight out of Before Sunrise

Debating over myriad topics and eventually agreeing to disagree

We were the pink-purple sky when day meets night

But then twilight lasts only for a few hours

Eagerness for change began to clash with comfort of familiarity

Your excited eyes fixed on the road ahead failed to meet mine looking wistfully into the rear view mirror and we had to part ways

The shore where we last met summarised it all

A little part of the static land lost itself with

The waves receding back into the vast unknown

You thought it was time to move on

And I ,well I agreed to disagree, holding tight all the memories

Haunted by ghosts of the conversations which died

All these words exchaged but what stayed was ALMOST

We were almost perfect, almost meant to be.

Lying on the bed,

With a hand raised towards the ceiling

As if unlocking a portal to a place

Which entices you in your dreams

Just like a siren singing in the ocean.

Looking at the moon,

And feeling homesick

For a place you have never been.

Staring at the mirror,

And having a moment of depersonalization

Realising you're neither the image in the mirror

Nor the physical form in front of it.

Wondering what even are you

Hit by the triviality of life

In the vastness of universe.

But isn't the universe insignificant without you too?

What are galaxies but just specks of elements

If there are no eyes admiring them.

Photons travel millions of light years

Just to form a fleeting image in your eyes

The stars have no Identity without you.

You name them,

You see familiar shapes

and club them giving them a home.

What is the use of moon creating tides

If there is nobody to enjoy the waves

Your consciousness gives physical reality a meaning.

There are more atoms in your body

Than stars in the known universe

And yet you're so much more than mere atoms

All the events since the beginning of time

Conduced to bring into existence

An ultimate celestial daughter,

YOU.

Raindrops fall resonating with the pitter patter of my heart

Mug of hot coffee strives to transude in some warmth.

Earthy aroma of nostalgia escorts the paper boat

Carrying all the childhood memories in its frail body in an attempt to keep my spirits afloat.

Ouside my window a fiery gulmohar blooms

But my cold day is still painted in grey gloom

Thunder now accompanies the rain pouring down in torrents

As if voicing my inner torment

Then I observe how the clouds, mighty and strong

Still need to burst out in order to move along

So I soak myself hoping to cleanse the sorrow

Drenched in the heavenly tears the soul finally mellows

I am tired of seeing all my friends getting married one by one. I am trying to ring an old friend of mine but can't. Turns out that he too is engaged.

Here goes my heart💔

what she says: i'm fine

what she means: finnick odair is viewed widely as a superficial character who was only self-obsessed and okay with being a killer, but really he survived the hunger games as the youngest ever winner, went through that much trauma and survived at 14 years old, grew up to fall in love with an emotionally damaged girl who had gone through what he had, yet she had turned out more externally damaged, grew close with a sweet old woman, was willing to protect her with his life and literally physically carried her on his back in the games, despite the risk to himself, stood with the rebellion against the Capitol even though he was their darling, publicly defied and spilled secrets about the president, married that same damaged girl he loved even in the middle of a war and had a child who he never got to meet, helped a psychologically damaged and unrecognizable Peeta and defended him, protected his friends and team against the lizard mutts, and actually begged for Katniss to throw a bomb down where he was, because he knew that it would save her and the rest of the team, even though he would die.
