Wistfulness glints
Besotted, I drift off in fantasy, Enamoured by a faint, yet timeless smile, Alleviating every ache, worldly, Until I am unsullied (for a while). That smile — it is the heart you so beguile Into its lost essentiality, For wistfulness glints, and mirroring eyes Undo the umbral weight of emptied skies; Lo, all those stars… so you do shine to me.

"in the old world, before the body / awoke and ruptured, / you followed your father shirtless / through the yard, grass bloody knees, / one of the men in your small cowboy / boots and muddied hands."

The most heartbreaking, bitter sweet truth is - it will always be you. I will continue to love you from afar, quietly. I will cheer you on, and hope that you find everything you've ever wanted, even if I'm not part of it. We will never speak again, and my name will never pass through your mind, and I will learn to be okay with that. As long as you're happy. As long as you find everything you have ever wanted. I will take all my pain, swallow it down, and nestle it in my rib cage, hidden from the world. I will not burden anyone else with this ache. It is mine to carry, for all of my days. And that is okay.
dear you - love, (ds)

Tu ne bhi orh lia rang zamana akhir
Tujh ko tu hum ne zamane se juda jana tha
تو نے بھی اورھ لیا رنگ زمانہ آخر
تجھ کو تو ہم نے زمانے سے جدا جانا تھا

My favourite thing about the moon is how I can profoundly stare at it without consequences. There’s a price to pay for admiring the sun.

December wishes
I hope this December will be one to remember, for all the right reasons. I hope this to be the season of calm, warmth and happiness.
I imagine it will be blessed, a time to laugh and rest.

is it easy to love and be loved?
patience, persistence, pain never will outweigh the blossoming feeling of butterflies in the garden of your heart and the healing it does to your soul.
love, as it is, requires the greatest seen effort as well as those that are too menial to be noticed.
to yearn for the warmth of contact, and embrace to never let go
to catch oneself longing for the presence, and endure the pain of waiting
to ponder what the world offers, and to give a piece of the earth
to care and nourish the wellbeing, and to wish well on the wanders
to continue what is good and kind, and to push through the madness of emotions.
to live life as your own, and to live life being theirs

thinking about the time i wrote "love and peace are not synonyms (nowhere near that, in fact). but they are interlinked: one can exist without the other, but it cannot thrive. i know i love you because it’s consuming me, but i do not know peace in this love." didn't even know i had that in me

دے رہے ہیں لوگ میرے دل پہ دستک بار بار، دل مگر یہ کہہ رہا ہے صرف تو اور صرف تو
De rahe hain log mere dil pe dastak bar bar, dil magar yeh keh raha hai sirf Tu aur sirf Tu

Kills me to see you
It kills me to see you happy.
There. I said it. But don't you think for a minute It's without guilt.
I hate my heart for breaking When I see you smile; the light in your eyes, And in knowing Why You have been playing,
I'm walking on sunshine, By Katrina & the Waves.
Singing along, Riding your dopamine high; you — On top of the world.
Kicks my face in the dirt.
I'm ashamed To say it, envy ridden, Because you are all I can see, And you have, apparently, never seen me
That way.
I should be happy for you, but I can't Because your sunshine is my rain; My endless, billowing clouds of grey.
You used to Hug them all away, But I wanted to kiss you, too… okay?
You're my best friend, But I want you to be so much more, And I kill my self each time I have to pretend I am happy for you both.

"And still of a winter’s night, they say, when the wind is in the trees, / When the moon is a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas, / When the road is a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor, / A highwayman comes riding— / Riding—riding— / A highwayman comes riding, up to the old inn-door."

Is it okay
if I just sit with you?
Words will only confuse us
in a way that
silence never would.
