You Should Have Told Me

The path is now lost.

And all of us wanderers have nowhere to go.

Before you

I was terrified of this world

looking at those Shadows

Spreading on this earth

You tilted my head upward

showed me the stars

And I stopped shuddering in the dark

You told me

any of them could be mine

The thought made me smile

I wandered around at nights

Looking for that tiny light

That would feel just right

Just mine

And I finally found it

Not up above, in the skies

But around me

Among the fireflies.

The moments that we lost in time,

Still reverberate in my mind.

Your radiant smile, eyes dancing with mirth,

I still see it like an image in a hologram.

The warmth of your embrace,

I can still feel it like the soft evening breeze.

And like I promised you millions of time,

I still keep your essence inside the walls of my heart.

-Yours forever

The million dollar question ?

True love,

Like a needle in a haystack,

It's too difficult to find.

Like the Gods above,

It exists if you believe in it.

Like Halley's comet,

You might see it,

in one of your lifetime.

It's priceless

like the Kohinoor.

Or so people say.

But all this hype,

Brings me to a question,

Why the hell do you think it's worth the hassle?!

You remember that day, I saw you in the park?

You were sitting on a swing with a little girl on your lap. A goofy smile was plastered on your face, so real that it burned my heart. I know, you sensed me watching you as you abruptly looked my way.

And I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that I looked away before you caught my eyes. I'm sorry that for a little while, it dimmed your charming smile.

The truth is that I'm jealous. Jealous of the way you embrace life, when I feel so burdened by it. Jealous of how brave you must be, to be able to smile in a world like this. You seem to have mastered the art of living while I'm still figuring out its meaning.

Don't show me the illusion you call love

Show me the daggers you're hiding behind your back.

Don't tell me your sugary lies of trust and friendship

Tell me the truth you're hiding down your throat.

How naive we were to assume

That the galaxy spins around us

That the stars were gathered to watch

While dance in the centre of universe

Thought we brought colour to this world

And the sprinkle of stardust

How naive we were that we couldn't see

The stars conspiring against us

And now everything is spiralling away...

The colours are fading away....

My heart still beats...

But from inside the wooden box.

Not Mine❤️

Maybe you weren't the one for me

Maybe we weren't meant to be

But somewhere along the way

You have become a part of me

In those fickle dreams of my teenhood

In the last pages of my notebooks

In the music collection on my first iPod

There still exists a part of you

In that briefest moment of eye contact

And the goofy smile that sped up my heart

In those infinite seconds, you gave me

The simplest form of joy life could impart

I agree, you weren't meant to be mine

But in my soul, you still left an imprint
