The intimacy of sharing feelings and thoughts that were buried deep inside with someone who understands and listens to them patiently and acknowledges them and does not make you feel like you're too much is everything.
I wish I can just talk about things with someone. like sometimes I just want to say i'm depressed and lost and want to stop existing. but I don't want them to worry about me or be sad about my feelings. I don't want them to think "oh no idk how to comfort you" or "not this again." I don't want to be a burden or "toxic person". i just want them to understand and then we can go watch the sunset and drink chai or something.
Either you end up hurting someone or they hurt you. So, what's the point?
No lover brings annotated books, handwritten letters or happiness, now they only bring problems, jealousy and traumas.
“If I could, I would apologize to the sky and my room ceiling for all of the nights I’ve awkwardly stared at them remembering things I should have forgotten.”

maybe one day you'll relate to the poems about being in love and being loved back. and not the ones about longing for it like it's something distant & unattainable for you.
Chori chori hum se tum aa kar mile the jis jagah
muddaten guzrin par ab tak wo Thikana yaad hai
—Hasrat Mohani
Hawas ki vaadiyon se door Haya ki chadar me
Hum bhi kisi se milenge, usool-e-shari'at ke mutabik💌

I am, as the poets say, a disaster.
“I lived in books more than I lived anywhere else.”
