അത്രയേറെ സങ്കടം തോന്നുന്ന നിമിഷങ്ങളിൽ
ഞാനെൻ്റെ കൈകൾ കോർത്തുപിടിക്കാറുണ്ട്.
ഒറ്റക്കായില്ലെന്ന് തോന്നിക്കാൻ,
എനിക്ക് ഞാനുണ്ട് എന്ന്
പറയാതെ പറയാൻ.

You'll miss them
Until you don't

It hurts like hell
Until it doesn't

Just stay alive and
Take one day at a time— % &

Circa 2018

I didn't have preferences back then.
I used to take whatever I was given.
Be it vodka, whiskey or cheap rum,
I had no complaints.
Be it ghosting, taking advantage, or breadcrumbing,
I wanted them to stay.

Present day

Whiskey on the rocks, self respect,
healthy boundaries and self love
Nothing less
Nothing more

-

The saddest thing is
When you waste the best quotes
On the wrong people.

-

Maybe this is how
Things should end
Abrupt
No closure
No goodbyes
Leaving hope and
No hope at the same time

-

Even though you never made it to my usual Insta stories,
You were all over the poems I wrote.
And
You will be the story I tell someday.
The one I could never write down.

-

നമ്മൾ


ഓർമ്മിക്കുവാൻ തക്കവണ്ണം
ഒന്നുമുണ്ടായിരുന്നില്ല

എന്നാൽ

മറക്കാതെയിരിക്കാൻ മാത്രം
എല്ലാം ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു

-

I hope you remember me

Everytime someone talks about road trips
I hope you remember me
Everytime you wear those butterfly earrings
I hope you remember me
Everytime you crave pizza and fries
I hope you remember me
Everytime someone clicks a photo of you
I hope you remember me
Everytime someone ask you about love
I hope you remember me
Like a book you bought years ago
Yet never read

-

Hey, it's me again
Hope you're doing well

I got a notification in my phone today
It was from Google photos

It read
'Rediscover this day - 6th August 2018'
Throwback to that day we went to
CCD for the first time together

I still remember,
How much you liked that cappuccino
Instead of the iced coffee you ordered
And made that cute cappuccino moustache.

I still have those photos
Helping the memories not to fade away

Still missing you
But not wishing you were here

-

Hey, It's me again
I hope you're doing well

I got a new phone recently
Installed WhatsApp right away

But didn't restore our chats
Moreover, deleted the backup forever

I guess something should be left behind
To move forward

Still missing you
But not wishing you were here
