rainy_reflections

The day I met you, I felt so low, Saw you there, your eyes aglow. A smirk played on your lips so sly, As I watched, I couldn’t deny.

You sat on the 2nd floor, lost in your world, Corporate life, with chaos swirled. I was on the 4th, just finding my way, Taking baby steps, learning each day.

At 7 AM, you’d rush down the stairs, While I waited for my bus, unaware of my stares. Saturday mornings, your breakfast was late, With a smile that seemed to seal my fate.

I hoped my crush remained a secret, Checking my room, longing to meet. But you were gone, not a glimpse to see, Still, I pray our paths will cross, just you and me, In this fast-paced city where dreams collide, Hoping one day, you'll be by my side.

Felt like a speck in a vast city,

All rushing, no time for pity.

So lonely, confidence waned,

Wondered if my choice was in vain.

On a random day, I found you there,

Dressed in browns with aesthetic flair,

A voice so velvety, deep, and warm,

Miles away, yet you calmed my storm.

Forelsket washed over me, pure and bright,

In a small town, where shadows took flight,

You taught me to dream, from void to sky,

With hiraeth for a life where stars could lie.

Your aura, confidence, and love profound,

Turned my nights to dawn, where hope is found,

You made me cherish my soul, be true,

To work harder, inspired anew.

Your rainy days brought sunlight's beam,

Ending my eternal darkness, it would seem,

For that, I thank you, admire you vast,

With your light, my dreams are cast.

I never had people to think about,

Only memories, both sweet and stout,

Of past forgotten crushes and love unreturned,

Not an ex to you, yet my heart still burned;

Bitter sweet moments in my mind reside,

You'll always be there, though not by my side.

To see you randomly on a bus,

Or riding a bike, causing a fuss,

With teasing eyes and a crazy race,

Now you're gone, I miss that face;

Suddenly you disappeared from sight,

Now all the paths feel empty, no light.

You asked me why I write, and I smiled that day,

Dodging your question in a playful way;

Now flipping through pages down the lane,

I write to feel your gaze again,

The way you stared on a random day,

Years back, when all felt okay.

From hearing your nickname every day,

To nearly forgetting what you’d say;

From praying to see you every day,

To wishing I had never met you anyway;

Years have passed, and days have changed,

Yet here I am, still feeling estranged,

In the clutches of an old love’s bind,

Hoping for peace I cannot find.

Barefoot on a summer night

I tiptoed in the milky moonlight

Enjoying my walk in sand

I noticed how peaceful was my mind

Just like how sea is calmer at night

Just like how sea is rattled at day's bright

Yes darkness is my colour of comfort

Even white horses of sea seemed to assert

Nothing made me more cheerful and solace

Than the deadness of night, I promise.
