LIVE

There is something entirely beautiful and utterly heartbreaking about the concept of falling in love.

Its when you hear their laugh and you stare in wonder, speechless that you’re able to witness it. Its when you remember every little detail about them and they’re shocked by it. Its when you wake up and your first thought is whether they had a peaceful sleep or if they woke the entire night. Its when you write them love letters and spritz the paper with their favourite perfume.

But its also watching them love smile with someone else. Its also watching them write love letter to someone else. Its also watching them begin to fade from your daily routine.

But mostly and ever painfully so, its watching them love another while your heart ebbs away just a little more as the cycle of love starts again.

Nicotine

You are my second father,

A father who I could relate with

A father who shared the same weakness

The one that I share my despondency with.

You are my second father,

The one who enlightens.

A father who I used to watch

Whenever he lights up a cigarette.

You are my second father,

The one that I used to be closed with.

The one that taught me ways to cope

The one that taught me not to smoke.

But now that I’m older,

You had started building walls.

Our conversations had reached to its end,

As you started flaming your nicotine.

I don’t have much to say now

But just like you, you know that I’m here too.

You might not be able to hear me right now

But please don’t leave me too.
