(Not)the one?

 I remember it well

in the back of my head,

When we were sleeping

together, just sharing a bed.

Went to the arcade

and had a fun day,

Managed to talk without

running out of things to say.

"Oh! What a gentleman"

thinks my brain,

The kind that'll bring along an umbrella,

just in case it rains.

Dreaming, wishing, 

hoping and praying,

let the paths remain intertwined,

as we keep talking and playing.

Months had passed

as we continued to have some fun,

But deep down we all knew,

he wasn't the one.

Bhai hai na

 To him, I'm his annoying little sibling,

Together, we can be totally unhinged.

Found each other when lost at sea,

What brought us together was COVID-19.

He knocks some sense when I fall off the wagon,

Without him, I truly don't know what would happen.

On the balcony, we sit and share our stories,

Of sadness and heartbreaks, of games and glories.

Story of Us Will Never be Gone

Aaj kayi mahino baad,

Ki maine usse baat.

Haal chaal hai poocha,

Zyaada maine na socha.

Yaad aa rahi thi toh bhej diya ek text,

Didn't think much about what comes next.

It was our song that I listened to today,

Felt the memories making me sway.

No, it didn't make me sad,

No, it didn't make me mad,

Just happy to have crossed paths with him,

Like that beach on vacation, I can't go back to for a swim.

He'll always have a soft spot in my heart,

You'll see his references in my art.

Care for him will forever remain,

But the heart has now been trumped by the brain.

It is long due and time to move on,

But the story of us will never be gone.
