Lost in translation

I never told you so
That you were the one
Always.... you were the only one for me

I never told you so
How beautiful you were to me
I wish you could see through my eyes

I never told you so
That I never pictured myself without you
And...that I always imagined you by my side

I never told you so
That I meant it with all my heart when I said "I wanna grow old with you"
And...that if we did grew old together, I will like you to hold my wrinkled hand while taking a lazy walk

I never told you so
That you were the happiest space of my existence
And...that without you life space would have been a totally different realm

I never told you so, because...
There is this enstranged relationship between words and feelings
No matter the words you use to convey how you feel, something always gets lost in translation

I never told you so, because...
I never wanted to convey anything less than how precisely I felt about you
And words just never seemed enough

I never told you so, because...
Words are great when used to convey something definitive and meausre-bound
But what about something that crosses the brim and overflows
Words just fail...

Now when I realise....
Though I held back
Though I shouldn't have
Though I will never get another chance
Though everything ended
Though nothing can be the same again
Though the love we shared is a past

I can only thank you
For choosing me for a while

I can only thank you
For staying with me for a while

I can only thank you
For ending on your own terms
On realising that i'm not the one any more, transcending the promises of togetherness once made

And moreover,
I can only thank you
For bringing out the extremes of love and hate in me

Few Years Later

This is few years after parting away Im seeing her again Standing across a distance accompanied by a stranger Putting on a beautiful smile I have wilfully dreamt of this dreadful moment for many a times Dreadful because of the varied outcome it entails One of the most dreadful outcome was in answering to myself, Will she recognise me??If not Such lack of recognition would define what I meant to her It would exactly mean what a crowd of people walking under the bridge mean to a  person standing over the bridge for a smoke As no crowd ever had any face, All they have is a very visible unidentified presence More importantly it says a smoker just doesn't give a damn It would be more than any human indignation possible, as it also reaffirms that you are not remembered Which would prove that my favourite song "you are not alone" by MJ which use to bring some respite at one among many moments of despair,  was not for me My heart started gathering pace with beati...

a journey to a spotless mind

"Congratulations, it's a Baby Girl", the doctor says, as he hands over the new born baby girl to her mother while the nurse straps the umbilical cord. Chapter 1: Dream Dreams are, in fact, manifestations of reality, it is the amount of mutation that reality undergoes in our mind that makes it appear far-fetched. It is an unusual dream, he thought. Asleep. Dreaming. Conscious. Like a fly on the wall, he was quietly experiencing and sneaking on his own dream. He was mind boggled by the visuals that his dream had to offer. The visuals were unlike anything that he would possibly experience in waking life.  The sky up above was deep bluish dark with a million stars twinkling, there was no sight of the moon. But the thing that he was boggled by, was the surreal fact that, even though the sky called it night, his surroundings were brightly lit as day. At a closer look he saw millions-and-millions of rainbow’ish molecular self-lit tiny bubbles floating in the surrounding and ligh...

Wonder

How many number of times a day do we look ourselves in the mirror?? And most of every such time we are posing just one question "Do I look alright??" expecting a confirmation from the reflection part of us that   "You look perfect" or "You look pretty alright" or "Not bad" We have been doing this day in and day out so much that its almost like an unnoticeable self centered routine part of us, among others things This evening I watched the trailer of a movie called "Wonder", which revolved around a kid called Auggie having a disfigured face due to multiple surgeries The trailer was indeed moving After watching the trailer I was forced to think as to "How many times do people having a disfigured face or people having marks on their faces look themselves in the mirror?? If they do even once a day or a week, do they expect a confirmation from the mirror as to how they look?? I'm not really sure, what reality is.... But I...
