It changes

It changes:

I'd write my love on an empty page

And hope what remains flies into your range

Never thought we would reach this unfortunate stage

Isn't it crazy how fast people change?


What was it like, waking up one day

And not feeling the same about me and you

I didn't think I'd never get to have any say

I kept hoping that conversation just wasn't true


You weren't sorry for what you had done

You were sorry for what you were about to do

I was shocked to see what you had become

I hope no one ever does that to you

I hope you never know my kind of pain

Never know the feeling of getting your heart slain

By the person who meant the most to you


But I don't hold you guilty

I know what you have been through

Not all of what we had belonged to thee

Some part of it perhaps belonged to me too.

The Next Guy

I really want to know
What you'll tell the next guy about us
Were you happy, was it memorable
Or just another avoidable fuss

The conversations that we had
Would you have the same with him
Would he treat you the way I did
Although the chances are slim

The songs that we shared
I thought they belonged to me and you
I've kept them so close to my heart
Can't see them belong to you both too

I still don't know what went wrong
Was it me? Was it you? Or was it fate?
I hope I gave you some memories
That you'll recount on your next date

If he's better than me,
And he treats you the right way
Then when things aren't alright
Be with him and ask him to stay

But if he isn't, and you feel
You can't hold your relationship strong
Don't come back to me 'cause you lost me when
You felt what we had was wrong

Peace of my heart

 Peace of my heart:

A piece of my heart still stays with you
Just how a piece of you stays with me
I cherish it, protect it, love it too
But if you want I'd set it free

Was it too childish to behave that way
Was it stupid to expect that you'd stay
I'd want to say something if I may
Not being 'forever' is also okay

Maybe we'd never know how we'll feel
Maybe time wouldn't let us truly heal
Maybe alone I'll cry for you
I guess one day you'll miss me too
When the clock with hit three
And it would be that time of the afternoon
Maybe then you'll be reminded of me
And wish it hadn't ended so soon

Oh and we still have a pending date
Even that date sounds like a distant dream
Sometimes it's just the players' fate
that they're better off without the team

For the peace of my mind, I'd let go of the piece of your heart
I know for sure it won't be easy
Because we knew one thing since the start
It was always meant to be you and me.

Can you just stick with me?

(Hope you all like this one, this is one of my personal favourites) 

Saw my best friend the other day
Staring at his bride-to-be
Didn't know you were in town
But I knew you wouldn't talk to me

Was it too wrong to think of 'us'
We could be a thing, couldn't we?
You left me on my own and I kept trying
To figure what was wrong with me

I remember the day I asked you out
In a tux, down on one knee
I bet the Gods watched from above
And blessed that month of February

It's been a while since I saw that smile
When we used to sit on that garden chair
I missed your charm and I missed your jokes
And I miss messing up your hair

But who would I tell my story
Because I knew I needed to be
out of love just like you
Or just hide my emotions in me

You said we were soulmates
We'd support each other and be clingy
You didn't do justice to that word, love
'Cause you chose to simply leave me

Did you want a Prince Charming?
I could be him, if the need be
Are you ready to give that chance
With or without love, but to me?

Saw your eyes that day
Attractive yet restless, searching someone at the party
Knew you were looking for me, and I wanted
to shout as loud as I could, possibly
"I am a human in love too you know,
So can you just
stick
with me?"

Blushing to myself

 I just crossed my darkest nights
when I had blinded eyes
I couldn’t see you
But now that days were bright
and I didn’t need the light
carried by you
I noticed the smile on your face
After our little childish race
finding time for ourselves
my heart was an empty space
for long and lonely days
you know, I kept blushing to myself

You always had all figured
and still never got triggered
by the shit that I said
But by the end of that day
when I had found my way
you wrote a letter that read
“I need to walk a mile
Don’t let go of that smile”
Just gonna think about yourself?
For long and lonely days
My heart was an empty space
But I kept blushing to myself

I thought it was your turn
to enjoy, but you didn’t return
and scared the shit out of me
I thought it would be wise
To just forget your voice
and set you free
Down the lanes of memory
I still remember your charm
Why you left is a mystery
Tell me, did I do you any harm?
You can walk your meters
but the world is full of cheaters
just take care of yourself
For long and lonely days
My heart will be an empty space
I’ll continue blushing to myself

A few moments

For a few moments, I forgot all the pain
Wasn’t your face or your voice, but your words that hit my brain
For a droughted life, you came as rain
Oh how I could live those moments again and again.

Looked for the sunshine, never to be found
I realized it was time to rise without bounds
Lying, after every struggle, when I would look around
Even your voice would excite me, of all the present sounds.

The memories, they are neither long nor too short
But just lovely enough, captured in my heart
Tears here, smiles there, but love since the start
No matter how distant we got, never let us apart.

Yes, without you, days would be harder to cross
But there’s got to be a win, after such a loss
Sometimes, all we can do is hope for the best
Keep faith in our love, and forget the rest.

Even today, when I look at our beautiful pic
I realize there wasn’t anybody else I could pick
For a few moments, I again forget life’s harshness
Not your face or your voice, but our love sweeps the darkness.

कोरे कागज़ पर अधूरी पंक्तियाँ

जब दिन ख़ुशनुमा हो तो थोड़ा कम लिखा करता हूँ  जब रातें अँधेरी हो तो कागज़ पर ग़म लिखा करता हूँ  जब टूटा हुआ हो दिल तो कम कहा करता हूँ वफ़ा का घर...
