Hands on the steering. Brain reminding. Those vivid flashbacks Of you cheering me From the crowd Where I'm singing Those astonishing moments. Hands on the steering, Brain reminding Of that smile you used to have, watching me happy, That gaze you used to give, catching me looking at you, Those eye rolls you gave me while I was flirting with you. Hands on the steering, Brain reminding The story of you and me, A spark that won’t be denied, Beneath the vivid sky, Where time itself drifts by, With you and me In a glimpse of a timeline. Head on the steering, Blood pumping, Brain replaying one last memory: Me and you under the cherry tree, Sitting on the bench, Two kids running, a puppy chasing, Laughter in the air. I know something isn't right, But I follow it anyway. Let it fill me, A life we never had, And yet, for a second, It feels mine.

Velvet Memories.
When we were younger, the night knew our names It leaned in close when we laughed at the flame Of moments that flickered but felt like forever, When hearts made their vows without asking for weather. Bare feet on the earth, no future in sight, Just stars holding still for the length of one night. Love came unguarded, no armor, no fear, We trusted the now because tomorrow wasnt here. Now time hums a different, more careful tune, Still sings of the sun, but remembers the moon. I carry those days like a hymn in my chest, Not to return, but to honor whats blessed. There’s a mercy in letting a memory breathe, In not bending the past to beg it to stay. Some loves are complete even left unclaimed, Some fires are sacred because they’re contained I love you the way seasons love the land By knowing when not to reach for your hand Grateful you were grateful you're gone Grateful we existed before right and wrong And when that old song finds its way through the air, I don’t ache I remember. I don’t wish I care. We were real. That’s the truth I defend. Some loves don’t need endings to still never end

When we were younger
If I could still hold you, In the palm of my trembling hand, In the depths of my fragile heart, In the whispers of my restless soul. If I could still hold you, In the shadows of sleepless nights, In the echoes of forgotten dreams, In the longing that seeps through my veins. If I could still hold you, In the silence of empty spaces, In the void that your absence created, In the ache that lingers, refusing to fade. If I could still hold you, In the fragments of memories, In the pages of a love story, In the etchings of a bittersweet past. If I could still hold you, In the tears that flow like rivers, In the laughter that dances on my lips, In the moments we shared, forever cherished. If I could still hold you, In the depths of my imagination, In the realms of a parallel universe, In the hope that defies all reason. If I could still hold you, In the symphony of our intertwined souls, In the symphony that plays on, undeterred, In the symphony that refuses to end. Then perhaps, just perhaps, Even in the absence of physical touch, Even in the void that separates our beings, Even in the vastness of this universe. I could still hold you, In the tenderness of my love, In the strength of my devotion, In the essence of who we once were. For love knows no boundaries, No limitations, no constraints, It transcends time and space, And etches itself onto eternity's canvas. So, if I could still hold you, In the depth of my being, In the essence of my existence, Then know, my love, that you are forever mine.

When you were my Yes; In a world full of Nos You were the only calm I knew Before I knew how it felt to lose, You were the open sunny skies Before I knew the cold winter The way we stitched stars to our dreams… And the way you didn’t have to ask my heart I just recognized it on my own! Our love was so loud.. Wild and fierce and untamed.. but It could not get louder than the voices… the voices I was raised to obey.. and voices built cages to tame its flame which is why the fire dimmed…. And even when I walked away It broke me in pieces where noone could see! And ever since I have worn silence; I have worn silence like second skin But you have lived in every quiet that I entered Memories of you crawl to me They find me in my every breath They find me in my shadow and just like that I carry you like my breath which I dont know to exhale- I am just an endless tide pulled trembling to your hidden shore.

Still....
Ms Anderson, Ms Anderson, Wherefore art thou my teacher? Grant my pen a poet's gift Let me scribble my pencil thin, Writing, kindling your blossom smile. You, beautiful as you flip my file Which has me commit to your homework, while Sitting at home with a radiant smile. Ms Anderson, Ms Anderson, Wherefore art thou my teacher? 'tis true, nobody's perfect -- nobody but you. Naughty I was and punish you did that's true. "Write, 'I will listen in class.'" you said demure, "on each line of those two pages; and stop being immature." I'd Sit and contemplate, drool and scribble, "Lovely miss Anderson. My miss Anderson" Ms Anderson, Ms Anderson, Wherefore art thou my elder? Were you younger, by a decade or two, I grant I'd hop and merrily skip, With you on the park and  buy you a sweet. I'd look in your eyes, and call you Anderson. My dear Anderson.

Ms Anderson, Ms Anderson
Memories of you are dust-specks in sunbeams. Capricious ghosts that flicker and dance in warm liquid gold. Elusive and volatile. Liable to cascade at a glance. In time they will settle. I will not, for a while. I will sit with ghosts. I will let them dance.

Saudade
You were that devastating thunderstorm which, was the most beautiful tragedy happened to me we are not together now, as it was never on the cards. nothing is fine and I am worst without you I don't want you anymore (I say) I need you, in every step (I know) You were that endless joy which is now endless pain I tried to forget all the moments spent with you and, ended up in, remembering you all the times those also were tears which never came out from my eyes the pain was also that which I never told. I remember all those dreams which, we wove together they were lovely. I remember the soft touch of your lips, that naïve shamelessness   I remember everything I remember all that happened I remember all the things I remember that rain in which, we got drenched together there was a flame inside us while we were soaked (In the droplets of rain) what was that carelessness, In those moments spend together which passed, yet not passed I remember such evenings (we spent together)   when you slept by my side I kept looking at you, I remember everything I remember all that happened I remember all the things I am that broken glass which never binds
