the last time I saw you, you walked past me in a room filled with hundreds of people but I felt you so close, the whole city was empty and I was the only one watching

Empty city
Yes, we are late. The sky waits, heavy with unshed rain. You know how some silences grow longer than lifetimes. Still, come. Sit with me here, where the old banyan’s shadow touches the water’s edge. Bring only your breath, the memory of a firefly’s pulse in your palm, and the faint, fading scent of champak on your skin. Let this be the last stillness— the moment before the downpour, before rivers remember how to rise, before all paths dissolve into the rain. For the last time, come close. Let the world blur, and leave only this: your hand in mine, and the quiet, just before goodbye.

Final Monsoon
You don't die when you take your last breath, but when someone uses their breath to say your name for the very last time

last time
The last time we met, I thought I hugged you tight enough. Somehow it seems less now. The stars suddenly dim, the moon restless. ­ Hard to breathe, harder to pretend. Pretense, because normal is non-existent Pretense, because my happiness chose you over me. ­ I thought I kissed you enough. That the world would implode if we kissed a little more. I wouldn’t mind watching floating in the void space of darkness, post the assumed explosion, for every night my heart longs, aching in regret of not making the best of our time. The last time we met, I did hold you tight. Hoping to catch your scent, trying to memorize it and guard it with my memory. That's all there is now, a mild scent. Evidence, a reminder. Of life before the pandemic.

The last Time we Met,
Show me the meaning of love once more this time I'll not go away, Kiss me once more this time I'll not stop you, Hold my hand once more this time I'll not pull it off, Brush my hair once more this time I'll let you, Giggle me once more so that i can laugh, Show me the meaning of love once more, This time I'll do the same.

Once more
you wanted me to change my idea of love just so you could continue to do the same thing

Last time I saw him he was saying "I will always love you." Last time I saw him he was holding my hand. Last time I saw him he smelled of cologne. Last time, he touched my heart. This time she is saying "I love you so much." This time, she is kissing my cheek. This time, she smells of perfume. This time, she is touching my soul.

Last Time I Saw Him
You know what? I'm done. I'm done chasing your shadows through the Sleepless nights Running away from my anxieties Feeding on my demons Just because of you. I'm done Suffering for nothing Feeling empty in every place I go Seeing your face everywhere I feel like my life is a total ******** sometimes Because of you. I had enough of myself Running after what, exactly? Oh, I know I've said this a million times And I promise this would be the last time I'd ever chase something That's never true. Love exists, But it's ******** to me.

Love Exists, But...
I saw the piece that'll complete me. I saw it again. Maybe, you're confused And I am so nervous So how could I start my story? When I just saw my missing piece? I am a puzzle And he's a puzzle piece I am a mindful art. A black and white one; gloomy, simple, boring. I am contented with my life, I am not looking for more. But then, he came. He came to me like a thunderstorm And I cannot do anything because I'm a mere stone. He's a poor lost soul And I'm willing to became his foolish map I was hypnotized with his colorful gaze And I fell deep. Yes, I am. I really am. I knew it was trouble, He's a trouble. But I am a willing victim, a suicidal prey Who’s begging for more. God! I am pathetic! I know, those laughter's and fears are worth it. I know that every burst of anger, every drop of tears are worth it. I am nothing but a handicapped When it comes to him. He used to hug me with his fire- coated body, It could burn my skin. I am well aware of everything. Yet I let him. He touched me like He's taking the air of my lungs with him And I know it's deadly But I can give it all to him. He's a parasite within my mind, heart, body and soul. He corrupted me. He became my skin. My air to breathe. I did everything so we could fit perfectly. And that's when I realized. I realized that he cannot love me as I love him. He cannot sacrifice himself as I could give my life for him. He was selfish, I am selfless. He was composed of color, I am made of black and white. That's when it hit me. I am **** too late to realize! **** too late. I was falling deep But I am falling into an abyss of confusion, An abyss of emptiness and sorrow in the pits of hell. I am broken. No, I am always broken. I look at him blindly and I am at fault. Maybe I am just desperate But I am ready to be a fool for him. I'm a willing victim, a suicidal prey. I look at him blindly And forgot that he's a colorful art and I am just black and white. I look at him blindly And forgot that he was a walking disaster and trouble to my life. I look at him blindly And forgot that he's punishing me With his every touch. I look at him blindly! I look at him blindly. But, I cannot look straight at him 'Cause I already gave up… so I am letting him go. He shattered me into pieces And now, I'm all alone As sadness started to grow. I saw the piece that'll complete me. I saw it again. I knew how I reacted As I saw my missing piece. I saw it! I saw it. But I know, someone already took it Because it is not my puzzle to fit.

The brush of his lips against her neck The scrape of her nails across his back The slide of his hand elicits a sigh The curve of her waist, gripped in his hands The rhythm of his heart beating in time with her own The throaty moan that urges him on The thickness in his voice, reveals his desire The desperation because they know this is the last time The gasp of pleasure begging for release The cry of pleasure as she tips over the edge The sound of her name, repeated again and again The whispered goodnight once they have settled The faint snoring breaking the silence of the room The decision to stay the night

During the night (In his bed)
My hands trembled, looking at how bleak my world seemed. I looked down to see a red line, running down my arm. Closing my eyes, swallowing the same pills for what i hoped was the last time. My hope of eternal sleep, eroding as i awoke dizzy and empty of all things. Maybe i killed her, or maybe I killed me.

Murderer
The dance of eyes The soul of lies Prancing like the winds, The fear of the shy The hesitation to speak Enhancing the sound of heart. It's not shyness It's a game A game of two A game of love A game of heartbeats A game which is tough. You call your opponent A crush Because your heart crushes As it fears if your crush is even a part of it But then it blushes When you know That he is the one and only part Your heart shares With his soft stares. The dancing eyes Look here and there And in the crowd Peek at each other like a thief Stealing another glance Just one last time That one last time which stays forever. We share a glance And then look away But this is the chance When we talk and sway But shyness always comes in our way. At last For the last time We share our soft stares We look into each other's eyes We delve into each other's minds But then again shyness comes in our way And we move on our own pathways Forever unknown to one another But forever knowing about the secrets stares we shared.

The Waltz Of Eyes
we are puppets of this late night show trying to unleash all these thoughts in a blow we are athletes on a championship event trying to not waste every second of this moment the kiss, the hug, let me swallow every piece of memory we had for one last time
