ENJOY THE EDIT AND MAKE SURE YALL READ THE POEM BELOW.
I held you once—not in my arms,
but in the spaces jaha shyd tum aur m, hum bane ho.
Your eyes were asking me a question,
hopefully waiting, while I turned away.
You gave me a choice, and I let it slip, i had to,
had my hands tied to promises I couldn’t rip.
so I left, cut you off—clean, quick, cruel,
left you wondering if I ever cared.
You took part in things you had no clue about,
yet you did it for me.
If only I had known,
if only we weren’t complicated ourselves,
we’d have been much more — been free.
I moved away, miles and months between us,
but regret has a way of finding its way back.
Now that I reach out my hand, a little too late,
I find you safe in someone else’s arms.
And if you do ask why now?—
because I dreamt of you.
Because I really missed you.
Because I never wanted to hurt you,
I did like you—God I liked you—
par fir jaise humesha hota h,
destiny had something else in store.
And now, even as I think of closing the distance,
I know you never will. kyu hi karogi?
Not after what long distance did to you before.
Not after what I did. im sorry
I know all of it, yet I still want you to be mine.
I think of that one bus ride—
when you confessed, voice steady, eyes hopeful.
I heard you.
But I could never look at you and say,
“I like you too.”
I was caught in a dilemma no one wants to be in.
I still think of that day—
of all the days we had.
Going home together, meeting your family,
thanking your dad for the ride,
thanking your mom for the warmth,
thanking you for staying—
when I lost myself completely,
when you were breaking too.
But now, you are his, and I am no one.
So I fold my words back, swallow my want,
write my regret down on paper
and hope you never ask—
“Why now?”
