Yearning ~ Response to a love poem

The love; no your love will find you serendipitously
Sweeping you off your feet
Making you skip a beat every time
Wetting your eyes only with tears of joy!

Your love languages will vibe so well;
When you are together, your silence even speaks volume
When he touches you, you will free electricity in your bones
When he speaks to you, it will affirm his love for you

The beach and the waves will be your home,
Of togetherness, of cuddles and of joy.
When full moonlight touches your face at midnight
He will take pictures of you; the fine art kind!

I am envious of your love for him
As a hopeless romantic, I am rooting for you;
I am also wishing I was in his place
To know and feel your love in my bones

I want you to yearn for me as you yearn for him
I want us to give people couple goals
Most of all, I wanna love you;
Like no one has ever loved you…

The Problem with Better Halves

Nobody is perfect. You are imperfect and you always will be in some aspect or the other; we should celebrate that. You are uniquely you and it is your USP.

There are no better halves. People are not half, they are whole people with their imperfections even. Accept them for who they are before you make them your life partners. Also, don’t look for all your needs in one person. There is a physical limit to which one person can fulfil and enrich someone else’s life.

We are all looking for intellectual, emotional, romantic, sexual, experiential and spiritual stimulation and connection. Understand each other and their love languages. And love (unconditionally – that is for another day); the more you give, the more you receive. If you aren’t receiving enough; then you might not be with the right person…

No, you can’t skip to the good parts

It’s 2021 and there is this insane urge for instant gratification as always. Sadly, real life isn’t like that; all good things in life need time and hard work. Unless you are super freaking rich; then all bets are off. But for commoners like us, you can’t skip to the good parts. 

Life as we know it has a series of moments where we feel like we are in hell. Be it a major breakup or losing a job or losing someone in your life; you cannot skip through the pain and come out on the other side where it’s shining and has rainbows. So what do we do in that situation? You persevere and push yourself through it; talk to your friends; talk to a therapist; work on yourself; heal and make yourself ready and worthy of everything that is to come. 

It is a matter of time and the good parts will come to you, then maybe make that reel you know, for validation!

Grieving your breakup

You must grieve your breakups, space it out before you try to jump back in for the heck of it. Depending upon how important and valuable the relationship was; the period of mourning varies.

Everyone has to go through some or all of these stages of grief: denial, guilt, bargain, depression, coming back up, working through, acceptance.

Find what works for you; have some good crying sessions, listen to sad music, talk to your close friends, talk to your therapist, do some journaling – whatever helps you to grieve your loss. It is a loss, mind it! It will start to hurt a little less tomorrow and the day after and the day after. Some day you will work through it and forget about the pain.

Give yourself time. Grieve your loss. Also, pursue new potential interests when you have done self-work and healed. Otherwise, it’s not fair to the new person.

Now, back at it you crazy lover! I am rooting for you…

Taking My Breathe Away!!

Taking My Breathe Away!!

The moment I met you,
I felt like you punched me,
In my stomach; taking my
Breathe away!

I was falling for you;
I could feel butterflies in my stomach,
A smile on my face,
And a million dreams in my heart.
You drive me crazy, in a good way!
I cannot wait to write you postcards;
A million of them sharing my love,
Signing off saying “I adore you!” #poetry #writing #loveisintheair #nijgram

Small World

Small World

Our conversations made me realise
Such a small world we live in!
We have a million similarities
And equal if not more differences.

When we take a leap of faith
And set off on this journey;
To discover each other and our own selves
The destination doesn’t matter.

The beautiful journey with you
Will have more sunrises than sunsets.
Our companionship will create a universe
Because that’s how hopeless romantics we are!

Walking Around With You

Walking Around With You

When this lockdown is over
And we can move around easily;
All I want is to walk around with you,
We don’t even have to talk!

Our conversations won’t have leaps and bounds
Flowing organically, left, right and centre!
When I look at you, I will know we have arrived
And looking at you is a glorious sight!

Your company will be everything,
The moments together will be precious.
I hope our hands and fingers mingle
At this beginning of a forever journey!

Your Smile!

Your Smile!

Your smile,
Your glorious, gorgeous smile!
I want to go to bed looking at it
I want to wake up by seeing it!

Your smile,
Makes me skip a few heartbeats,
And having the air pulled out of my lungs
By your smile is the best way to go out!

Your smile,
I promise I will never have enougsh,
I look forward to more and more
My favourite will be the next time you smile!

Cuddling Up With You!

Cuddling Up With You!

You are a delight
Always has been
Always will be!
So is cuddling up with you.

You are a perfect fit;
Be is a small spoon or big.
Long cuddles with no space
For even air to pass through!

You leave me wanting more
Every single time
I look forward to the next embrace
Where I will feel home with you!

You Are My Magic!

You Are My Magic!

I gaze at you as I do at the full moon
It makes my nights brighter
It makes my days happier
Because You are my magic!

I love your palette
With infinite combinations
It makes unicorns real
Because You are my magic!

Everything you touch
You leave your magic behind.
I am glad you touched me too,
Because You are my magic!
