2 years.
Just saying
Not that I care.

IF words could escape, Id write a million to you.
Or Id memorize each feature, each attribute about you like a word
That everytime I whisper the word, I feel a part of you within me. That after you, Id have nothing to write about. That the words stop befriending me just like you stopped existing in me.

ek shakhs raaste main kahin choot gaya tha
ek rishta tha woh bhi toot gaya tha

She writes another page and sits down for a while

Because she is thinking

Pondering over what had been and what was now.

And she realized how blessed she has always been.

barfi ke tukre sa
chanda dekho adha hai
kankhi se takna zara

And they spent their nights on the roof top, counting the stars, connecting them together
and making up stories of houses in the sky and families of stars.

He woke up in the middle of the night, startled. Sweating.
Panting he sat up abruptly, running a hand though is hair.
Swallowing thickly. Breathing heavy. Throat parched.

He jumped off the bed and ran across the room and back.
To thise side and the other. Running his hand through the hair.
Rubbing them on his face to calm the growing restlessness inside.
Stopping the darkness before it creeped into his bones.

Pacing back and forth, breathing.
Every step like a knife searing through his heart.

He opened the bathroom door, turned the faucet on, letting the water flow noisily
He started scrubbing his hands. Scrubbed until they turned blue.
Until the blood started showing in clogged patches under the skin.

Khoon ke dhabbay dhulenge
Kitni barsaaton ke baad

And he slid down on the floor, 
Weeping.  
Letting it get to him. And kill him for the nth time since the day.

Dil toh chaaha,
Par shikaste dil ne mohlat hi na di

And she walked, towards and away
Leaving marks of red and mud
Of words and dew

Dast afshaan chalo
Mast-o-raqsaan chalo

She walked stones and glasses
Leaving marks of  petals and glitter
Of hopes and dreams

Khaak barsar chalo
Khoon ba-daaman chalo
