Your scent is like a drug to me like my own personal brand of heroin.
—Stephenie Meyer, Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1)
Teri meri nazrein hi iane hain sara jo majra

It was just a good joint, good conversations and a good fuck
Then why did my inner child feel safe with you?
So, why aren't you guys together?
Because he is different in front of others
When Nachiketa said, "Tumi ashbe bolei akash meghla, brishti ekhono hoyeni. Tumi ashbe bolei krishnochura r phool gulo jhore jayeni"
And when Mahtim Shakib said, "Tumi brishti cheyecho bole, koto megher bhengechi mon. Ami nijer bolte, tomaye cheyechi"
And when Anjan Dutt said, "Raasta r koto soshta hotel e, boddho cabin e bondhi dujone, rudroshash koto protikkha"
Somehow, inherently, we have all lost someone we loved.
Sometimes, she is too much of everything—too sensitive,too generous, too intense, too adorable, too accepting.
She is mad, the kind of mad that makes you fall in love, and she doesn’t need much—some books to read, a warm touch, someone to love and to be loved.
—Something I'm Waiting to Tell You by Shravya Bhinder
Sometimes it goes very quiet in my heart, so quiet that all I hear is your name.

“I don’t care what you do to me, but I don’t want you to hurt me. I’ve had enough hurt already in my life. More than enough. Now I want to be happy.”
— Haruki Murakami
“You get a strange feeling when you’re about to leave a place. Like you’ll not only miss the people you love but you’ll miss the person you are now at this time and this place because you’ll never be this way ever again.”
— Azar Nafisi
But Park’s face was like art. And not weird, ugly art either. Park had the sort of face you painted because you didn’t want history to forget it.
If she showed him how much she needed him, he’d run away.
Eleanor was right: She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn’t supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something.
—Eleanor & Park, Rainbow Rowell
Art is life, then it is also true that life must become art

What was he supposed to do? Forget her like a vivid dream? Or remember her like a distant reality?
— Cross You Heart, Take My Name.
His soul rushed out. Carrying the memory that was important. The only memory that was important.

Maybe, in the end, our hopes were the wrong way around. But what am I, what are you, if not a misdiagnosis? And if so, is there a way out?
—Haruki Murakami, The Elephant Vanishes.
When I was in school, I started writing short stories. Then, I wrote poetry. But what I really want to write is a novel. A long tale, in which I can find myself. But it never happens. Every time I sit down to write...it turns into poetry.
—Cobalt Blue(2022).
Losing someone close to you is such a crippling feeling.
si vis amari, ama ‘If you wish to be loved, love'
Scam
Words are oblivious in belittling my emotions
Quarrying into these veins that pumps scarlet
Scared for life they see the prey shaking
Of anger? Of fear? Of Disgust?
Sanctuaries are vanquished in holy names of covetousness
Proclaims their admiration by using daggers
Pointed at the cause of all sin: the heart
Contrary to the vehemence that I feel
Violated and denied the prerogatives offered to me at birth
Silent are the behest of the laws of the soul
~Srijita
क्या आप मुझ पर खफ़ा हैं?
ये सासे जो पुकारती है मुझे, आपके हैं?
नस-नस में जो खून बेह रहा हैं,
न जाने कहाँ जा रहा हैं
काश इस जिंदगी ने बोल दी होती
सासे लेना क्या गुनाह हैं मेरी?
इश्क तेरी आंखों में लिखा, पढने दे ज़रा,
हमको भी गालिब होना है,
इन गज़लों सी आँखों में खोना है,
Ishq Teri Aankhon Mein Likha, Padhne De Zaraa
Humko Bhi Ghalib Hona Hai
Inn Gazal’on Si Aankhon Mein Khona Hai
I want to give love a chance again.

क्या कहे हम इश्क़ में ईस कदर बेज़ुबां हो गए
कि तुमसे जुदा होके हम तबाह हो गए।
Kya kahe ishq me is kadar bezubaan ho gaye
Ki tumse juda hoke hum tabaah ho gaye
इश्क़
इश्क़ हरा देता है सब को, मैं हारा हुआ हूं
खारे इश्क़ से शक्कर सा मीठा हुआ हूं
ऐ तेज़ हवा ! मैं सूखा पत्ता सामने तेरे हूं
जानता नहीं किस तरफ़ जा कर मैं गिरूं
“Kiss me, my beloved, peel my heart down to the core,
Your lips are as sweet as cherry wine, pour me some more.”
