Letters from juliet (IV)
I woke up today and realised
that it isn't about your name not being there on my lips
it's not about the roses not smelling like you
or the coffee not reminding me of us
or me not being afraid of thunder anymore
It's the fact that I wish it wasn't this way
I , deeply, desperately, delusionally wish for -
my lips to be stained by your name
not just roses but every single flower to remind me of you
me to be scared of every thunderstorm
and that is because
a part of me
a stupid godamn part of me
wishes that you'll be there to comfort me
maybe I'm still holding onto that part of me
a poet Ahmad Faraz once said
"ranjish hī sahī dil hī dukhāne ke liye aa
aa phir se mujhe chhoḌ ke jaane ke liye aa"
Just the thought of you coming back generates more happiness than the inherent pain of you walking away
which you will
you always do
with so much ease
it makes me question humanity
Maybe you didn't like me
but just for humanity,
I expected you to turn around
but you didn't
Or maybe you did and I didn't catch you
(Even though I haven't looked away since the first time I saw you)
how is it so easy for you?
how is it so hard for me?
did you ever have tears in your eyes for me?
No
No you didn't
I did
Way too many times
I am drowing in them right now
I don't know why I have them
Maybe I am sad that you have left
maybe I am sad that I didn't leave with you
Maybe I am sad that you left with someone else
Maybe I am worried that this "someone" won't love you as much as I did
Maybe I am worried that this "someone" does love you as much as I did
Maybe I am angry that I made a fool of myself
That I wasted my time on you
maybe that's all you were
a waste of time and energy
maybe that's how I want to remember it
But the stupid part of me won't let that happen
I want to remember you as my first love
As the first person I shared a part of myself with
The first person who made me feel stupid
The person who made me a hopeless romantic
And then left me hopelessly
and now I want to turn into you
I want to pretend to care
I want to pretend to like someone
I don't want to be a hopeless romantic anymore
So that just the way I fixed you
Someone fixes me
I am sure many people want to
Many people are stupid like me
Yk the worst thing about habits?
they take 21 days to form
But won't even go away in 21 years
(I can't confirm it I'm still 16)
"Marne ke baad bhi meri aankhen khuli rhi
Aadat pari thi inhe intezaar ki"
~habits
maybe it's not even the "habit"
maybe it's just the aftertaste of it
maybe the aftertaste is like a scar
which heals over time but still leaves an imprint
"i looked down on my body
only to find myself drowned in those footprints
a sign of visitors"
I have to come to terms with it
That I am here and will always be
But you have walked away
far away
I have to let these scars heal
I have to
I can't let them stay open
they'll catch an infection
maybe I want them to
because that stupid part of me
hopelessly hopes that'll you'll come to treat it
that you'll kiss it better
you won't
someone will
someone will walk in to treat all the wounds they didn't create
someone will walk in to heal something they didn't break
"i saw the tides gently wipe away some of these footprints while leaving the most
only to make space for more visitors to come
the visitors leave , their footprints stay
until another visitor walks over them"
Closure.
It's 31st May , 2024 , 6 am in the morning
I didn't sleep at all I stayed up doing random things, but all of it ended with me praying
well , for someone as pathetic as i
there could me many things to pray for ;
a better life , health , my parents to (finally) love me , good grades , any improvement of any sort infact
But at the end of a day and the start of another
I find myself praying for him
for how I wish I could hug him goodbye
how I wish I could meet him for one last time
how I wish I could look into his eyes one last time
how I wish I could hear him laugh one last time
How I wish I could see him smile one last time
and oh how I wish to just lay my eyes on him one last time
to just rest my eyes on him and memorize every little detail
the way his almond eyes are a little widespread
the way his nose scrunches as a reflex everytime he's in sun
the his smile is slightly titled towards left
the way his lips just stay in the same position when he laughs
the way his eyes catch the first hint of emotion that eventually creeps across his face
the way he raises his eyebrows subconsciously
the way he touches his nose everytime he is thinking
the way he shifts his head to one side whenever he stands
the way his teeth are bent forwards at a 10° angle
he is a beautiful boy
I probably don't even remember what he looks like exactly
I would just love to admire him one last time
I was not sure whether i should use past or present tense when I talk of his face
I am sure he changed
He probably looks prettier now
only to make me hate myself more
I often wonder if he is completely oblivious to my feelings
is he completely unaware of how much I want to hug him
not to feel anything but just a warm embrace
by him
by the first boy I fell in love with when I was just a kid
the first boy whose name I wrote at the back of my diary to find "flames" of lol
Embracing him would be like embracing my entire childhood
my ages through puberty
my acne phase
my bob-hair-tomboy-anjali phase
my boyband phase
my bangs phase
my theater phase
my artist phase
my jee phase
through it all he was there
not physically but somewhere in my heart
Just there
like an asshole really
somewhere he shouldn't be
but just with his legs on the table with shoes still on , a ciggerate in one hand and my diary in other
he owns it
he knows the command he has over me even if he isn't there
is that what romanticizing someone out of bounds feels like?
someone who isn't yours, was never yours ,will never be yours
but you know that the world is a game of gamble
and even a chance as small as a spec of sand is still a chance
and you hold onto that chance so dearly that everything you think about is consumed by that tiny possibility against the innumerable odds
yet you fight the world and it's rules just to think of yourself as his and his as yours
irrationally , erratically, irresistibly
I fantasize sometimes that maybe if i hugged him good bye
maybe then he would take his shoes off the table and leave
maybe that hug could do what almost 10 years of life couldn't
I fantasize sometimes that maybe if i had a huge fight with him and told him to get out
maybe then he would flip me off and leave
maybe that fight could do what almost 10 years of life couldn't
but that hug and that fight are the spec of sand
against the odds that I might never see him in this lifetime
and if I do I am sure that I would turn into that little girl again who understood what being vulnerable meant at an alarmingly young age
I wish I could just lie in his arms and cry
cry about how much I miss him
about how much I wish he was mine
about how much I hate him
about how difficult it has been to hate him
and about how I would go to the moon and back just to see him break into a titled smile
I was literally ready to fight anything and anyone to protect him
and I did
until i realised that he doesn't want my protection
until I realise how foolish it was to go to battles for someone who doesn't even want you to
; not because they care about you getting hurt
but because they wouldn't care at all even if you died
maybe he was blind and didn't see me
Or maybe he saw me and used my help and just left like that
I truly don't know which one is worse
I hate how much space he consumes of my thoughts
I hate how everything reminds me of him
his song pops up in my recommendations
everytime I open my eyes I see his favourite colour
when I open my phone and there are messages from him
when I open my phone and there are no messages from him
i hate how much I love him
when I don't cross his mind at all
yeah I'm definitely failing chemistry

I have had this account for a while but I only used it for reading smut 😶🌫️ lmao and now I want to use it to bring some decorum in my life.
I think writing a blog about my day is a good way to keep myself in check. I'll be treating this blog like my journal.
My lifestyle has been very messed up from the last two years , so along with studying, I'm also gonna focus on getting my shit together in general. this account would revolve around the same , but I also yap a lot so I'm gonna talk about some random musings as well :3 :)) ;)
I have my physical education theory paper this morning (fml) never thought I would have to memorize yoga poses (fml again)
pulling an all nighter rn
3/6 chapters done , 3 more to go
I guess I'll stay up for an hour or two more take one hour nap and go for it (I'm not proud of myself ik)
mid-term week ; let's see if I finish mid-term or mid-term finishes me

Are you preparing for JEE?
Yes , I'm preparing for jee 2025 and I have my first attempt in january
I've actually started preparing late so idk how my first attempt will be ,but I'm gonna try my best and give both attempts.
I'll also be giving BITSAT :))
(I'm answering my first proper "ask" aaaahhh)
I went to the mall with my bestfriend yesterday, it was soo fun we even went to the book store in there :))
I picked up Matthew Perry's autobiography - Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing
and I was flushed with a wave of nostalgia, sadness and overwhelming love for that man.
Even though I was born three years after friends ended , I still grew up on it and chandler was the one I related to the most ,Infact he was my friend's favourite character and we would talk about chandler a lot or repeat his jokes and that made him even more special to me.
It really feels like we are reading his personal diary as it takes us through his life. There are several pictures in there as well and one of them is of him as a teenager surrounded with a bunch of kids and the caption is -
"I have always been great with kids. Man,I wish I had one of my own"
this just..stayed with me and I think it will stay with me for a while, I miss him. I hope he's in a better place. <3
