Somebody That I Used to Love

Mujhse pehli si mohabat mere mehboob na maang. — Faiz Ahmed Faiz

Once Upon a Time

Past:

I have survived several heartbreaks.

Why did I get addicted to you?

Hormones? Maybe not. I remember deciding to fall crazy in love.

I loved your raw core & enjoyed the crooked edges.

To me, you were extremely charming.

I saw your need for me. I was there. You left. I waited. I broke down. I left. You were scared. You came back. It was over.

I thought I would never recover. My heart won’t be whole again. I built myself again. I felt whole again.

Until…

Present:

Once in a while

Thoughts of you

Dreams of an impossible reality

Plagues of my heart

I Am My #1 Priority

Future:

Are we adults yet? Can we handle adult interactions without the need for protective hostility? Can we meet once in a blue moon to catch up on life and wish each other well?
