I didn’t ask for your scent,
But it clings to me still,
Like a promise I never made,
But always kept.
Didn’t beg for your warmth,
Yet it soaked into my bones.
And now I shiver in rooms
You’ve never entered.
You wrapped yourself in silk,
But it was your silence
That undressed me.
Your voice, I never meant to crave it,
But now silence tastes like you.
I remember the night
You came wrapped in ribbons,
A gift I didn’t deserve.
You said, “Cut me open.”
And I did, not with blades,
But with breath.
Your lips found my scars,
Kissed the whip marks
My father left behind.
You didn’t flinch.
You worshipped. And I,
I was trained to forget.
But you made forgetting a sin.
We never slept beneath one sheet,
But I dreamt of it every night.
Never kissed in daylight,
But your lips haunt my shadows.
You were never mine to keep,
But I kept you anyway,
In the folds of memory,
In the bruises I never showed.
You gave me war
When I didn’t ask for love.
You became my wound
When I didn’t beg for pain.
Now I walk with your ghost,
Drenched in the rain of what-ifs.
Your moans echo in my ears,
Your child lives in my blood.
You sleep beside him
But I know your body
Still remembers mine.
You married him to protect me,
But I would’ve burned
Every uniform, every medal,
Just to keep you.
I burn where you touched me.
I ache where you kissed me.
And I die every time you look away.
You were my mission
I couldn’t complete, and now,
I’d burn the world to try again.
I have memorized you not like a name,
But like a sacred verse.
You’ve carved a place in me,
Not as a guest, but as tradition itself.
I remember you the way
The body remembers breath
Without trying, without forgetting.
You’ve become my habit,
The kind that stays until
Death folds its arms.
This love of ours is not
A moment; it is life.
To live inside it is a blessing
Written in the language of fate.
They call it love, but you,
My beloved,
Is the universe hidden
In a single word?
You are the peace of my heart
Never knew it needed.
Your love has lit festivals in my chest
Eids of longing,
Celebrations of ache.
And now, when your name rises in silence,
It feels like worship.
Not loud, but holy.
Gently, it captivates.
Today, it envelops me.
My body longs for quenching
Embrace me within your arms.
Promise me, my love,
Stay not distant.
This separation whispers
Come close to me.
Let the rain fall continuously,
Dark clouds pour down.
May we both be soaked in
The downpour of this longing.
Untangle my open strands
With your fingers.
I exist in this desire.
In the cold nights,
We slept beneath one blanket.
Both of us in solitude,
No one else in this abode.
Gently, it captivates.
Today it envelops me.
My body longs for quenching
Embrace me within your arms.
Come, come,
Your words torment me.
Even if love be untrue,
I haven’t forgotten
Those beautiful encounters.
Disturb me with
All your conversations.
Just once, oh passionate one,
Even if love be a falsehood.
I won’t forget those
Beautiful encounters.
Be not upset with me,
My beloved,
Make a promise. Living
Without you is challenging.
My beloved, promise me.
Gently, it captivates.
Today it envelops me.
My body longs for quenching
Embrace me within your arms.
Promise me, my love,
Stay not distant.
This separation whispers
Come close to me.
Come… come… Come… come…
She carries longing
In the folds of her heart
A flame wrapped in silk,
A secret too wild to tame.
Before him, she
Lays down her youth,
The prime of her life,
Like an offering at dusk.
Her body, her breath,
Her every curve
In the service of his gaze.
She moves like fire
In a goblet of grace,
Each gesture ignites
The shadows in his eyes.
And when he looks,
Her veil trembles
His flame rising
Behind tear-laced lashes.
Her lips ache for
The company of his,
Thirsty for closeness,
For the heat of reunion.
Once parted, now they find
Shelter in each other’s arms
A fate fulfilled in
The hush of night.
Even in her lowest moments,
She remembers the heights
They reached when
Love was unbound,
When every touch was
A prayer answered.
She burns for him still,
Not loudly, but in the quiet
Where devotion lives.
And he, he drinks from
Her fire like a man
Starved for the one sin
He’ll never regret.
When you hold me in the street
And you kiss me on the dance floor
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that?
Because I'm yours
We keep behind closed doors
Every time I see you,
I die a little more
Stolen moments that we
Steal as the curtain falls
It'll never be enough
It's obvious you're meant for me
Every piece of you
Just fits perfectly
Every second, every thought,
I'm in so deep
But I'll never show it on my face
But we know this
We got a love that is homeless
Why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
Because I'm yours
When you're with him,
Do you call his name?
Like you do when you're with me?
Does it feel the same?
Would you leave if
I was ready to settle down
Or would you play it safe and stay?
Girl, you know this
We got a love that is hopeless
Why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
Because I'm yours
And nobody knows I'm in love
With someone's baby
I don't wanna hide us away
Tell the world about the
Love, we're making
I'm living for that day someday
Why can't I hold you in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that we could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
Because I'm yours
Why can't I say that I'm in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftop
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
Because I'm yours
Why can't we be like that?
Wish we could be like that
