You

In that never ending list of names
I'd spent nights searching for yours

I remember when you said that
If I keep my hand on something I'll be a topper in that
Maybe your prayers were answered
There are now a million names in that list that I hold
And all I look for is the letter '☐'

I had imagined a future
Together, for us
A future where there would never even be shadow of sadness
In this world of sad and empty hearts
All I look for is a heart like yours

I still think about where we went wrong
I still think about what I did wrong
But there is one thing I'm certain of
In the fight against society
WE lost
And in this war of love and peace
All I look for is a face resembling yours

I don't know where time would take us
Maybe we'll end up together
Maybe we'll go along our paths 
Not talking ever again
And in this journey of life
All I look for is a voice as sweet as yours

I believe that the time we were together 
Would be the best time of my life
And I don't know about you
But I believe that someday
I would look up that list of mine
And there would be your name
In bold and capitals
That someday I'll be walking around
And I'll lock eyes with you on the metro
And I'll not let go
That someday I'll be scrolling through social media
And I'll hear your voice for one last time

But for now, I have this archive of conversations
And all I look for
Is a name that I wish to remember forever.

They Say You Don't Love Me

They say you don’t love me Because we don’t sit together They say you don’t love me Because we don’t talk to each other They say you don’t love me Because unlike others, we haven’t made it public They say you don’t love me Because you talk to other guys more than me They say you don’t love me Because you don’t look at me They say you don’t love me I don’t think you love me either I think you love the way we are Because I know we don’t sit together as you feel awkward Because I know we don’t talk to each other as you really need to study Because I know unlike others, we don’t need the world to know everything Because I know that whoever you talk to, in the end, you love me Because I know with tilted eyes your eyes always look out for one face in the classroom They say you don’t love me anymore And I always tell them I don’t care Because I know they’re not right Because I know that whatever happens, we will be here for each other always And ...

There is a theory That when you die your whole life flashes right before your eyes I don't really understand how something so long can be flashed in mere seconds But it's not the life you think you lived  In your final moments what you see are people The people who cared It doesn't matter if you've ever met them or not I don't know if it was the last time I saw her But it was someone I felt connected to I've never met her I've never seen her But tell me to describe the face, and I can write poetry on it She was not like everyone else And when I was there lying on the ground Her eyes were stuck on me Not in sympathetic or romantic way Neutral Just lying there, looking at me And in that moment I felt a strange connection  A connection that you feel with the people you love And those silver locks of hair Like she was blessed by the thunder god himself That lock went from ...

El Dorado

I looked around and not a single silhouette was there The desert was extremely quiet Just as I was about to lose hope There she was Standing as if the world was her stage She lent me a hand I stood up, my eyes still fixed on her smile It was difficult to believe that she was a human Her smile was eternal, godly And as my eyes turned around In a flash, she was gone Forever I wonder who she was I wonder why she appeared there I wonder, why me And I didn't even realize that the sand dunes were far away I was out of the desert I could see a foot trail but I don't remember walking the distance I wasn't even tired Confused, I turned again And there it was, the one thing I was searching for I walked inside this huge archway The entrance to the city The city of pure gold Or the other name that you've heard El Dorado The beautiful city, sparkling As the sunlight reflected from the surface of the statues My eyes couldn't believe what they saw And...
