Love Happens Only Once

"Love happens only once. Rest, my dear, is a compromise."

They say you can never ever forget your first love. This is true, because after the first one, it is not love. It is either a rebound relationship, or infatuation that would fade away, or maybe you are just lying to yourself. True Love knocks your door only once, and if you don't answer the call, you would regret for the rest of your life. It might give you a second chance, but you cannot be certain about it. So never, ever, lose your true love. Because you might not know how losing your love is like.

"Losing your love is like having a thousand lives, and have them all die at once. "

Old Pages of The Diary

I once asked you 'Can We Be More Than Just Friends?'
You made my life a bliss by answering in the affirmative.
I once asked you 'Will you always be mine?'
You rebuked me for asking the question, for you said there was never a chance of you leaving me.
You made me confident of myself, and I always derived my confidence from you.
It is you who continue to affect my life every moment, even when you are not now with me.
I could not thank my fortunes enough for bringing you, a true angel, in the life of a person like me, who was good for nothing.
Girl, I could never express my love for you in words. I could never, even if I try, stop loving the princess, who for some years, was part of my life.
Your beautiful memories still make me smile, but the very next moment, my eyes turn damp as I realize I now just have those memories to live by.

Zinda To Ab Bhi Hoon...

ऐसा तो नहीं की मैं अब जिंदा नहीं,
बस ज़िन्दगी अब मेरे साथ नहीं है...

साँसें तो अब भी ले रहा हूँ मैं,
पर न जाने क्यूँ,
मुझे अब जिंदगानी कोसों तक नज़र नहीं आती...

तुम कहा करती थी ना, कि हँसते हुए अच्छा लगता हूँ,
देखो, अब भी मुस्कुराता हूँ,
मगर सिर्फ दिखाने के लिए...

तुम चली गयी, इसका गम नहीं मुझको,
गम तो है, कि मैं तुम्हे रोक न पाया...

मैं तब भी लिखता था, मैं अब भी लिखता हूँ,
बस मामूली सा फर्क है मेरे लिखने में,
तब तुम्हारे लिए लिखता था,
अब तुम्हे याद कर लिखता हूँ...

तुम्हे अच्छा लगता था, मेरा तुम्हें यूँ देखना,
ज़िन्दगी में फिर कभी, किसी को यूँ देख न पाउँगा...

तुम कह गयी थी ना, कि कभी किसी को बता नहीं सकता,
देखना, एक दिन सबके सामने, हमारी गाथा मैं सुनाऊंगा...

"आज मैं कुछ नया शुरू कर रहा हूँ...
साथ बिताये उस वक़्त को, शब्दों में संजोने जा रहा हूँ...
इन शब्दों को मिलाकर, मैं एक कहानी कहने जा रहा हूँ.."

Pouring Out My Heart...

I have poured out my heart into this..
I want to say a thousand things to you, but I know you would not listen..
I want to hug you so tight that I forget everything, but I know that's not possible..
I want to see you for hours and smile, but I know that's not in my fate..
I want to hold your hand and tell the world proudly that you are mine, but I know that's not my right anymore..
I wish I could be the one who is the reason for your smile and the shoulder you reach out to when you are sad..
The many promises I made to you and all the dreams we kindled together, I wish I could fulfill all of that..
I want our story to be an inspiration for others and I want it to be one which re-establishes people's belief in the fact that true love exists even today..
I want to laugh on the face of my fate and say, "Look, I defeated you"..
I want ki wo jo dialogue hai na ki kisi ko agar puri shiddat se chaho toh har zarra tumhe us se milane ki saazish karta hai, I want ki ye dialogue real life mein bhi equally applicable ho..
Shayada bahut zyada maang liya maine, but all I want is YOU..

If I had to express what I want in just 7 words, all I would say is
"I want to grow old with you"..

Aisa Kyun Hota Hai....

Wo kehti thi mere bina reh nahi payegi,
Aaj mere bina har pal ka jashn manati hai,
Kehti thi wo ki meri muskurahat pasand hai,
Aaj mere aansuon ko bhi dekhti tak nahi,
Wo taakti thi meri raah har pal,
Aaj mujhe dekh nazre fer leti hai,
Wo kehti thi meri kavita use pasand hai,
Aalam ab ye hua ki apna ek bhi lafz us ko suna nahi sakta,
Sada mere saath rehne ka vaada karti thi wo,
Kaise ek pal mein badal gayi main bata nahi sakta,
Jise chaha maine itna toot kar,
Woh chali gayi meri khushi loot kar,
Shayad yahi pyar ki reet rahi hogi,
Ya fir meri haar ki feharist mein, bas ek aur pankti judi hogi...
