Everyone walks out !


" तुम हो पास मेरे, साथ मेरे हो तुम यूं"
What if you never had a chance to say a 'goodbye' ? That the last time you were with someone when you didn't know if you'll ever meet them again. What if they are immortalized in our memories and we remember them like it's our last name and you get a call from that someone who is no longer here. Someone who died or fell out of love !
When someone you love, flees. And the first thing you would do is 'deny' the reality, the bitter truth. You then close your eyes 'wishing' it to be a cruel wretched dream.


" कहीं से कहीं को भी, आओ बेवजह चले पूछे बिना किसी से, हम मिले"
Maybe the biggest part of letting go is acceptance. They don't teach you in the school what heartbreaks feel like or how to handle yourself when someone most delicate leaves. How to unlove, how to alter and how to delete memories, no they'll never gonna teach you.
You would cry and sacrifice things if it meant for them to stay a day longer.
When you're going through this hardship, you wouldn't care if you die, you would just want the other person to stay. It's the saddest story of the world. Grief and love makes you do the scariest things.
Some here are trying so hard to forget and many are trying so hard to remember.


" खुद को मैं हार गया तुमको, तुमको मैं जीता हूं"
You would then pray and hear 'Azaan, Bhajans, Hymns and Gurbani' and after being an atheist you worship God because this little hope inside you tells, he can reverse things and bring them back, maybe. That maybe hold those broken pieces of yours altogether in hopes.
I just wish they exist in the place that constantly remind us that goodbyes are hard to accept and loss is the language you'll learn every day because everyone will leave one day. But, always remember, "The ones who love us never really leave, they always live within ourselves."
