Letters from Juliet (IV)
I woke up today and realised
that it isn't about your name not being there on my lips
it's not about the roses not smelling like you
or the coffee not reminding me of us
or me not being afraid of thunder anymore
It's the fact that I wish it wasn't this way
I , deeply, desperately, delusionally wish for -
my lips to be stained by your name
not just roses but every single flower to remind me of you
me to be scared of every thunderstorm
and that is because
a part of me
a stupid godamn part of me
wishes that you'll be there to comfort me
maybe I'm still holding onto that part of me
a poet Ahmad Faraz once said
"ranjish hī sahī dil hī dukhāne ke liye aa
aa phir se mujhe chhoḌ ke jaane ke liye aa"
Just the thought of you coming back generates more happiness than the inherent pain of you walking away
which you will
you always do
with so much ease
it makes me question humanity
Maybe you didn't like me
but just for humanity,
I expected you to turn around
but you didn't
Or maybe you did and I didn't catch you
(Even though I haven't looked away since the first time I saw you)
how is it so easy for you?
how is it so hard for me?
did you ever have tears in your eyes for me?
No
No you didn't
I did
Way too many times
I have them in my eyes right now
I don't know why I have them
Maybe I am sad that you have left
maybe I am sad that I didn't leave with you
Maybe I am sad that you left with someone else
Maybe I am worried that this "someone" won't love you as much as I did
Maybe I am worried that this "someone" does love you as much as I did
Maybe I am angry that I made a fool of myself
That I wasted my time on you
maybe that's all you were
a waste of time and energy
maybe that's how I want to remember it
But the stupid part of me won't let that happen
I want to remember you as my first love
As the first person I shared a part of myself with
The first person who made me feel stupid
The person who made me a hopeless romantic
And then left me hopelessly
and now I want to turn into you
I want to pretend to care
I want to pretend to like someone
I don't want to be a hopeless romantic anymore
So that just the way I fixed you
Someone fixes me
I am sure many people want to
Many people are stupid like me
Yk the worst thing about habits?
they take 21 days to form
But won't even go away in 21 years
(I can't confirm it I'm still 16)
"Marne ke baad bhi meri aankhen khuli rhi
Aadat pari thi inhe intezaar ki"
~habits
maybe it's not even the "habit"
maybe it's just the aftertaste of it
maybe the aftertaste is like a scar
which heals over time but still leaves an imprint
"i looked down on my body
only to find myself drowned in those footprints
a sign of visitors"
I have to come to terms with it
That I am here and will always be
But you have walked away
far away
I have to let these scars heal
I have to
I can't let them stay open
they'll catch an infection
maybe I want them to
because that stupid part of me
hopelessly hopes that'll you'll come to treat it
that you'll kiss it better
you won't
someone will
someone will walk in to treat all the wounds they didn't create
someone will walk in to heal something they didn't break
"i saw the tides gently wipe away some of these footprints while leaving the most
only to make space for more visitors to come
the visitors leave , their footprints stay
until another visitor walks over them"

Letters from Juliet (II)
All the faith I put upon our names
"Jack and Juliet"
I hear it all the time
I hear angels sing
I see Eden's rosemary bloom
They just fit perfectly with eachother.
But did we?
watching it shatter
As if I didn't know it would.
Everybody looks at me in awe
and my heart aches for your glances
It's saddening.
It's maddening
Too less , after all the nights we spent wrapped around each other's fingers
Our hearts beating together
Our souls touching eachother
"Noone understands me better" You said.
I smiled and told you "I like butterflies"
I like you too.
i fixed your place.
between my coffee and sleep
Between dusk and dawn
Between mortal and immortal
between the gods and devils
Was I really meant to be just one of the chapters in your book?
Was Our story only meant to be till here?
Was this how it was supposed to end?
It's funny.
It's hilarious.
I wish for you.
30 years from now ,
just have a hand on heart and
open the lock on our memories once and look at it ,
with a smile
with a frown
with a tear?
If i was destined to be your distant memory then I hope I gave you good ones
Do call me if you remember my name.
Do come over if you have my address.
If I slip away to hell in my sleep someday
just like we talked about , chuckling
Do you promise to bring lilac prints and lilies to my grave?
Which will probably be lost amongst all your other juliets.
But I promise to tell Satan all about you.
only you.

Letters from Juliet (I)
We're astrologers aren't we jack?
Predicted it all long before our story was anywhere near to "near the end".
Why does it hurt then?
Back in July ,
I remember.
summer skies,
cherry lies.
You and me.
My endless stories.
Your pointless jokes.
loud laughs turned to silent cries,
for how long should one try?
My feet are calloused
My hands are sweaty
And I promise, i can do with all
but my heart.
It's tired.
It has been crushed before
And it can't take it no more
The world has its daggers at me
I crave warmth,
you gave it to me.
held me.
rocked me back and forth.
I loved you,
You loved me.
this was never a love story.
All the predictions we had
"How will it end?"
none ended with us together.
We are not each other's first
And we'll certainly not be last.
But I had faith,
In heaven.
In God.
You didn't.
so god saved you.

Suuuuuper productive day today! Caught up on all the work I’d missed at certain points in the past 2 weeks.
Finished all my work for tutoring next week
Completed my revision on the cognitive perspective
Finally perfected some knowledge on Moray (1959)
Even had time to meet up with a friend group before they head off to uni next week! Had some lovely vegetarian curry that my friend made me and found some conkers :)
Snack of the day ~ falafels and hummus
Hang on...so you're telling me

I'm so happy yipee!!!!!
Just came back after giving my physics mid term,
whew
Stayed up till 5:50 for an exam at 7:15 AM
I honestly don't know how it went , it could've been a lot better , I'm not happy with the way it went :''(
My brain hurts a lot, i just want to eat and sleep rn but guess fucking what? ...chem tomorrow
kill me now kill me now
I'll have to start studying by mid noon anyhow
I can't complain cause i brought this on myself
Karma is a bitch
I should've studied beforehand
don't be like me
study now , be sane later
But it's okay , I know I'll bounce back , I just need to take it one day at a time
Sometimes you just need to grab something to eat , take a good nap and get back up
that's it
let's see if I finish mid term or mid term finishes me
I'm the sweetest girl in town so why are you so mean?
