Anisha Mukherjee, 2021
We were like a black hole
When we collided, we destroyed our stars and moons
How magnificent that attraction was, how unbreakable I thought
But how can we break each other so much while looking at each other’s eyes?
Is it me still seeing those eyes and smile?
Is it only I still smell you here by my side?
Do this love also break you inside?
Do I still come by your dream and hug you skintight?
You said memories will haunt me
How can I tell you those memories keeps me occupied
After you left, I nearly died
Until one day you came by and say “hi” in my dream
Do you still have the masculine habit of smelling hair?
Do you remember the smell of my hair or did you replace it with another?
I found the strength in me and the love you left behind
I am stuck in the phase of our love, am I losing my mind?
Even if you denied the love I have for you
Even we parted our ways
Even if we act as we hate each other
It can’t just die
Cause I promised to keep it alive
Our love was true but we have to live our lives as two
We are a world apart but oh! how our love come to pass
Did you cry while reading this poem?
Cause I did a little while living in the memory lane
If your heart feels a little clink
Do not mistake it with a pain
It is the appreciation of our love that we never did
We are miles away, but we both still can feel
We are miles away, but we both still can feel
