After You...

After You...

After you, I searched for traces of love in the bed-sheets you've been.

In the flowers, kisses, overcooked omelette and everything.

I wanted you so bad that I looked for you everywhere.

In the middle of late night chats, on the dates you were late.

I literally searched for you. Everywhere!

In my heart, mind and outside it.

I looked through the same sunsets again, in the long drives and between the continuous talk.

On the dinner table, our bedroom and in my arms. I looked for you, everywhere!


After you, loving someone else was difficult,

but what more difficult was to find someone like you again,

Those talking eyes,

perfect nose,

all the restaurants for the date,

that you chose.

Someone to share the other side of my almirah with,

someday accidentally with his, I will brush my teeth

Someone, oh no! I was just looking out for another you.


After you, I looked out of the windows more than ever

had to pull my own hairs back to my ears,

after you, eating a pizza alone was difficult

Coming home late was not an escape anymore.


After you, Maybe one day love won't look like a dream so scary you think you would fall off the bed.

Maybe someday love won't feel like a rush that you have when you escape an accident.

Maybe someday, love will be easy, like having your favorite food.

Maybe one day, love won't have to look like you.

After you, Maybe one day, love will be more than just you!
