[nakamkavi]

I am not waiting for you anymore but why does it feel like I still am,

I used to look forward to your texts and the conversations we had, the time we spent.

Now i dread it, somewhere in me I'm scared of your texts, what do i even say to you anymore,

I'm scared of you coming back, because I know I will be stuck again waiting for you.

I miss you less now, but I am sure that I won't ever stop missing you,

Don't make me wait for you to slap me across the face and block me forever.

Don't let me live in limbo.

phir yunh hua kay ek dusray ko taktay rahain yunhi // wo andaaz e bayaan say qaasir, mein lafz e ibtida say aajiz

— Then it so happened, we remained lost in each other’s gaze; they were restrained in expression, and I, unable to speak
